A-Z August 2016
A-Z Some Historical Information A Aeolia: (6 Aeolia Street, Randwick) built by Edwin Daintrey (1814-1887), solicitor and botanist, as his home in 1859. It is now part of the Brigidine College, which moved there in December 1902 from its temporary base in Silver Street. Daintrey was a founder member of the NSW Linnean Society (Natural History) in 1874. Amphion: (128 Alison Road, Randwick) see ‘Verona’. Amusu Theatre, Maroubra: (791- 801 Anzac Parade Maroubra Junction). A ‘motion-picture house’ (cinema) which opened in December 1921 and closed on 13th June 1958. The final night was a ‘double feature’ show with “Davy”, starring Harry Secombe in a debut singing role and an American racing car drama “The Devil’s Hairpin” starring Cornel Wilde. The cinema was built and operated by two Americans, Amos Hinton and Arthur Hennessy. As well as showing films, it was also the venue for political rallies, dances and fund raising events for local clubs. The building was demolished and a petrol station was built on the site, which in its turn was demolished in 1979 to make way for apartment buildings. Avonmore Terrace: (26-42 The Avenue, Randwick) was completed in 1889-90 on land purchased in May 1888 from the trustees of St. Judes C/E. Built in the Italianate style, it comprises nine large three-storey terrace houses. The original address was Walsh’s Terrace, John’s Avenue, renamed The Avenue in 1895. The builder and owner, John Walsh (1843-1893) and his family occupied No,5, called ‘Avonmore’, the central and largest residence, the first to be built and which is the focal point of the terrace, having a projecting entrance porch the full height of the building topped with a pediment embellished with the name ‘Avonmore’. -

2011 Football Club Chairman’S Report
MANLY-WARRINGAH RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Premiers. That is all that needs to be said to sum up a magnificent 2011 season. Congratulations to Co-Captains Jamie Lyon and Jason King and all the players and to Des Hasler and all the coaching and support staff. Congratulations also to David Perry and the office staff at Narrabeen for all the behinds the scenes work they do that make it possible for the Football department to be successful. Congratulations and thank you also to the Board of the Sea Eagles, and our co-owners in the Sea Eagles, the Penn family and Quantum, without whom this premiership could not have been achieved. Your Club, the mighty Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles once again stamped itself as the best Rugby League Club in Australia, not only winning its second NRL Premiership in only 4 years, but by becoming the only Club to have won at least 1 Premiership in each of the last 5 decades. Such a long tradition of success is testament to the strength and character of our great Club and our relentless drive for success. Superstar players, even Immortals, have come and gone. Coaches have come and gone. Administrators and Board Members have come and gone, but what always remains is the Manly- Warringah Sea Eagles Club, something much greater than the sum of the individual parts. So we look forward to 2012, with local junior, Life Member and Club legend, Geoff Toovey leading the charge towards another milestone, the first back to back premierships since 1992-93.
