There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

The chap on the left has DG on his lapel as does the guy right of centre who is looking up at the microphone.
The unidentified family member is the guy with his hand raised, he has HG on his lapel and the two people on the extreme right have different letters on theirs (The chap on the very right hand side seems to have the letters IS.)
We have a couple of other pictures of the family member wearing the uniform but this one shows the greatest detail of the uniform

DG is an unusual abbreviation to use on any uniform because of the Dragoon Guards, but then, HG could stand for Horse Guards (though that is not a common abbreviation the DG). Could this be a guards veteran society?

I was (until recently serving) in the Royal Dragoon Guards and have a little knowledge of historical stuff). I don't think this is military uniform, as there appears to be no rankinsignia. Futhermore, I don't recognise the badge as a cavalry unit's (present or last century).
Hope this helps(!)
(Looks like railways workers having fun on the radio to me!)
Badges are different. It is possible they are merchant seamen radio operators hence the microphone although they would have used Morse at the time. Definitely not military or postmen.
I think they are a choir or even bell ringers. Diocesan Guild of bell ringers (DG) founded in 1887.The vase in the middle looks like a prize,maybe a works choir but I will carry on looking.
