Induction – Owen #166
This is an induction to which I’ve been looking forward doing from a long time and it is another 2nd generation ceremony. This might be the first induction supervised by a father and a godfather. I’ve known Owen for twenty …

Induction – Norrie #158
I’ve met Norrie a few times over the last couple years, always at a brewery and always in the company of #49. Norrie used to get the Manly Ferry back in the early ‘90s, but moved to Mosman many moons …
