Dave Large and Shirley Gosnell enjoyed a farewell party at Wanganui RSA last night with good friends and live band Legal Tender from Waikanae providing some upbeat sounds.

The two have worked together for the past 11 years and Mrs Gosnell thinks she may have held the office administration role for about 14 years.

"We have always worked well together," said retiring manager Mr Large. "We have both learned to expect the unexpected and accept that things can change in the course of each day."

Mrs Gosnell said: "He would often say to me that it gets late early when working at the RSA because it was sometimes afternoon before we got time for our regular work." Pat Large and Neville Gosnell said they were looking forward to having their spouses around more often.

The Larges live at Taihape where Mr Large will be doing house renovations.
