Down memory lane

I recall watching a movie there in the early '60s but later roller skating then indoor cricket.

Was so great working and having so many laughs with the Champion man John Nutting (Nuts).

I remember going on a bus to the Picture Theatre when Friend Street was still gravel, old Poke Hills used to walk around with a torch telling everyone to keep quiet.

- Steve

U15 or U16 Cricket the " Dream Team " unbeaten for the whole roster...

Campbell's picture theatre! Every Saturday afternoon matinee.

- Maureen

Loved indoor cricket in there. I have a photo somewhere of our kid's team and trophies.

- Mark

Every Saturday Campbell pictures. Remember one film on west American people go into forests to fight and communicate by shrill whistling. The next day in the bush at George Town all you could hear was whistling.

- Joe

We had 65 teams playing indoor cricket, soccer, netball, and Volleyball until an electrical fault caused it to burn down unfortunately it was so popular and many nights having a beer or 2 afterward.

Saturday afternoon matinee 6d (5c)I believe. Tarzan was a regular film.

The best part shilling to get in!

I remember Mrs. Campbell collecting tickets and selling sweets and remember the lion roaring I the Metro Goldwyn Mayer add. Also Eric and may Morley with their torches making sure everyone was quiet and finding the Jaffa rollers at the top end of the theatre. Also later playing indoor cricket there. Great memories

Indoor netball with my school team. Playing against some older ladies.

My dad used to run the indoor cricket center wasn’t just for cricket, netball was played in there too, always said the G & T was named after his children!

Roller skating, indoor cricket, model racing cars... it's had quite an eclectic past.

I spent many a day and a dollar at the slot car track that was there and also have vague memories of the picture theatre prior to the slot cars.

My mum worked there as usher Ron would operate the cameras and Mrs. Campbell ticket box and shop they were really nice people I think Mae Mauley worked there as well after mum left old poke Mr hills as he was Named was the usher didn't mind cracking you on the head with his torch either.

I remember it as a roller skating rink and they would have bands play upstairs.
