Ex-Navalmen's Cabaret Evening
Former members of the senior service gathered for a cabaret evening in Nelson last month to enjoy themselves and, undoubtedly, to recall some of the interesting and amusing episodes which occurred during their time at sea. (Peter Cooper Studio).
This is a rum go: Dick Kitt and Joe Cotterell giving president Wally Strong his tot.
"It doesn't tickle, it purrrrs," says Mrs Delaney of Mr Delaney's home-grown beard.
Happy group: Mrs Merv Stewart, Bob and Fay McLean (now in Wellington), Wally Strong and wife Lil, and Merv Stewart.
Ex-navalmen and wives enjoying themselves: Mr and Mrs Noel Palmer, Mr and Mrs Eric Coles, Mr and Mrs Sam Weller, and Clem Denne.
