MEMBERS STATEMENT

‘ELWOOD CROQUET CLUB’.

Tuesday, 3 May 2022.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (14:03):

Elwood Croquet Club and its 60 members recently celebrated its 95th birthday.

The event was an opportunity to acknowledge the club’s founding women and the hurdles they overcame, Mrs Robinson, a former St Kilda mayor, and the way she fought for its establishment.

When she moved that council expand the club a fellow councillor outrageously alleged that the ladies had got around councillors.

Congratulations to the club on the milestone.
