The Beginning

The project was successfully launched and the first office bearers were the Mayor, Mr W Gaulton, President, Dr G More Reid and Mr Robert Mitchell, Vice presidents, Mr P Thomson Treasurer and Mr W C. Halford Secretary. Other enthusiasts Messrs Dean, Marsh, Doran, Lewis, McPherson and Holmes comprised the executive committee.
1886-1898 Botanical Gardens
The first green ($ rinks) was laid down at the northern end of the Botanical Gardens (present Pony Club area) at a cost of 100 pounds. It was pegged out by Mr Doran, the Curator, who had the assistance of an expert in Mr Gadd from Bendigo.
A sub-committee, appointed to supervise the construction of the green consisted of Messrs Gaulton, Roberts, Thomson, Mitchell and Halford. More ...
