Malvene Dicker.
In our last issue, we had the photo at right of the delightful Mal Dicker, who, back in 1964 was Mal Cornwell.
When Mal saw the photo, she delved into the old tin trunk and found a bunch of photos that had been taken further back than she would care to admit. She sent a few of them to us and we’ll share them with you.

John, as you can see, is a figure of sartorial elegance, all decked out in his best ‘ralls, just the clobber to impress the girls…….

1966 RAAF Williamtown Hockey Team.
John Broughton gave us the photo below which is of the RAAF Willytown Hockey Team from 1966, but he only knew a few names, one of which was “Stix” Chambers. So! We sent it to Stix to see if he could help and he came up with quite a few more. If you can fill in one or more of the blanks, please let us know.

John says he can recall the rough nature of the game in those days when the ball could be stopped by hand, the “off side” rule still ruled and “sticks” was the cry – not any more. He says, “we played in the local competition at Smith Park in Hamilton North and at other grounds around Newcastle. Lofty Keaton had a terrifying hit and often the ball would zoom past the opposition before they had seen the hit.
We went on many carnivals, one in particular at Tamworth, we drank all the way up in the bus and only stopped for tucker and the occasional laugh at the ground! We played quite well and made the finals as I recall, probably fired up by the flagon of “Jungle juice” we all skulled at half time.
