Is there any way to double check a name here? I think the sitting instructor (W Mollinson) may in fact be my great grandfather Capt William Mollison who also coached many greymouth/rununga boxers. Is it possible to check if the name has been mis-spelled. I’ve never seen this pic before but it sure looks like him.

Diana Mattingly, Gail Brown, do you remember grandma telling us about exercising using those clubs?

Diana Mattingly
yes

Judy Ann Hinde
Big thank you to Tony Kokshoorn for posting this pic. Pretty sure this is Cpt Mollison. The family are going to be really happy to see this.

Just wondering about W McTaggart as non of the McTaggart girls first names started with a w ,it does look like great ant Mina she would have been 16 at that time

Christopher Morresey
Got it right now ,just found out ant Mina real name was Williamina .She was all ways just called Mina

Kerrie Jenkins-Henry Your grandfathers sister my aunt Anne in front row?

Kerrie Jenkins-Henry
Crow Bay yes that's right Jock. Our Great Aunty Annie! Lived next door to Grandad. Mum had this book. I think your dad had a lot to do with the gymnastics programmes later on? Hope you're travelling better Jock

Kerrie Jenkins-Henry
Crow Bay I thought Great Aunty Maggie (McTaggart) was in this too, but I could be wrong. I'll have a look

Kerrie Jenkins-Henry
I must be thinking of another one. Only Aunty Annie.
