Geoffrey Bell
This goes with the above and is on the other side. The card was among some nick-knacks that Bebe McGuire, (ex Blaketown and Blackball), had kept.
No photo description available.
Alan Messenger
Uncle Noel must have had a good time, he later moved to Wellington.
Jan Warner
Alan Messenger perhaps he wanted to be near his sister.
Noeleen Mulholland
Alan Messenger I wonder if he had anything to do with writing that?
Alan Messenger
probably
Jan Warner
It sounds like his sense of humour.
John Coffey
Ron Messenger MNZM went from the Kohinoor wing to become President of the New Zealand Rugby Union. Only on the West Coast!!
Noeleen Mulholland

Pat Knox
Pat Knox. What a great find Geoffrey Bell. Possibly the earliest incidents of 'teams trips' between Randwick and West Coast Clubs, but to have a programme is great! We would'nt have done it Versus Runanga '88 or Brunner '89 when we 'borrowed' two Maris… See More
Pat Knox
add Gary' Gibbo' Gibson, Layne Green, 'Crusher' Milliken. They all played for Randwick. (Milliken in photo, background left, versus Korodale at the Hutt Rec)
