Hi Richard.
Sorry for the delay in replying to you. I was only 5 at the hostel so was too young to be in the soccer team. I assume you would have played the matches on that playing field featured on my plan (I couldn't recall that field but someone had mentioned it on another site). I attended Hammondville june 1966 to jan 1967. I should have started in May but apparently I was ill with hepatitus after a major outbreak at Heathcote and East Hills Hostels. I wonder if you remember that?

All the best,
Leigh
Very Happy

Hi Andrew.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We were in hut 21 which was divided into 4 units. Fascinating stuff about the murder news story. It'd be great to have a complete history of Heathcote Rd. Hostel and East Hills in book form including that and the floods in the 1950s, our experiences arriving off the ship, etc. There's such a lot I don't know, like when the hostels were first built.

All the best,
Leigh Very Happy
