O.F.M. was the ORDNANCE FACTORY MARIBYRNONG. Up to the end of June 1943 and at a time when the wages were about £5 ($10) to £6 ($12) per week Australia had spent £1,106,000,000 (£156 per head) on the war effort. A lot of the money was spent at home in making war necessities such as armaments, munitions, boots, clothing, and in providing special training. Significant increases in numbers occurred in the personnel employed in the fighting services, and also in the work force involved in the war effort. During the financial year 1942-1943 the war cost Australia £561,743,000 (over a billion dollars), while the Income Tax raised from individuals totalled only 16.5% of this amount. To finance the war the Australian government had previously borrowed money from the public, and from institutions such as the savings banks, friendly societies, and life assurance societies, by running three successfully subscribed Liberty Loans. The institutions had contributed considerably more money to these Liberty Loans than the public, however it can be argued that the public members of these institutions had also contributed some money indirectly. The 4th Liberty Loan which opened on 5 October 1943 and closed on 9 November 1943 was intended to raise £125,000,000, with the government aiming for 750,000 subscribers. Bonds costing £10 each could be bought on a time payment scheme. A total of £126,408,000 was raised at two different interest rates and maturity dates, however the number of subscribers had only reached 567,533. Some newspaper reports of the time indicate that the low number of subscribers was a partial failure of the loan, because spare money in the community could lead to inflation at a time when goods were in short supply. The government set target quotas on how much money should ideally be raised in a particular district, and how many subscribers should ideally take part. Often these quotas proved to be excessive. The Special Red Pennant Award as given to the No 1 FORGE O.F.M. was normally for achieving the highest per capita contribution within each particular group. What is unknown at this stage is what other entities were in the same group, or how large the group was. There were other variations of the awards such as those given to country districts, where a star was placed on the left hand corner of the pennant if the money quota was reached, while two or three stars indicated that the quota was doubled or tripled. A bar was also included on the pennant if the quota of subscribers was achieved, while two bars indicated double the quota of subscribers. The above information was sourced from Trove newspaper articles at: (1) http://nla.gov.au.nla.news-article70439716, (2) http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article141292541, (3) http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11797265, (4) http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article11788072, and from (5) http://static.awm.gov.au/images/collection/pdf/RCDIG1070158--1-.PDF (see page 580).This framed award has significance in that it serves as a historic reminder that the No 1 Forge O.F.M. and the Ordnance Factory Maribyrnong once existed within the Shire of Braybrook, and later the City of Sunshine, and that it was involved in the manufacture of ordnance for World War 2. It also serves as a historic reminder that it costs a huge amount of money for a country to be involved in a major war, and that a big contribution is required from the public to raise money and to produce goods for the war effort.Permanently sealed brown stained wood frame with a glass face. Enclosed behind the glossy glass is a triangular shaped pennant made of red felt material. The red colour appears to be somewhat faded. The inscriptions and markings on the pennant are in blue, gold, and white coloured inks.The AUSTRALIAN COAT OF ARMS diagram plus the following writing: SPECIAL AWARD / 4th LIBERTY LOAN / Oct.-Nov. 1943 / No 1 FORGE O.F.M.4th liberty loan, special award, ordnance factory maribyrnong, no 1 forge o.f.m., oct - nov 1943, red pennant

The Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club was a key part of Sunshine’s community sporting life, founded to give local women their own space in the traditionally male-dominated world of bowls. It operated alongside the Sunshine Bowling Club and other local associations, reflecting the growth of women’s sport in Victoria during the mid‑20th century. The club was successful in winning many pennants throughout the years. The club was formed in 1926 and folded in the early 1990's, and these pennants were donated alongside with many of the club's business records to the Sunshine and District Historical Society.Collection of pennants won by the Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club1735.01 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Sectional Winners Division B1 1987 - 88 Pennant.jpg 1735.02 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Sectional Winners Division B1 1985 - 86 Pennant.jpg 1735.03 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 4 1987 - 88 Pennant.jpg 1735.04 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 5 1987 - 88 Pennant.jpg 1735.05 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Runner Up Division 5 1987 - 88 Pennant.jpg 1735.06 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 6 1984 - 85 Pennant.jpg 1735.07 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Runner Up Division 5 1984 - 85 Pennant.jpg 1735.08 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division B7 1978 - 79 Pennant.jpg 1735.09 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division B1 1978 - 79 Pennant.jpg 1735.10 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Runners Up B1 Division 1978 - 79 Pennant.jpg 1735.11 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 8 1981 - 82 Pennant.jpg 1735.12 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division C2 1982 - 83 Pennant.jpg 1735.13 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 2 1981 - 82 Pennant.jpg 1735.14 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division C1 1957 - 58 Pennant.jpg 1735.15 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division D1 1960 - 61 Pennant.jpg 1735.16 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 7 1953 - 54 Pennant.jpg 1735.17 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division 3 1954 - 55 Pennant.jpg 1735.18 - Sunshine Ladies Bowling Club - Section Winner Division B3 1955 - 56 Pennant.jpg sunshine ladies bowling club, lawn bowls
