Looks like these photo's were from the NFO X1 visit to OMD in the 80's, I think. NFO would bring a cricket, golf and squash team to compete against local players over a weekend every year or so. Some names I may be able to put to faces are,
Scan 10469, left looks like Jonathan O, scan 10471 second left Phil Ryder,
scan 10474 right Bruce Davies, scan 10475 right Gordon Keyter, NFO (if it is him) as well as his wife feature in a few of the photo's. Also think Vince v/d Bijl features.

Lance looks like Nicky's boys to me as well. Strilli was his wifes name. He did bring cricket,golf and squash teams from the late 70's. His cricket team would include players such as Ali Bacher,Graham Pollock,Norman Barlow, Garth Mc Kenzie (Aus) and Conrad Hunt (W.I.)   Stephen played many times for the O'mund XI against them. Always a great weekend.

Brings back some great memories as I was involved in many of these. They were great weekends for all involved. We had a very strong cricket team through the 70's and 80's - Nicky hated losing and as a result his teams had a good sprinkling of ex international & first class players. There were some tough games with many controversies. Who can remember the Harold Hester toss fiasco, the Terry Holland beamer match, Ray White refusing to walk after being clean bowled and the many umpiring and "walking" controversies? Loved it..!
Here are some more ID's
Scan 10470 - Tony Tillim (sadly passed away - late last year or early this year)
Scan 10471 - Phil Ryder, ? , Strilly, Nicky & Peter Muzzell
Scan 10473 - Keith Roesenbaum (Rosie was ranked in SA top 10 - 15 squash at one stage)
Scan 10474 - Rosie again after duly wiping the floor with yours truly!
Scan 10475 - Sally Hector & Gordon Keyter (Sally was a SA top 10 player & wife of Allan, a legend of these trips who sadly passed away earlier that year)
Scan 10476 - Nicky, Vince vd Bijl, Tony Tillim
Scan 10478 - Jonathan Oppenheimer, Strilly & Peter Muzzell
