Behind the squash courts was the place used by the Wormse family -the window displays for shopping centre come from there.

We called these old style houses "The Wooden Houses" they were used to house the contractors families. Can't remember the name of the contracting firm.Talking about the Wormse"s whatever happened to Jennifer ?

hey are so dinky, I want one. Thank you Mike, 24/12 feels like the one I visited all those years ago.
There is a corrugated house similar to these in Simonstown main road, I almost rented once. Some years ago it was painted white with blue dots.

There is a fairly large wooden house jammed in behind the squash court, it seems bigger than the normal houses, but is currently being used as a hall for the Volleyball club ( I think)... must take a snap sometime.....Is this perhaps the house?

That wooden house jammed behind the squash court at one time was used as the Youth Club.

Hi Michael

Is the log cabin still by the river at the back of the golf course. Many a good time was had there.

And here is two snaps of the converted wooden house structure behind the squash courts this morning. I think that it's now part of the Volleyball club.... ???
