If I get the time, I will fill in some gaps re the formation of the Goan Association in the UK. My earliest meeting in this cause was at a Catholic hostel in Manor Park, London, in around mid 1962 or early 1963. I am sure I have a list somewhere of those who attended this meeting. There was already the East African Catholic Society (or Association) in existence and this gave way to the Goan Association later on. I am sure I have some records in my garage of this early stage of development. How quickly Ruby has come along! Cornel
The East African Catholic Society of which, the late Camilo D'Souza and the late Amorito Nazareth, were post holders continued into existence even after the Goan Association was formed. In fact The East African Catholic Society had later donated the alarm system which was fitted at the GOA Club House in Beckenham Kent. I remember attending a couple of dances which took place at a small hall in Oxford Street near Tottenham Court Road! -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes.
