Dennis Smith's collection, train to Canterbury and Ashburton. PHOTO ALBUM

About this image

DescriptionThese pictures are from a reel film that has been converted from Dennis Smith's collection. I have no idea who the people in the film are, or what the occasion was. They travelled on the train to Canterbury and Ashburton.
Can anyone help me name the people in these photos, please? There are lots more faces I can add. I don't think admin would appreciate me loading the whole film (24 minutes long).Map^[1]ContributorMegan Smith

Megan, you may remember that I taught at Grey High with your father from 1976-1978. I recall he was into drama and performing arts, which makes me wonder if he was in the Greymouth Savage Club? Ashburton had (and still does, I understand) a strong Savage Club, and "raids" between clubs were common. Savage Clubs (males only!) gave members opportunities for musical performances - playing, singing etc - helped along by a drink, or two, or three - but they provided great fellowship and friendship opportunities too, and were very popular in their day.
