Gary (Gareth) Golby

Submitted by denis.brock on

I am trying to find out information about my uncle, Gary (Gareth) Golby.

Gary, and his wife Mary, moved to Hong Kong in the early 1950's (1952 ?) where he took up a partnership with the law firm, Johnson Stokes & Masters.  They had a son, John, born in Hong Kong.

I believe that they lived in Kowloon.

They returned to England in the 1960's (1966 ?).

Sadly he passed away many years ago, before I could ask him about his years in Hong Kong.

Any information, and in particular photographs, would be appreciated.

Thank you

Sailors' Home and Seamen's Institute

Submitted by stephenD on

I am writing the 150th anniversary history of the Sailor's Home and Mission to Seafarers in HK, at the behest of the Mission here, and would very much welcome permission to use (and a high res image please) any images of the early mission buidlings. I am particularly interested in finding an image of the premises of the mission from 1910-1933, which were situated at 21 Praya East (post 1922 reclamation 18 Johnson Road). Post 1933 until around the mid-1950s these old Mission premises became a government building partly occupied by the PWD.

Looking for information on mysterious artist "Koo Bon"

Submitted by scwong on

I am wondering if you might be familiar with an artist named “Koo Bon”. He was active in the mid-70s and the company I work for owns a number of paintings by him. We are looking for more information about this artist but keep coming to dead-ends.

Apparently he owned or exhibited in the Country Art Gallery at the mezzanine level of the Mandarin Oriental in the seventies (and maybe later too?), but we have no further record of him, the paintings or the shop.

Would be grateful for any information.

Marksman Unit RHKP 1974 onwards.

Submitted by raycarpenter on

One Sat morning early 1974 in the Officers Mess PTS Wong Chuk Hang I heard loud gun fire. Walking up to the firing range I saw a small unit of specialist shooters going thro their training. As it followed my specialst training in the UK firearms unit I was interested and opened my mouth about certain aspects of their training/shooting that I knew wouldn't work in the real world. Thats when I met Bill Duncanson and the other members of the RHKP Marksman Unit.

Red error messages when you save a page

Submitted by Admin on

Guy sent me an email:

any problem with my post?

http://gwulo.com/node/17087

I got lots of red warnings which I could not understand.

The error messages show:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /nfs/c03/h01/mnt/51424/domains/batgung.com/html/drupaldir/modules/taxonomy/taxonomy.module on line 70.

I have seen those error messages too, but thought they were only shown to me as the administrator. I hadn't realised everyone had to put up with them.
