LIONS ANNUAL DINNER

WAS MORE THAN A FEAST

 

Bill Keenan serenades,

 

Approximately 100 people, including Graeme & Marita Chappel back from Cairns for a few days, attended the Lockington Lions Club Annual Dinner held at the

Lockington Heritage Centre on Sunday, May 24.

The ladies as usual were the hard workers in the kitchen, providing a variety of soups, followed by vegetables to accompany the assortment of yummy family pies, like Rabbit, Chicken, Steak & Kidney, Beef & Mushroom, etc. provided by Pentreath’s, then followed an array of delectable desserts.

 Forget the waist line for a night!

Enjoyable music was supplied by our local Rupe Adams and Kerran Keats of Echuca, with Lions member, Bill Keenan singing a few great songs also.

 Jim and Alison Mitchell were the lucky and well deserved winners of the hamper raffle, which overflowed a wheel barrow, and Colleen Curran won the meat.

 

 

Ian Palmer and Grace McCreadie serve some guests.

LOCKINGTON & DISTRICT LIVING HERITAGE COMPLEX

Website: Heritage Complex Web Site

Hello Everyone!

DOWN MEMORY LANE

 

Readers may remember the initial article written about the Lockington

Universal Store some weeks ago, in which Marie Gordon recalled that the

library agency had been established there when the store was owned by

Cliff and Dorrie Gartside.

 I was doing some sorting of items at the Complex last weekend when I came across a page from the Rochester Irrigator, Wednesday, August 9, 1961.

 It had been given to us some years ago and, just by chance, the very first

item on the page was headed “New Library Opens at Lockington.”

I thought you might like to read about it.

 

“The first library in the Rochester Shire since the shire’s admission into the Echuca Regional Library service opened at Lockington last week.

It will be a deposit library at the store of C. and D. M. Gartside.

Stocked with 700 books, it will rank with Bunnaloo as the largest deposit

library in the service. The initial supply of books was taken to Lockington by the regional librarian (Mr P. Ralph) and members of the library committee.

 

Cr. G. B. Haines reported to the August meeting of the Rochester Shire Council on the above arrangements.”

 

Other interesting items appeared across the page.

An early visit was anticipated from a U.K. delegation led by Sir John Winnifrith, permanent secretary of the United Kingdom Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.

 Its purpose was in relation to the Common Market. It was expected that, on Sunday 13 August, Mr J. E. Green, dairy supervisor, of Rochester, would lead the party on

an inspection of Mr P. Taylor’s Lockington dairy farm.

The district was mourning the loss of a well known and well respected

Lockington community member, Mrs Ellen Park, who had passed away in

Rochester on 13 July.

 

The Lockington Bowling Club Associates had held their annual meeting, the highlight being the president’s presentation of the pennant won in inter-club matches.

 

The president (Miss Seiersen) reported on a successful year and congratulated the ladies on the way they had worked, making particular mention of the secretary

 (Mrs Dwyer).

The Lockington tennis Club had also held its annual meeting, with Mr I. Ham and Mr R. Pledge having succeeded Mr W. Watts and Mr G. Chapman respectively as president and secretary.

The Club sought the support of young people in the forthcoming season and urged

intending members to hand in their names at the earliest.

Lockington footballers ranked second to Mathoura on the Echuca Football

League premiership points list, and there was a quarter by quarter description of the previous Saturday’s play when Mathoura had defeated Lockington; 12 goals 9 points to Lockington’s 6 goals 14 points.

Best players for Lockington were T. Vick, P. Evans, R. Perks, J. Hann, J. Harrison, R. Boysen, P. Taylor and W. Clohesy.

 

The Lockington Advance Association had received a negative response to its request that revenue received from stock yard dues be spent on the

Lockington yards, but the Rochester Shire Council had agreed to connect the water mains in Shakespeare Crescent.

The Association’s requests for street lighting, and the continuation of Clare Crescent to Lucas Crescent with formation and crushed rock had been referred to the shire engineer.

 

A meeting had been convened to discuss re-forming a Lockington branch of the Country Party. An affirmative decision saw the election of Mr G. Haines as president and Mr W. Williams as secretary.

 

G. C. Roe of Lockington advertised a “Big Clearance in Winter Stock”, with

prices ranging from Boys’ School Caps @ 1shilling (10 cents!!)

to Gents’ Pullovers from £2/ 19/ 11 (about $6) to £3/19/11 (about $8).

 

Johns’ Bakery of Lockington solicited “the favour of your recommendation

and patronage”, and Lockington Motors advised readers to take the

opportunity of procuring the Vicon Lely Hay Rakes which were then available.

 For added emphasis, another line read ‘Remember, for the last four seasons, they have not been.

I enjoyed reading about the Lockington of almost fifty years ago.

I hope that you did too.

 

‘Bye until next time, Marg O’Brien.

Josh Felmingham, Jye Kuiper combined well in the backline. Jarrod Monaghan was instrumental in the third quarter passing the ball to Joel who then

Lockington Bamawm United

Under 17’s match report

16/05/09

This week LBU took on North Bendigo at Lockington. LBU got off to a slow start kicking only 2 goals in the first quarter. In the second and third quarters LBU started

playing their own style of footy and went on to kick some goals. LBU had a great last quarter kicking 9 goals and keeping North Bendigo goalless for the game.

 

Jeremy Mundie was best on the ground with lots of run out of defense and

through the cent re. Paddy Gardiner, Brendon Pangrazio and Jesse Collins were strong up forward. Josh Cairns, Marcus Angove and Hayden Chappel ran

the ball off half back and through the centre, while Jarrod Bacon was good in the ruck.

 

Final scores where LBU 16.11 to North Bendigo 3 points.

 

On the weekend LBU played a hard fought match against Colbinabbin.

The first quarter LBU had most of the play and led at quarter time, but

in the second quarter Colbinabbin came back and played good football and LBU had a real match on their hands.

LBU coach Small gave the boys a big rev up at half time and they came out full of run and ready to go in the third quarter. With the help of the wind LBU were able to break away.

 

 Final scores LBU 11;11 to Colbinabbin 7;11
