The Story of the Napier R.S.A. Tin Hat Club

Our Tin Hat Club was formed in September, 1959, resolved on the following points – for the educational and cultural benefit and entertainment of ex-servicemen – and now after 18 months, progress in each of these spheres has been achieved. Guest speakers at our bi-monthly Tattoos have added considerably to our objects of educational and cultural interest and a wide and varied series of addresses have been delivered to a most appreciative membership. The “Tin Hat” symbol of comradeship and cheerful good humour has also come very much to the fore in our objective of entertainment, and much natural and original talent has resulted.

Last year we presented our first Anzac Revue with a cast of fifty-five completely inexperienced personnel, expressing a wish that our Revue would become an annual event. This wish has materialised this year, and again a similar number have volunteered and given many hours of their leisure to bring forth our second Revue, “The Desert Throng.”

We reiterate our view that while the main purpose of Anzac Day is to honour the fallen, the day is made more complete by honouring the victory that was also theirs, and to revive the comradeship we shared with them, and by so doing may this, in itself, be a living memorial, shared by you, the audience, and we Tin Hatters, to that happy brotherhood in arms.

Club President.

OF INTEREST TO RETURNED MEN . . .
Are YOU interested in becoming a member of “Tin Hat”?
If so, we suggest you read the following extracts from our Rules:

“OBJECTS:
The aims and objects of the Club shall be purely Social and as such to foster among members of the R.S.A. a spirit of friendliness and sociability by the holding of such Social functions as may be decided upon by the Committee of the Club or as desired by Members of the Club.

MEMBERSHIP:
Membership of the Club shall be open to all ex-servicemen who are financial members of the Napier Returned Services’ Association or any Association affiliated to the Napier R.S.A. or such persons who may be approved by the Committee from time to time.”

The Napier Club was formed in September 1959 and at present has a membership of 220. Since its inception eleven very successful “tattoos” have been held. These take the form of Bi-monthly social evenings in the R.S.A. Hall and centre round a 30-45 minute talk by a guest speaker. In addition good quality entertainment is provided together with other social activities.

Sister clubs are operating most successfully in Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, Gore and Invercargill. We in Napier feel that Tin Hat /Clubs have achieved a much needed want in R.S.A. activity and from the enthusiasm being shown by members we feel our future success is well assured.

It will be appreciated that the numerical strength of the Club must be restricted to the number that can be accommodated in the R.S.A. Hall. As a result we have formed a waiting list for membership – there are vacancies from time to time, so if you are interested fill in the membership application form below. All applications will be dealt with in strict order of date of receipt.

Ceremony of Remembrance . . .

At the concert this evening there will be a special ceremony at 9 o’clock in honour and memory of the fallen. You are asked to join in reverently in this act of remembrance to those who did not return.

The origin of this ceremony is the period of silent prayer introduced by the B.B.C. during the darker years of World War II. Just prior to the news bulletin at 9 o’clock each night, listeners were invited “to join in the period of Silent Prayer during the chiming of Big Ben.” The New Zealand Broadcasting Service adopted the idea and the invitation to its listeners was also made each night at 9 p.m. Since the war this period of silent prayer is still observed on Sunday nights.

The Dominion Executive Committee of the R.S.A. follows the same custom, and the period of silent prayer at its meetings is always recorded in the minutes.

The Tin Hat Club at its tattoos holds a 9 p.m. ceremony similar to that arranged for this concert.

ANNE CLIFFORD
One of our lovely songbirds – well known to Napier and Hawke’s Bay audiences – to whom we will be forever grateful. She’s a treat to listen to. Thanks, Anne.

LESLEY MURPHY
Another of our talented songsters, whose rendition of “Goodnight My Someone” will capture your hearts. Good for you Lesley!

SOUND:
MAX WEST assisted by RAY SINGLE
Still slapping mikes and wires all over the place, but how we would fade away without them. Grand work Maxie!!

TOM “BLOOMIN’ “TAYLOR
Keeps up our international flavour. He hails from the land of the Canucks. A small parcel, but the blinkin’ goods.

HUG “BLOWHARD” SWEENEY
The guy that Tommy’s looking for. Always making a noise about something. Looks like a crafty wog, too!!

DEREK (BLUEY) known to us as “Mad Carew: BELCHER
Need anything more be said? But watch this boy, he’s going places (we won’t say where?) A veteran of Nelson Tin Hat, and one of the bright lads of our show.

BILL (LOWDOWN) KEMP
Who’s not so low as he sounds – in fact, in the Kiwi Concert Party he hit the tops. Not bad for a basso profundo, eh?

NOEL (BY GAD!!) SIMMONS
Jolly old Indian Armeh, what!! Doing a wonderful job for a first-upper. You’ll be seeing more of him, bai jove!!!

PROPS.:
ED (BLUDGER) DERRY
Who, if he wore a fez and a galabieh – along with that disarming smile, could join the wogs and beat them at their own game. Nice going, son!!

STEVE “CONCUSSIONIST” McCONNELL
How he loves that drum. The busy boy from “way down under,” known from Cairo to the Bluff. One of our best organising boys, and a hot pianist to boot.

BUGLE BAND
Steve McConnell, Hug Sweeney, Noel Simmons, Nolan Rafferty, Jack Butler, Ian Dykes, Lock Ramsay.

JIMMY (KWEIS KATTIR) PAXIE
Not only born, but made for this part!! He’s so well known to audiences in “The Bay” that further description would be superfluous. “A grand little trooper.” Thanks, Jimmy – I mean – “George.”

Finale – Come on, YOU sing too!!!

“GOD SAVE THE QUEEN”

HECTOR NORRIE
The school children’s friend. We in tin Hat could not have been more fortunate in getting the ready assistance of such an accomplished and competent choirmaster as Hec. Who has given many hours of his valuable time and energetic co-operation in training all choral work in the show.

RAY “P.W.” DALTON
As we told you before made his original stage debut in the “Stalag Hot Shots.” No doubt his English accent was inherited through listening to the B.B.C. verboten “snooze” bulletins. He’s back in his element in “The Desert Throng.”

RON “The Voice” PARKER
The only man big enough, loud enough – you judge his looks for yourself – who could fill the bill for that guy everyone loves – the Sergeant Major. You can’t stop this guy – How’re your ears?

DICK WOODS and GORDIE ROBB
Frae Bonnie Scotland – who’d rather forego their “wee droppie” than miss a show. Two of our warblers who have done a grand job for Tin Hat.

BRIEN (CECIL) MILLS
A wonderful man’s man – don’t you think? They sent him up from Nelson, and he’s had a lot of “experience.” We’re darned glad to have him – wouldn’t you be??

BILL “Dumbo” and JACK (“It’s a flamin’ Officer”) DALLIMORE
One a perfect foil for the other. Both have had plenty of experience and – well, we just can’t stop laughing!!!

ERNIE “Maestro” alias “Johann” ROUSE
Seventy-sixth grandchild of the other great “Johann.” Well known musically throughout Hawke’s Bay. Has been untiring in his efforts to match his music to the rather unorthodox demands of the show. We also thank Ernie for the time involved in arranging the music for himself and his very able co-pianist Raymond Ball, of Hastings and their group of assistants.

Personalities

NOLAN “Nogood” alias “The Boss” RAFFERTY
Deserted us for a time to straighten out Christchurch, but came back cracking a whip. Would do well as overseer of a slave camp!! The veteran of 55 jazz concerts here and overseas, his highlight was the presentation of his own band before Her Majesty the Queen. Always to be found selling something in Emerson Street. Where would we be without him??

THE SAPPHIRES
Back with us again after a great effort last year. Always ready to help us out at any time. Napier Tin Hat are proud to have these sons of ex-digs associated with them in this production. A special pat on the back for Max Martin, for the “kweis” front cover.

JOHN COLLIER
Well known in Operatic circles. Always sewing things up to good effect. Many thanks for coming to our rescue so promptly to arrange our stage settings, etc., Johnnie boy!!

LOCK “The Scribe” RAMSAY
Known affectionately like all publicity men as “blabber-mouth” has worked quietly (in between Tin Hat Shows and rehearsals) selling insurance – whacko the government!! – but giving valuable and experienced knowledge to we inexperienced scholars of the pen – did you cop our adverts???

DEREK “Ahmed” BOARDMAN
The only ex Kiwi we know who loves a Parade. Did you see Emerson Street on the night of 14th April??
