Terry played for the club between 1951 and 1961 and has shared these photos with us and this potted history:
The three team photos on chairs were taken at the same time. 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams season 1952/3.
In 1954 and 55 I was doing national service in the RAF.
By 1956 even the 3rds all had the proper kit!
I joined Harwell in late 1951, first played for the club in 52/53 season, as hooker in the 3rds. Last played in 60/61 season, as hooker in the 3rds.
I was team sec for 56/7 season, fixture sec for 57/58 and 58/59, when we got a 4th team out for a few games.
I left Harwell for Dounreay in 1974 from whence I retired in 1993.
