Bankers On The Town
Credit squeeze, overdrafts, and pounds, shillings, and pence were forgotten in favour of fun and frolics by bankers and those staffing the Nelson district banks when the banks combined to hold their annual ball. As usual the hall was lavishly decorated, adding to the gay atmosphere.
Late arrivals: Jean and Tom Pretty, Jenny and Carl Wise and June and Lionel Hawkins
Bank of New Zealand girls got together for this pic - Barbara Anderson, Lynette Ward, Maureen Dellow, Diane Hunt, Jill Hollyman, Rosalie Merritt, Marilyn Waddington.
In party mood: Kath and Jim Fleming, Neil and Jim Davies, Peter Sharland, and Jill Rountree.
A huge mural with a Mexican flavour dominated the stage
An innovation this year was supper at the Catholic hall in Songer Street, dancers being taken there in buses.
