Annual Boxing Day bowls match 1962, held at the HK Electric senior staff quarters at Cavendish Heights in Jardine's Lookout. The annual match between HK Electric expat and local staff was originally held at the Indian Recreation Club in Sookunpoo. My Dad, David Bottomley, is seated second from right in the front row.

Woah.Lawn Bowls, HK Electic…
Woah.
Lawn Bowls, HK Electic, I.R.C. That intersection means a near 100% chance a relation of mine would be in it. In fact I think my grandfather is there - sat down 4th from left - Mohammed I. Razack.
Thanks Rob! Any more photos?
Lawn Bowls, HK Electric
You're welcome David. Great that you can recognise your grandfather here. I do have another one of these from 1963, so will try and upload that in the next few days. I'll also post the names of the people I do recognise in due course.
HK Electric bowls
My father had a good friend called Phil Williams who worked for HK Electric around that time. Not sure if he is in the photo.
Phil Williams
I remember Phil "Bungy" Williams (1918-1988), his wife June (nee Winterton) and their three children Simon, Sarah and Peter. Simon was my age. They lived three floors above us at Cavendish. As far as I can tell Phil Williams is not in this photo. I don't know if he was a bowler or not. They left HK around 1967 I think.
