THERE is “open house” every Tuesday evening at the Polynesian Club’s rooms at 248 George Street, Sydney, when visiting and resident Polynesian people are entertained. Visiting service men, especially Fighting Frenchmen from Tahiti and New Caledonia, are given a real Islands welcome. Among recent visitors have been some Norfolk Islanders (Eustace, Don and Henry Adams, Henry Nicholson, Selwyn Buffett, and Charlie Evans); Andre Doucet and Etienne Lentheres (Papeete), Faufau, Temahahe and Tautu (Tahiti). Ray Young (Pit cairn), Lieutenant Jocteur (New Hebrides), Chief Sergeant Sandford (Papeete). This club is noted for its Polynesian dances and songs. The concert party (led by the club president, Len Moran), continues its work for the Army Education Service, and is more and more popular with both troops and camp and commanders.
