Dear Belly,

Did you ever go to the pub opposite Parramatta Station?

Dad used to play snooker there after work (during the 1960s)
- he was rather well known at the pub (for being unbeatable)...

Foxy,
Speaking of the pub at Parramatta opposite the railway station , brings back memories of a snooker & billiard hall that had snooker tables down stairs a the old pinball machines that gave "prizes" for lining up numbers upstairs if I remember right that was at Parra somewhere close to the station but me ole memory is fading a little these days.
There was three blokes that were extremely good there one of which taught me a great deal about the strategy & playing of Pool I was wondering if you can recall this "Hall" it would've been 72-74.
Thanks have a great life from Dave

Dear Dave,

Sorry, I don't recall the Hall.

I was too young.

All I know is of
the pub that my dad used to frequent, opposite
Parramatta Station, on his way home from work.
He was always home late, and mum would be
very cross. But she couldn't stay angry for
very long. Dad worked so very hard in those days,
and playing snooker was one of the things he really
enjoyed, so she couldn't begrduge him that pleasure.

Foxy while I drank at that pub I did not play pool there.
Drank at every pub in town including the old Millers one.
While you would have been too young we hung around the sound lounge a lot.
Pool? we got on the train Friday nights and went to town hall in Sydney, maybe if I played your father I would have been a better player.

Dear Belly,

What I would give to bring back those
'Golden Days!'

"Para-matta-matta-matta - we're out to win,
We are, We Are!"
