Jack & Tom probably taken at a Badminton presentation night somewhere in the Latrobe Valley. Mavis and Tom played with Yallourn, Yallourn North and finished their years with Tyers and that was where Jack and his wife, Lyla, played. Mavis said "those were the days when we were much younger and very fit. Worked a full day and then off on the very wintery nights and really enjoyed the competitions, many friends were made and of those still living are still friends."
