Mayor Gilbert Rennie said on the day, "May you go form strength to strength. I am certain that the Council and people of this city will do all possible within reason to help with your plans."'

This image was taken for Manawatu Evening Standard newspaper dated on 18 July 1963 with the caption, "The Cuba Street Trinity Methodist Church as it looked before its 70th anniversary celebrated on Saturday July 20, 1963. The anniversary celebrations coincided with the opening of a new church hall, with seating for 300 people, opened and dedicated by the president of the NZ Conference of the Methodist Church, Rev R Thornley of Wellington. Methodist services began in Palmerston North in 1870 and are said to be the first worship services held in the town. The parishioners met in private homes and timber mills as the opportunity offered; in 1893 the land was bought in Cuba Street and by free labour the Trinity Methodist Church was built. The first fellowship hall behind the church was built in October 1957. In 1959 a house property next to the church was bought and altered to service a creche and bursery; in 1961, further property was bought in David Street adjoining the church, for a youth centre. Total assets (in 1963) were estimated at about 70,000 pounds." The first resident minister had been the Rev TG Hammond.

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 22 July 1981, with the caption: "Half mast flag marks 'shame' day: Palmerston North's anti-tour protestors marked New Zealand's 'National Day of Shame' with a peaceful march through the central City." The 'Day of Shame' march was the largest of several protest events before and after the Springbok Rubgy team played Manawatū in Palmerston North in 1 August 1981. The March moved from St Patrick's cathedral, down Broadway Avenue, circled the Square, ending in the 'Lion's Den' quadrant. 500 demonstrators began the march but the numbers may have swelled to 1000 by its end. The protesters were occasionally heckled by pro-tour members of the public. March chants included "Don't scrum with racist scum", and "We don't want your racist tour".

The record had been held by Lincoln College students, their total being 210 miles. Although the record was broken at 1:30 a.m., the Massey students kept pushing and increased it to 250 miles.
