The PJS is now considering presenting internationals from time to time, as a result of having recently missed out on some internationals visiting the Eastern states November - The PJS holds a logo competition. The winner is Joyce Van Namen, who wins $25 and a year's membership. Jack Kennedy and Gerry Larsen form the PJS Big Band. Athol Higgins of the Hyde Park Hotel buys a brand new Yamaha piano. December - The newsletter claims "the reputation of the PJS and the Hyde Park as the centre of jazz activity in WA has spread far and wide.
