Hi Howard, you should contact the beach manager, Harold Ross, by email at : harold.ross@capetown.gov.za. Mr. Ross did say that Fish Hoek benches were liable to be vandalised. Some benchs have lost their plaques, but still "belong" to some-one. Good luck! ~Donald. |

I went to the Primary school from 1955 to 1959 and thence to Rondebosch Prep and High School. From there married and moved to Pretoria. Moved back to Constantia in 1978 and bought a house in Fish Hoek in 2009. Its like moving to a new country. Only difference is everyone speaks English. Ive lost touch completely. |

Lived in the Fish Hoek area for twelve years and loved every moment of it!! I just wanted to say that there's also a 2nd Fish Hoek scout group in thats located next to Paul Greyling School. We do loads of fun activities ie: Fufi slide, climbing wall & paintball range at the Noordhoek fair. We go on two camps, the Breede river camp during the summer and a winter camp and both are LOADS of fun! Thanks that's all from me! |

Hallo... |
|||

My parents were transferred by the S. A. Railways in about 1933 to Fish Hoek. They became very great friends (for life) with the ETHEL NEFDT and her husband. We visited, the widow, ETHEL at her home in Fish Hoek in 1978 and had lunch with her at a small local restaurant in the center of FISH HOEK. I expect that she is dead by now and may be buried in Fish Hoek. Her daughter JOY NEFDT was a well known horse rider in the Cape area winning trophys for her abilities. She evidently married into a very rich family - connected with the Cunard Steamship Lines in Cape town is there any way I could get a copy of the newspaper announcement of her funeral.

I lived in FH from '71-'76 and went to both the primary & high schools, left whilst in Std 7 and moved back to UK... fond memories of a wonderful place ! currently living in Sydney. |
|||
|
I was brought up in Fish Hoek and left SA in 1972 to live in the UK. In 2002 I bought a holiday home in Fish Hoek. We return there at least twice a year - I have travelled the world on business and for pleasure but have never come across a place which I love so much as Fish Hoek. It was and still is the best place on earth. |

Hi, I left a message on the guestbook about Raymond and Neville Bateman - would anyone be able to forward this to them? My family stayed at the Bon Esperance when we were in South Africa between 1947 and about 1949. I have several photos from my late mother Betty's albums of the brothers and also their parents, if they are interested. To refresh their memories, my parents were Bill and Betty Paul (Dad was in the Navy) and my late older brother was Gavin Paul. Best wishes,David Paul |

Just checking to see if anyone from STC Simonstown Dockyard are in the area - 1972 / 73. |

I lived in Fishhoek for a year or so as a child where my brothers and I attended Fishhoek Primary School and before relocating to Rhodesia. I am hoping to re-visit next May 2010 and am tremendously looking forward to rekindling some of my precious childhood memories there. I still have relatives lving near to Fishhoek. I now live in Malta, a gem of an island just south of Sicily (Italy) but originally am from England. Can't wait for my visit to Fishhoek! |

FHHS Matric 1982. Lovely to visit Fish Hoek again even in cyberspace! I would love to hear from anyone who knows me. I've been living in the UK for the past 20 years. Spent many many happy summers days as a child on Fish Hoek Beach. My brother, David, used to be the manager of the Spur in Fish Hoek. |
|||
|
We stayed at the Bon Esperance when I was
about 1 year old (in 1948 - 1949). It was owned by the Batemans
and I believe their sons were Raymond and Neville. We came back
to the UK in 1948 but my mum (Betty Paul) kept in touch with Netta
for years. Some day I must go back - I can't remember it but the
rest of the family said it was wonderful! David Paul

in 1969.I have lived there for 50 years as I was transferred around
the country before returning after 5 years.I have since retired and
moved to Hogsback in the Eastern Cape.I really believe that no child
could have been brought up in a better place than Fish Hoek in the Fifty's
and Sixty's. I miss my children,grandchildren,family and friends.Please

anyone plans to visit Hogsback please give me a call. |

I was posted
to Capetown Radio (ZSC/ZSJ) in the 50s. I was only about 18 at that
time and the station at the time was not far from the Kommetje Hotel.
We used to have a station mini bus for transport to Fish Hoek and Simonstown
and the train to Capetown. What a long time ago that now seems but is
still fresh in my memory... The cape is a wonderful place and a superb
climate. When I first came on one of the Union Castle Ships Elvis had
not even made his first record !!! Anyone who can concur with those
far off days is welcome to email me. I live in Somerset in the UK which
is a billion miles away from my memories!!! Robert Woods Former Royal
