About this image

DescriptionBede Brown.. Most of the men in the pictures are from Westport. It was common for one Club to raid another with the raiding Club putting on a show to entertain those being raided. These pictures suggest it was Westport raiding Greymouth and I base that assumption on the final photo where the host Club spokesperson is thanking the raiding Club.
