I ...Hi Geoff, Im Norm Bennett and I live in Ceduna. I gather you have an interest in the PIFC. I knew Trevor Gooch and his Dad who both feature in the above photos. Back in the day Postals held cabaret nights at the Torrens Arms Hotel being a friend of Trevors we were part of a group of regular attendees. They were good nights but as a two pot drunk my (now) wife often drove me home. <br />Now comes the shot in the dark. A bloke named Andy (in the pictures) was a bit of a whizz with song writing and a ukelele. Is there any chance someone may have the words to the one of his songs called, An then a dirty big ruckman knocked me down. regards, Normcedunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311301964180285266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4473676857916103027.post-69645710579194412152021-04-17T16:27:32.438+09:302021-04-17T16:27:32.438+09:30I Need Megan to contact me re Frank Handing Art Co...I Need Megan to contact me re Frank Handing Art Collection and a visit planned for June 2021 for 60 visitors<br />Keith Taylor 0408006505Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086695299276656962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4473676857916103027.post-10721651856459091932020-11-08T16:49:14.920+10:302020-11-08T16:49:14.920+10:30Hi Sue, Thanks for this.Could you please contact m...Hi Sue, Thanks for this.Could you please contact me on 0417867476 and I will give you Robin's phone number.

The club eventually just disbanded or amalgamated into some other competition. I am not sure. I still talk to Dean wood on the phone occasionally and a couple of other giys have been on touch here as well.Yes Johnny Page was a very good player. I think he had another stint with North Adelaide after he left Postels.We had a lot of good players and manyb could have played in the SANFL in my opinion. They were good days.All the best to you too and I hope you are well considering the current situation we find ourselves in.
