There was a special welcome to Blue Dorward (63-65) and Bryan Mouat (65-69) who were both attending their first "Puketapu Reunion". Apologies were received from: Rupert Ryan, Brian Tomlinson, Ralph Harper, Graham Malaghan, Hilton Meech, John Dentice, Jim Worboys, David Mossman, Farry McLeod, Keith McLeod, Donald McIlraith, Adrian Smith, David Buckley, Ron MacMillan, Peter Ramsden, Errol Lockhead, Murray Kenderdine, Stuart Gunn, Strat Ellingham.
