R.S.A.'s Loss Tin Hat Club Says Goodbye to Johnny

The R.S.A., and the Tins Hat Club in particular, have lost a great stalwart in Johnny Simpson who has returned with his family to live in England.

Johnny has been responsible for the scripts and production of the Anzac Night concerts for the past nine years, and for the entertainment provided for R.S.A. Tattoos and Ladies' Nights.

Laughter was the keynote for all the shows and Johnny and his talent will be sadly missed.

As a farewell gesture Johnny produced a final show for the special tattoo on April 29 when a capacity attendance rocked the hall with laughter. We're only sorry we can't reproduce the script for you!
