Name	Dates	Comments
Anthony Hatfull	1970s	Early 1970`s was one of the best Saturday night/Sunday lunchtime spot`s. Live semi-pro` music,decent bar snacks,and lots of dolly birds in hot pants serving. It might have taken a while to get served,but nobody minded.
Chris Chetland (nee Britton)	1972	I used to be a DJ there, now live in South Africa since 1987.
Nicola Wood	late 1960s / early 1970s	My dad Mick Wood was the bar manager for publican Alfie Parsons. My mum (Denise Joseph) was a bar maid and her short skirts of the 60s definitely helped her get the job!
Lynda McDonald	1973/1974	I was a 19 year old traveling Australian working as a barmaid at this pub in 1973. A colorful clientele for sure. I only had to mention that I needed a winter coat and a rack-full was wheeled in the next day - fresh off the back of a lorry. Hahaha. Sunday sessions complete with great seafood nibbles across the bar. Oh those were the days.
