It is over 120 years since Madame Bergman Österberg introduced netball at her college in Dartford, Kent. The Bergman Österberg Union (BÖU) is endeavouring to trace students and staff members who attended the college before its closure in 1986. Did you train or teach at Dartford and enjoy playing and teaching netball? If so, why not join the Bergman Österberg Union? The BÖU has an amazing archive stored at the Dartford campus (which also houses the Kent Netball archive) and would love to hear from you, if you are not on their database.
