The History of The Wallaby Club 1894 – 1994 (Second Hand Book)

SECOND HAND BOOK

Excerpts from the Preface:

“The plan for this Centenary History was put forward by the Centenary Subcommittee, John Swan, Convenor, Harold Attwood, member and Historian and Geoff Stevens member and Hon. Sec. and accepted by the Committee. . . .

Two earlier histories had been produced. The first by Alfred Hart published in 1944 dealt in some detail with the history of the Club until the presidency of Robert Law in 1922-23. However, some verses from the dinner cards to 1939 are included and the list of members extends to 1944. This history is out of print. The second history published in 1954 was written by J. F. L. Woodburn and gives highlights of the Club, a list of Presidents and an updating of the membership list to the year of publication. This erratic coverage of the earlier years arose from a reticence to give details of important members who were still alive– and many lived long.

Both histories have been reprinted in this centenary production so that a perspective of all ten decades is given.
