Hi Frederick ! Thanks very much for giving us a taste of nostalgia and sending us down memory lane. However, I have added some dates on Tanganyika and Zanzibar which may be of interest to other readers.
1919 - The Goan Institute in Dar es Salaam takes shape 1956 - The Goan School opens in Changombe on the outskirts of the city 1956- The Goan Community Club is formed in the southern Tanzanian town of Iringa- my birthplace 1958 - Goan club formed in Morogoro - near Dar Es Salaam 1959/1960- The Goan Institute in Dar moves into a new building opened by Tanganyika's last Governor, Sir Richard Turnbull. Designed by the distinguished goan architect, Tony Almeida who also designed the Goan School, the building incorporated a unique open "sunken" dance floor in addition to the main dance hall. December 10, 1963- The Sultanate of Zanzibar gets "sham" independence from Britain after a political party that did not win the elections "grabs" political power. December 12, 1963- Kenya celebrates independence January 12, 1964 - an armed Revolution in Zanzibar and Pemba brings the winning Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) to power. April 26, 1964 - The Spice Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba merge with Tanganyika to form a Union called Tanzania Unfortunately, I do not know when the goan clubs in Tanga, Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza and Zanzibar were formed, and I hope some other goanetters from Tanzania can fill in those dates. rgds.
