Looks like a beer festival in Columba hall?

Bob Reid
Note Bill Stanley not playing in the rear. Obviously getting ready to receive the glass boot of beer to skul. I remember one beer festival he stopped halfway for a breath, Win then told him it was a new one, half as big again.

I knew Charlie Ackland when he lived in Christchurch. Good player, and a good guy.

Johnny Smith
Great times and loved playing when they were really authentic German style functions. Not so good in later years when the jugs started flying!
