You are absolutely right re the Catholic Society. You do have a better
memory than me. However, I can still recall Camilo arriving with his family
to the UK some time after me and meeting them all at Speaker's Corner on one
fine summer's day.

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!

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!
