• Dinner durinfg the 13th International Competiton in Lisbon

  Postcard created from a photograph of Fred Hill at a dinner in Portugal and sent to his wife. Hill refers to his fellow guests, the hot weather and his team of "28 boys." The card carries the words "Portugal 1965"* which is confusing, since the Portugal contest took place in 1964 and 1965 was Glasgow. It also carries a 1964 stamp. The wording and date are in the same handwriting and ink, suggesting an error on the part of Hill.
