St. John Ambulance on Parade

Members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the Tahunanui-Stoke and Nelson divisions turned out in force last month for their annual inspection and parade. Big event of the day was the presentation of Priory Votes of Thanks to three members of the Nelson division for outstanding service to St. John's. These awards are highly prized and very few are awarded.

The Assistant-Commissioner, Mr R. Towers, has a word with Jeffrey Somerfield (Tahuna) during the parade at Tahuna.

Mr Towers also commented on the bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award of Leigh Climo (Stoke).
