Friday, 21 September 2018 BRINGING THE BEST SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT TO GEELONG Geelong is one of Australia’s great sporting cities and a re-elected Andrews Labor Government will make sure locals can see the best international sports, concerts and events in their own backyard by completing the fifth and final stage of the Kardinia Park redevelopment. The $102 million project will increase the stadium capacity to 40,000 and complete the stadium bowl, with a new 14,000 capacity two-tier northern stand to replace the ageing Ford Stand and Ablett Terrace. It will also include a new northern entry plaza for patrons entering from Geelong city centre and the South Geelong train station. Geelong will be able to host more domestic and international cricket with the existing Geelong Cricket Club rooms at the stadium to be replaced and new cricket facilities to be built as part of the redevelopment. The project will include new media and loading facilities with better pitch access to allow the delivery of drop-in pitches to enable Kardinia Park to host international and top tier cricket. The improved pitch access will also allow the stadium to host major concerts and family events, such as Disney on Ice or Monster Truck Jams. Women’s sport will be boosted with the redevelopment to include new unisex changerooms and facilities that will allow more professional women’s sport to be played at the stadium. Geelong’s rich sporting history will also be celebrated with a new sports museum, the Geelong Sports Discovery Centre, to be built at Kardinia Park as part of the project. Geelong Football Club Vice President Bob Gartland will loan his collection of thousands of pieces of memorabilia to the new museum, including what’s believed to be the oldest football club membership card in the world, dating back to 1864. The project will create around 300 jobs. Work will start after the ICC World T20 matches being held at Kardinia Park in 2020, with construction to finish in 2022. Quote attributable to Premier Daniel Andrews “Only Labor will finish transforming Kardinia Park from an ageing footy ground into the best regional sporting stadium in Australia, delivering jobs, tourism and top-level sports and events to Geelong.” Quote attributable to Minister for Sport John Eren “This will boost women’s sport and give local families access to world class sports and entertainment in their own backyard.” Quote attributable to Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville “The new Geelong Sports Discovery Centre will increase tourism and attract thousands of visitors to Kardinia Park to see this amazing collection of Geelong Football Club memorabilia.” Quote attributable to Member for Geelong Christine Couzens “Local families will no longer have to travel to Melbourne to see big concerts and sporting events – they’ll be able to see them right here in Geelong. This is great news for jobs, liveability and our economic prosperity.” Media contact: Chris Piper 0458 715 135 | [email protected] .

To use another overblown metaphor, clubs are also the essential fabric out of which the rich, variegated tapestry of the game’s history has been woven.

1 Old Geelong Football Club Year Notes: 1966 DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
Old Geelong Football Club Year Notes: 1966 DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT (As with previous Year Notes, the various items are extracted, often haphazardly, from various sources: they do not purport be a general narrative about the year. For almost the first time a number of football-related photos have made their way into the Club’s archives. It is not known who took any of them from 1966. Items in italics are generally editorial comment or opinion from Peter Lemon who put these notes together and who took the post-1966 photos.) Photo above: In the days preceding mega-banners, Tony Poolman leads Captain John Lewisohn onto the Harry Trott Oval, Albert Park for the D Section Grand Final on 10 September, 1966. ====================================================================== Annual General Meeting (Held 28 February) * There were 45 people at the AGM. (In 2013 there were 16.) * Election of Office Bearers Prefacing the election, the President Garth Manton stated (perhaps from bitter experience) that when voting, members should consider carefully the jobs to be done, and the reliability and availability of candidates. The following were elected: President: Garth Manton Secretary: Tom Laycock Treasurer: John McInnes Vice-Presidents: Tony Mollard, Deryk Stephens Hon. Vice-President: Nugget Stephens 1 Committee: Jim. Anderson, Alby Carnegie, Brian Wawn, Michael Tinsley, Tim Cox, Michael Fraser (until moved interstate mid-season, when Ted Gray was appointed in his stead.) The following were the unsuccessful candidates: P. King, R. Forsyth, W. Tunbridge, T. Brown, P. Lemon. * Subscriptions were set as: $4 Ordinary, $2 First-Year members. * Notes in the AGM minutes included the following statements attributed to the President: “The Committee, over the past month or so, have had a very difficult time.

Old Geelong Football Club Year History: 1962 Geelong College: the First Mention
Old Geelong Football Club Year History: 1962 Geelong College: the first mention We have previously commented on the almost complete lack of photos from the Club’s first nine years (there is just one from 1955, and just one from 1956). So at the end of these notes we are going to reproduce a number which have been found from 1962, taken at the Eltham Barbeque early in the season. They are scanned from Kodak transparencies (slides) and we have no idea who took them – though we suspect he or she did not go on to make a living from photography. But at least they are there. C Section: Finished 9th. Relegated Won three games – including two of the first four – and lost 15, including five by less than two goals. (One version says we won four games; perhaps we should go with that.) President: Garth Manton (Garth had been connected with the Club since its start in 1954 - his name is mentioned in a number of the Year Histories already posted on the Club’s Website: this photo to the right was taken later, in 1966.) Secretary: Tony Mollard (Assistant: Peter Patterson) Treasurer: Deryk Stephens Vice-Presidents: Keith Jackson, Nugget Stephens Committee: Jerry Rasmussen, Rob Happell, John Stephen, Tony Poolman, Brian Keddie, Jamie Kinnear, Tony Blazey Captain Firsts: John Stephen Vice-Captain (elected by players): Brian Keddie Coach Firsts: Ian Dunkerley (despite his not being available on Tuesday nights) Social Secretary: Neil Kennison ============================================================================ The Annual Meeting on 28 February was attended by between 37 and 40 people, depending on which note you look at.
