Photograph - Bowling at Auburn Heights' Recreation Club Opening, 1906
Sir John Madden, Chief Justice of Victoria, opened the Auburn Heights Recreation Club in Barkers Road in December 1904. Two years later the greens were improved and a new croquet lawn established. In September 1906, a ceremony was held to open these and also the new pavilion designed by Harry Tompkins. Ninety-two years later, following the amalgamation of Auburn Heights and the Kew Bowling Club in 1998, it was renamed the Kew Heights Sports Club. In 2012, the amalgamated Club was renamed the MCC Sports Club.An early, rare photograph of a significant sporting institution in Kew.1/4 plate glass negative (and accompanying photographic print) of bowling at Auburn Heights Recreation Club opening in 1906.

Photograph - Framed Photographs, Auburn Heights Recreation Club Honour Boards, c.2000
Sports Clubs in Kew in the final decades of the 19th century and in the early 20th century were often umbrella organisations with facilities for a number of sports. Typically in Kew, this included teams in lawn bowls, tennis and croquet. The Kew Bowling Club was formed in 1880 while the privately owned Auburn Heights Recreation Club was opened in 1904. By 1998, the two Clubs decided to amalgamate at the Auburn Heights site in Barkers Road, forming the Kew Heights Sports Club. The combined club was itself taken over by the Melbourne Cricket Club in 2012 becoming MCC Kew Sports Club. In 2017 MCC Kew closed and its landholding was subsequently sold to Carey Baptist Grammar School. Both the Kew and Auburn Heights Clubs assembled important collections. These historically significant and large collections were donated to the Society in 2020. The collections include manuscripts, pictures, trophies, plans, honour boards etc. References Barnard FGA 1910, 'Sports and Pastimes' in Jubilee History of Kew Victoria: Its origin & progress 1803-1910. Chapman J & C 1999, The history of the Auburn Heights Recreation Club, 1904 to 1908. Reeve S 2012, City of Boroondara: Thematic Environmental History, p.216.The combined collections of the four sporting clubs making up the collection number hundreds of items that are historically significant locally. They are also significant to the sporting history of the greater Melbourne area and to the sports of lawn bowls and tennis in Australia in the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection illuminates two of the Victorian historic themes - 'Building community life' through forming community organisations and 'Shaping cultural and creative life' by participating in sport and recreation.Framed and glazed photograph of the fifteen honour boards of the Auburn Heights Recreation Club including those for bowling, tennis and croquet. Three of the boards are preserved in the Kew Historical Society collection. auburn heights ladies' bowling club - barkers road - kew (vic), honour boards, auburn heights men's bowling club - barkers road - kew (vic), auburn heights croquet club - barkers road - kew (vic), auburne heights recreation club - barkers road - kew (vic), auburn heights tennis club - barkers road - kew (vic) -
