Remember the Corporate Lunches?

Three of The1925 Club’s more enthusiastic supporters (Bob Clarke, Nev Hine & George de Jong) are pictured on Fort Denison for Coopers & Lybrand’s 1993 Christmas lunch.

They are joined by Ken Le Quesne (next to Bob) and Coopers & Lybrand’s representative, Ian England (who Bob thinks was a blow-in from the UK).

Nearly sixteen years later, and they haven’t aged a bit. (Stop laughing!)

Any thoughts on what’s going through Bob’s mind? And, does anyone hear from Ken these days?

Bob Clarke recalls, "I believe the occasion was the HO Christmas Party '90 (hosted by GM Ray Morley).

"Alma Raza (with whom Bob is sharing a chair) was Nev Bayliss's secretary, and the location would have been the 9th floor of 130 Phillip Street. The hats were part and parcel of the affair, as was the gift in my hand; we all bought something for our allocated person.

"I certainly wouldn't have plonked myself on Alma's lap uninvited - but that's another story.

"Luckily, Uncle Bernie was watching over me."
