Patty Still and Carey Brackenridge hustle and bustle around the Deaf Club’s kitchen, taking care of orders, cooking, and payments. Patty shows the camera one of her meals with a salad, and insists that it’s CHEAP at only $5.00! Richard Hanson and Tom Still both work in the bar. You can see a sign advertising $1 drink cans. The name, ‘Christchurch Deaf Society’ was changed to ‘Deaf Society of Canterbury’ in October 1997.
