Historical information

In 1998, Arthritis Victoria (AV) conducted a Half-Day Seminar for Sports & Arts Groups. The seminar, which was sponsored by the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth), was held at AV's headquarters in Elsternwick. Attending were representatives from Table Tennis Victoria, Badminton Victoria, the Victorian Croquet Association, the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria, and VicHealth. This photo depicts AV's Exercise Facilitator, Domenic Trimboli, leading participants in some gentle Stretch Break exercises during the event. A slightly cropped version of this photo appears on page 17 of the Vol 11 Issue 4, Summer 1998 edition of the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's quarterly magazine, Arthritis Update. It is captioned: "Arthritis Victoria invited our "cluster" of sport and arts groups sponsored by VicHealth, to a half day seminar recently. It was a great opportunity to share information and find ways to work more closely. Domenic Trimboli [2nd from left], Arthritis Victoria's exercise facilitator, kept us alert with a stretch break. Domenic has been in demand with our sports groups, taking "warm-up" sessions at club events and coaching seminars." Also pictured (facing the camera) are Graham Lockwood from Table Tennis Victoria and Ann West from Badminton Victoria.
