Great stories here but mainly relating to Mainlanders- I recall when Te Aroha was busy training centre - What has
happened to it now...Recall the likes of Nudger Lipsey, Dave Arnott, Fred Beuguely(?), Bill Hennessy, Frank Cobb,
Jimmy Whitten (owner/trainer)...I think the O'Sullivan family were there for short time...Only one left appears to be
John Revell who I think started out as apprentice to Dave Arnott along with Gary Gladwell.. Wonderful memories
of those old timers and their struggles and their happy days.. As an aside I think John Revell now holds the colours of
Jimmy Whitten...
