Hi my name is Paul Flanagan. I lived at Burwood Hostel from April 1959 until sometime in 1961 with my mother (Clare) and father (Fred), my brother (Tony) and my sister (Lorraine). I was only six at the time and have vague recollections of my time there. I do remember the Brays, again vaguely. I think the mother was Olive.

My name is Patricia Sawers - nee THOMAS. My sisters Elizabeth and Yvonne and parents Norah and Dave, lived at the hostel between 1959 and 1962.
I certainly remember Ian McCarthur, and have photos still of us standing in the grounds.
We moved to NZ in 1962 and have been here ever since.

Hi Patricia, welcome to this forum.
Just a quick query your surname Sawers, I went to School in Christchurch NZ with a chap named Craig Sawers. Per chance are you related?
Cheers, Bob.

Hi Bob

The Sawers are all related somewhere along the line, but my husband Richard doesnt recall a Craig Sawers.

We have lived in Christchurch for 13 years now and before that Dunedin where we moved after the hostel.

Hi Patricia,
This is Sam Gregory. I stumbled across this site by accident and the first page I hit had your above message on it. I don't need to say that I remember you. I will however say that I have never forgotten you. It was GREAT to hear a blast from the past and If you see this perhaps we could correspond regarding old friends and what we have been up to over the last, dare I say, 50 odd years.
Cheers
Sam
