When I went to St Joseph 50's over the road the tennis was down to 2 courts on the left

We were lucky having those courts so close to school. Played lots of games on them.

Gym is where we learned to play badminton many long years ago.

So sad to see my home town sinking so fast. I can remember the library and I think where was a Scout Den a little farther back, behind the Bowling Green.

Philip Nicol are you on the Runanga Village people page? Good things are happening. Stage one of the domain upgrade will be happening soon.
