Hi David,
My late husband Tony Hobbs was Manager in charge at Bradfield Park from late 1969, but you may have left by then.
Also glad you stayed on in Australia even though your Dad was miserable to begin with (Heathcote Rd. post) Did he settle later?
Bradfield Park closed in August 1971.

Sorry David it was early 1971 or very late 1970 we went to Bradfield Park Hostel so you would have been long gone. Smile

Ok thanks for that Pelley.Tony would have known her then,I don't remember her though. I should PM you with a few snippets of news re. managers.
I always look to see if your name is there when I log in, makes me feel as though someone we knew is there and that's good. Cool
