Eastbourne Looking Back: Pictures from 1963 when Eastbourne hosted the World Netball championships

The pictures have been sent in by Joan Wray who was a student at the then Chelsea College of PE which was on the same site as the present University of Brighton in Meads.

She said: “The College hosted the first World Netball championships in that year and to us as students at that time it was a very special event.

“Now 60 years later the Championships which take place every 4 yrs are taking place in South Africa.

“Little did we realise all those years ago that we were witnessing such an important ongoing event.”
