By John Thomson, Croquet Club president
The Lilydale Croquet Club will be turning 130 years old next year, 2024.
Lilydale Croquet Club was established in 1894 in Melba Park in Lilydale, where it is still situated today.
It is the second oldest club in Victoria and the oldest club in its original location.
Unfortunately, in 1990 the clubhouse burnt down and most of the club’s historical memorabilia was either lost or damaged in the fire.
We would love to hear from anybody who might have, or know someone with, information or memorabilia regarding the club to please call the club’s historian Andrew Pawley on 0407 349 136.
