Today, we have a request by Katrina Anderson for information from anyone who might know the background of the Union Club. Her grandfather William Ewing Watt was apparently a member before he died in Durban in 1943. I’d welcome any information about the club or about William, who may have lived at 48 Prince Street Durban and at the Stamford Hill Hotel.
Secondly, I’ve got an evocative contribution from GM Enerson on his memories of many evenings spent hanging around outside Umbilo Drive-Inn. Take a look.

My two brothers, my father and I worked at the Umbilo Drive in during the 60,s.
From selling sweets, popcorn @5cents a packet and tickets to kissing girls in the auditorium.
The break lights of cars were a constant distraction going on and off all the time, mainly the late show.😜
