St Kilda Sports Club
Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (16:02): The St Kilda Sports Club, formerly known as the St Kilda Bowling Club, is of historical significance as the second-oldest bowling club in Australia. The club has operated continuously on this site from 1865 until the present, and it was an absolute delight just a week ago – and I should say the St Kilda Bowling Club was formed at a meeting on 7 June 1865 – on 7 June of this year, to attend their 160th celebration. It was truly wonderful. They had a welcome to country from the Boonwurrung, and there was some bowling. I was able to keep the ball on the ground for a change, which was certainly an improvement. I must say this club is very welcoming. It is a wonderful meeting place. There are so many beautiful social aspects as well as both pennant and social games, barefoot bowls and more. It is truly a wonderful club, and I wish it 160 more years of success.
