Photograph - Photographs, Kew Bowling Club: Loose Photographs in Sleeve, 1988-1998
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.

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.

Historic summary of Croydon comprised largely of early and contemporary photographs - Geoff Arnott, John Hutchinson, Les Hutchinson, Marjorie Meeuwsen, Croydon Historical Society Inc.Foreword by Cr. Les Willmott, J.P. - last mayor of the former City of Croydon. Acknowledgments: In the production of any book, many people play a part, be it financially or the giving of time with their knowledge and expertise in specialised areas, which concludes with a quality production - a book that is attractive, informative and accurate. We believe this book fits the description handsomely, and should bring joy and pleasant memories to many former and current residents of Croydon. To people who don't know very much about Croydon, this book will most certainly enlighten them. This has been a team effort, with many people playing important roles. With all this in mind, we would like to thank the following: The Maroondah City Council The Australian National Library Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs Hutchinson Legal of Ringwood Sue Pitt, Alan Bennett and staff of the Croydon Library David and Ron Jewell Andrew Potts Adrian Arnott Elsie Bolwell Lyn Lynch Nick Anchen Cr Les Wilmott JP The Neville Family Bounty Print Dawn Gubb Photo courtesy of Leader Newspaper Press on pages 87, 90 and 113 -
