Yea bowls club
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:53): Having identified the need for a green, on 29 October 1898 the Yea bowls committee was formed, land was given by the shire to develop a green and things were off and running. By 1900 the club was well away, with ladies officially being admitted to play by 1919, although they already were. I was disappointed I could not attend the celebratory event for their 125th year, which followed the President’s Cup. The club’s history on their centenary was put together by Anthony McCarthy and Muriel Perry, and that has now been updated accordingly. It is a lot of effort to keep a club going for so long, and I congratulate all for their work.
