Volleyball has been played in regional Victoria since the early-1960’s. During those early days, most competitions, like the founders of our great sport, were run by, or in conjunction with, the YMCA. Competitions were running at the Ballarat School of Mines and the YMCA’s of Bendigo, Geelong and Warrnambool. In August 1966, an invitation was extended by the Victorian Amateur Volleyball Association to play in the first State-wide event at Monash University. Geelong and Bendigo accepted the invitation with Melbourne represented by Sisu. For Bendigo players at least, this was the first exposure to ‘international rules’, which prevented upward scoops with open hands, introduced an action called a ‘dig’ and seemed to penalise most overhead actions using the fingers as ‘double hits’! Over the next few years, the sport expanded through the YMCA movement with weekly competitions starting up in Ararat, Warrnambool and Latrobe Valley. The Victorian Regional Council of YMCA’s proposed the first Victorian YMCA Championship in Warrnambool on 30th March 1968 with an entry fee of $4.00 per team. The sport continued to grow with additional regional associations affiliating with the Victorian Amateur Volleyball Association (now VVI) who provided the coaching and refereeing assistance needed to raise the standard of play. In 1970, the YMCA Championships started to give way to the Victorian Country Championships with the first ever event held in Bendigo. In 1973, a re-organisation of the VAVA saw the proposal to create separate Victorian Country and Metropolitan Volleyball Councils. The VCVC was established in 1974 and took over the organisation of the Victorian Country Championships. For the next 10-12 years, the Country Championships grew in stature with the inclusion of two divisions for open men and women and junior divisions for boys and girls. Representative teams successfully contested Australian Country Championships between Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales on several occasions. In October 1985, the VCVC voluntarily wound up the Council and handed the responsibility for the Country Championships back to Volleyball Victoria, who by that time had full-time State Executive and Coaching Directors. Since that time, the Long Weekend in June has continued to be the date of the major annual volleyball event for most regional associations, even though in 1986 the Junior Country Championships were wound up in favour of state and national schools events. A number of regional associations have ceased to exist, as have a number of regional tournaments. Regional leagues were created in both the Gippsland and Central, North-West regions, with Gippsland the only one to survive. Some associations have successfully competed in the State League competitions at various times. Following the experience gained by a number of regional administrators working on the Sydney Olympic Games, a proposal to revamp the Victorian Country Championship was put to VVI in early 2002. Later that year, the Volleyball Victoria Country Championships Commission was formed to implement the recommendations of the review and take control of the event into the future. These championships now provide regional players and officials an opportunity to participate in a consistently well-managed event, using many international protocols and a high standard of presentation. Without doubt, this event now ranks as one of the best volleyball events in Australia. Source: 2022 Country Championship regulations The management of the Country Championships by the Victorian Country Championship Commission certainly achieved the objective of raising the standard of presentation, and delivering a consistently high quality event. However, the demands on Host Associations began to take their toll, with several Associations declining the opportunity to host the event due to the high workload. Similarly, the workload of the volunteer Commissioners also took its toll, with the Commission unable to fill casual vacancies. In 2023, the Commission handed the organisation of the Championships back to VVI, who with paid staff, were better equipped to manage the event.This item contains Correspondence of the Council in 1979 and 1980 and reports from the Australian Volleyball Federation; it include. the following documents: 11171.20a AVF 2nd Oceania Championships New Zealand - National Coach required 1976 11171.20b AVF 2nd Oceania Championships New Zealand - Team Managers required 1976 11171.20c AVF Newsletter 7/75 11171.20d AVF Newsletter 6/75 11171.20e AVF Info sheet 1st Asian Volleyball Championships Aug 1975 11171.20f AVF Statements June 1977 11171.20g AVF Order form for Volleyball publications 11171.20h Notice for Australian Championships Mar-Apr 1975 Albert Park 11171.20i First Asian Volleyball Championships Guidelines 11171.20j AVF By-laws 11171.20k AVF Record Secretary's Report 1976-77 and Executive Meeting Jan 1977 11171.20l AVF Constitution and By-laws 11171.20m AVF Statements 1977 to 1978 11171.20n AVF notices of Rule interpretation from international 11171.20o Executive Meeting Minutes Nov 1979 11171.20p Executive Meeting Minutes June 1980 11171.20q General assembly, Bahrain Report Dec 1979 11171.20r AVF Executive Meeting Feb 1979 11171.20s AVF Executive Meeting March 1979 11171.20t AVF Planning Seminar Feb 1980 11171.20u AVF Discussion Paper by John Ostermweyer, National Executive Director, April 1980 11171.20v Report on australian Tour of Japan National Women's team April 1980 11171.20w Referees Commission Newsletter Jan 1980 11171.20x General Newsletter 1980 11171.20y Bahrain General Assembly Report Dec 1979 11171.20z AVF General Meeting 1980victorian country volleyball council, vcvc, victorian amateur volleyball association, volleyball victoria

The purpose of the excavations was twofold. Firstly, to conduct subsurface testing at Villa Alba to determine the presence, location and depth below ground of archaeological remains relating to a number of landscape features identified in historical plans, photographs, survey field books and aerial photographs. Secondly, soils surrounding the Villa Alba mansion, which have been found to be contaminated with lead will need to be removed up to a depth of up to 0.6 metres. Removal of deposits from the site may have an adverse impact on any archaeological remains existing below the surface. conservation studies, conservation reports, archaeological reports, villa alba museum

This document documents the results of archaeological excavations conducted within the grounds of Villa Alba in Kew, by Maddy Maitri (Maitri Archaeology) in October 2002. The testing was conducted as part of the design development stage of a proposed landscape reconstruction. The broad aim of subsurface testing at Villa Alba was to determine the presence, location and depth below ground of archaeological remains relating to a number of landscape features identified in historical plans, photographs, survey field books and aerial photographs. This information would then be used by the landscape architect in the development of a design which approximates the 1880s/1890s landscape of Villa Alba.villa alba - archaeology, villa alba - garden reconstruction, 2002

Garden Reconstruction (The Flower Garden, South East Shrubbery, The East lawn, The Back or North Garden and Fernery, Privy Fishpond and Conservatory Area, Planting as at 19/7/2001 and later, The Replanting of the Garden, works Awaiting Completion: Stage 2 of Garden Plan) / p2-7.non-fictionVilla Alba’s garden is a reconstruction, but in its design it is as accurate to its late nineteenth century form as the available evidence and Xavier College’s requirements, allowed. This is so, despite the 1890s garden having been progressively destroyed, built on and reformed as a hospital garden during the third quarter of last century. Yet, with its combination of preserved architectural and some archaeological features, and a largely accurate re-created form, Villa Alba’s new garden is a major interpretational component of the property which allows the visitor to comprehend its original design and functions and provides an essential historical context for the house as a major suburban villa.villa alba museum, dr james broadbent, 2005, heritage gardens, garden reconstruction, conservation analysis, conservation report
