Do you know who's in this photo?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

In the late 1950s, a Christmas play was put on at Christchurch Hospital, when the chapel was very much part of hospital life.

Alison Whitelaw (née Craw) has shared this lovely photo. Can anyone identify any more of the cast?

Identified so far:
Barby Barclay (née Rix-Trott) is a shepherd on the left - with staff and bare shoulder.
Jenny P. Smith is below Barby.
Alison Whitelaw (née Craw) is below Jenny.
Robin Cormack (Latter) is a Wise Man standing nearest the Altar on the left.
Teresa Donald (O’Donnell) is Mary.
Lynette Weir (Brown) is the Angel on the left, back row.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
