Mirama Mcfadyen Oh lovely, recognise a few of these faces.
Shona Ratana Attended high school with a Mary Balderstone lovely girl from Ngahere have often wondered how she was over the years.
John Coffey Tom Reid was a Kiwi from Ngahere in 1960 and Auckland club Glenora in 1961. I remember Jacko Fahey and Alan Tibbles being very good footballers when I was a kid. Jack (Bully) Williams was co-manager of the 1971 Kiwis in Britain and France -- good bloke but he still owes me a jersey. I've stopped holding my breath!
Bill Garth Johnny Weir played Rugby for Marist but changed to Ngahere as he worked in National Bank in Reefton. Great guy moved to Christchurch sons went to St Bedes in the late 70s and 80s . RIP Johnny
John Coffey The Gibson family are West Coast rugby league legends. Grant, who would have been about 18 in the photo, was recognised in the 2020 New Year Honours after a lifetime of involvement, most of it as a referee and administrator.
Rhonda Glasson Rod Rudolph now lives in Whangerai
Jackie Fluerty We have this photo hanging on the wall in the pub as we had been given a copy, If any one has photos of rugby or wood chopping,boxing or any history photos of Ngahere Nelsocreek if we could get a copy for our wall it would be great. In this photo is my Dad Len my uncle Pete.
Elinor Tibbles Jackie when Allan and I sold the hotel there was a lot of old football photos left there. I wonder where they've gone. There was also Nelson Creek school reunion class photos we got framed and they were hung on the wall by the big glass doors. Are they still there?
Jackie Fluerty School photos still there first glass I window cleaned when purchased Hotel We have some photos but would love more, lots of people over time pop in to look at the school photos
Robert Porter The R Porter is my uncle
Robert Porter Leanne Grant uncle Ross save it and show dad
