From: Tommy Barrett in Australia Member and leader in 1970’s
Hi, Stewart It took you long enough to update the web site, it looks great. I
have been checking the site for months looking for news on the good old Y at Cumbernauld. I notice by the picture
that the building has not changed much. It is very late here in Australia so I will send you another e-mail in a few days
with a few questions about how you are etc.
From: Jeanette Bennett in Australia Youth Club member and first netball leader
Hi, Stewart Came across your web page, great to see the netball is still
doing well. Wish you all well.
