In the front and closest to the camera is Jeff (with a J) and, clockwise next is his lady Edwina (Eddie), then Kim, Jane, me, Terry (with a Y), Terri (with an I) and Sandy.
They were all great fun and we enjoyed their company enormously.

Nice jacket, Smithy. I see Capt Hashmi relaxed the dress regs – around ties anyway. I wonder if Capt George Smith would do likewise – perhaps not in those days!
It’s Cunard who relaxed the tie rule for informal nights. Most of us still wear ties but I found that all the ties I brought with me were striped which didnt work with a striped jacket and a striped shirt! I have another striped jacket too! You are right – Captain Smith would not have approved.
