Moonshine

Moonshine

Sunday dawned fine and while those whose conscience demanded it went to Church, we took the kegs out to Moonshine in the Red van, ready for the picnic in the afternoon. With the train at 2.30 p.m. the crowd arrived and Jean had her forces suitably disposed to meet the invasion. Some prepared afternoon tea, others stood ready with the kegs, and the Red van, with speakers mounted, directed the crowd, Beer and afternoon tea were distributed and the antics of the Haka Party entertained the crowd. A few bludgers in N.Z.U. blazers, who were old enough to know better pinched one of the kegs and took it apart from the crowd down the river bank. Luckily the keg was recovered just after it had been broached. Sunday-evening saw most of the competitors at the Roxy.

Monday night was really a fiesta. The Rowing Club made merry at the Royal Oak. Following the Athletics, the Athletic Club held a "dinner" at the Basin Reserve. With Jack Goldfinch as M.C.. George Dixon in the chair, and Dutch Holland leading the revelry round the piano, the "dinner" started roaringly. It was unfortunate that a few irresponsibles decided to wreck the room before they left.
