Between the 1920’s and 1950’s the YWCA, Blue Triangle and local committee of representatives organised an Inter House Athletics Day for Girls in Geelong and Melbourne. Local Geelong business, such as the surrounding woollen mills, business firms and church clubs would form teams of seven women to compete in a variety of sports such as bowls, basketball, hockey, cricket and soccer. Events such as these were organised to encourage women to participate in competitive sports and network with other women in the workforce.Framed photographFederal Woollen Mills, Interhouse Sports, A Grade 1942 The Lockwood Studios/ Geelongwoollen mills - history woollen mills textile mills - staff sporting teams, classweave industries pty ltd federal woollen mills ltd, sport, woollen mills - history, woollen mills, textile mills - staff, sporting teams
