There will be lunch afterwards, for the non golfers we encourage you to attend lunch. Cost for the day is $90 golf and lunch or $30 lunch only. You can RSVP here or via email which will be sent out soon. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Our annual catch up with past players and wives

The committee of the footy club both 1927 & 1930, also complete with the fixturing for both of those years. You might also notice that Alan Cheyne's grandfather served on the committee during that time. What a unique piece of our history, again many thanks to Phil O'Rourke for sharing this with us.

Herewith some aerial photos of Eric Raven Reserve (D) dating back to 1942. You will also notice the wickets (E & F) on TH King Oval where many of us played cricket. The photo of the pavilion was taken in 1952, we are unsure what relevance the small storage shed had in those days. Many thanks to Phil O'Rourke for sending these through.

Well, that's another reunion put to bed. What an honor it was to have both Paul Little and James Hird speak to our group. James was sensational with honesty and clarity. I certainly hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did. Your continued support of our club is very much appreciated.

Our winners for the day were Mick Richards, John Reinsma, David Taylor and Ross Sutherland with part time caddy Wayne Stewart.

Next up will be the reunion in November, hope to see you all there.

Who else remembers attending these events such as the progressive dinners, discos and the like. Talk about a very rare piece of memorabilia. Thank you to Tom Burney for providing

Here's some more pics of days gone by, take a look at these young, fresh faces. Two of these pics I recall were taken at a farm located at Underbool, another 2 at a presentation night and another at Caulfield races. Thanks to Helen Stapleton for providing such wonderful memories.

A new book which is due for release soon features all local club jumpers for the past 100 years and wouldnt you know it our jumpers feature prominently on page 1! Wasnt aware that we had a sash in the 1950's

Well, that's another reunion done and dusted for another year. A huge thanks to the committee and to everyone that showed up. Best attendance in 4 years, lots of great stories shared by lifelong friends. Can't wait for the next get together on 27th March 2023 golf day at Keysborough.

Dear all, in just under 7 days the past players and officials reunion will take place. Have you reserved your spot?

1981 VFA Grand Final, some very well known names in both team sheets but check out no.41 for Camberwell, none other than our very own Steve Lee, fond memories of Toorak Park (and the Prahran Barrel)

With the Queens recent passing thought I would share this pic with you in her shaking hands with former player and coach Bob Hodgkin at a game in 1970. I wonder what Bob said to her? Perhaps we'll find out at the reunion in November.

Dear all, This week an email for our annual luncheon has been sent out, if you haven't received it not to worry, all updates on our function will be posted here as well. But just in case you're wondering, its on Friday 25th November at the Glasshouse in Caulfield. This will be a bumper day and one not to be missed.

Dear all, we are trying to locate as many of 1982 grand final team (lost to East Hawthorn) as we can for our forthcoming reunion in November .If we are missing names and you can recall please let us know

A very successful 20th Annual Golf Day held at Keysborough Golf Club was enjoyed by 19 past players, thank you for your continued support. And the winners were...no surprises there!
