PLAYERS REVUE 1995

The 1995 Players' Revue featured several acts presented by MGGC members and relations. The album was provided by the Palmer family (Laurie and Rosa).

The photographs capture some of the acts and outfits.

The album itself is titled “Players Revue 1995” and a scan of the cover appears as the first image. Some of the contents have not been scanned where they duplicate other images.

A - The Judges

Judges for the night were Peter Castley, Peter Doherty and Robbie Taylor as they appear (left to right) in attachment number 1. They all appear in a variety of evangelical attire.

Ian’s act as Frank Spencer won the night. In the act he mocked the characters of several club members. Perhaps appropriately, a picture of Queen Elizabeth appears on the wall behind the stage for his act.

Photographs 31 to 34

J - Unidentified Acts

Photograph 35 – Ron Shuard

Photograph 36 – Ron Hendrie and Ron Shuard

Photograph 37 – Ron Williamson and Ron Shuard

Perhaps the Three Ronnies, a take on the Two Ronnies British comedy?

Cub member Terry McCall was known to have taken the photographs titled Judges (three sitting together with Hole in One honour board behind them), Gendarme Duet, and Blues Brothers. It is likely, but not known if he also took the rest of the photographs in the album.

None of the photographs were identified in the album itself. The identification has been completed with the assistance of members Max Hannah, Margaret O’Brien, Peter Doherty, Ian Mears and Mike Petkovich.
