Memorabilia - Pennant, Blackburn & District Night Tennis Assn Premiers Spring 2012, Section 9 Ladies, 2012
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. 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.Navy blue and white printed pennant with a gold fringe. The pennant describes the competition, and in the spaces provided, the winning team has inscribed their team and personal names,BLACKBURN & DISTRICT NIGHT TENNIS ASSN / PREMIERS / SPRING 2012 / SECTION 9 / LADIES 'KEW DELIGHTS' / ANNE WRIGHT, ANNIE RUSSELL, ANDREA MURRAY, SALLY SWINGLER, SANDRA DOWNSkew heights sports club - 397 barkers road - kew (vic), kew heights tennis club - competition trophies -
