I spent some time in the local history section at the library whist researching a property in Hamilton.
I stumbled on an article on the suburb.
(Some history here form LMCC)
https://history.lakemac.com.au/page-...ative&narid=42
There's a connection with the suburb and with that area down along Gordon Avenue
taking in the bus station down to Learmonth Park. The sandstone columns commemorating or marking
the original Garden Suburb are down at the Pk and are now on the corners of Gordon & Alexander + Gordon & Jenner.
(see Google Maps street view) For some reason (which is where my memory gets hazy) the columns were moved to this new area
from the Lake Macquarie locality.
I can't be sure from the article but I think when they were 1st relocated they both sat either side of Gordon Ave at the Nthn
end; either at Denison or at Tudor St before they were again moved to their current resting place at the Pk.
That's my recollection from reading it 10 or more years ago...
EDIT
After hawks post below, found this map date stamped - 4 Oct 1956!
Check out the bypass, gazetted even back then.

And isn't Marshall St an cluster***k in street planning when you look at it from Grandview to Prospect/Myall

I'll sit back for this one... :popcorn:Quote:

Yep- Sunday 11th at Adamstown Oval.
Why a Sunday, don't they know we have to work Monday
Still very interesting in all the grades:
Firsts:
Mayfield and Dudley can both still win Minor Premiership. (Mayfield would be expected to clinch it))
Suns, Cardiff, New Lambton, Swansea, Bero, Uni all still in with a shout of the final 2 semi finals spots. (Morisset can get the points but goal difference effectively knocks them out)
Reserve Grade
New Lambton, Dudley and Uni all still fighting for Minor premiership.
Mayfield, Cardiff, Swansea, Bero can all make the top 4. (Suns can get the points but goal difference effectively knocks them out)
Thirds
Uni, Dudley and New Lambton can all still get the points for the minor premiership. (Uni would be expected to clinch it)
Beresfield and Suns are the 2 teams in with a shot of the final semi final spot.
Suns can thank the 19 players from Garden Suburb who made up the Thirds/Res teams on Saturday, effectively ending their Thirds/Res hopes of making the finals.Quote:

We can't take much from this season for ourselves, but we'll certainly be looking to end peoples finals chances or form.
yes we can thank you for that but we were very poor that day and deservedly got punished for itQuote:

whats happened to your pitch?
Winter. Summer grass. 8 games a weekend. No roller.Quote:

I believe the top ground (that you warmed up on) is being re-turfed in the off season and being converted into one pitch (running East/West), with plenty of space around all four ends for drills/warm up/training. With the hopeful plan of getting the main pitch re-turfed in the coming year or two.
I should post some photos of last season at this time of the year. It was akin to concrete from goal to goal with no hint of grass other than the corners. While not great, its the best the pitch has been at this time for years.Quote:

The dimensions of the new pitch will be identical to the bottom field. Works will start again on this in 2-3 weeks now the juniors don't need the ground. This pitch will take the load of Lance Yorke and mean we don't have to use the bottom field for pre season. We will be pumping water into it this year to get some grass growing up there. We have sought funding to top dress this ground as its a substantial figure to do the whole field. If we are successful with this, it will be done in the off season as well. The plan is to have movable training goals off the side of the pitch so training doesn't impact on the field.
We also had a soil analysis done on both grounds. Part of the main grounds issue is that is seems to have been top dressed through the middle with sand at some point. Thats why the grass struggles mid season. The sand means the grass doesn't grow properly and is more affected when stressed. We are looking to see if the funds are there to top dress this field in accordance with the remediation in the soil analysis as well as putting in new goals. If we can find the $$$ then the main field should be vastly improved next season and able to cope with the traffic.
We have learnt from the last off season though and the goals will be dismantled and put in the containers so there is no goal mouths on the bottom pitch. We will probably fence off the boxes as well.
We didn't have 14 fresh players, but that's okay. I guess if that's what you're proud of this season, then good luck to you and good luck next year. The season was over for us last weekend and technically still mathematically a possibility of making top 4 in all grades albeit extremely unlikely. All the best mate :thumbsup:Quote:

So uhhh, New Lambton.. How is Alder Park Swimming pool looking for Saturday?
It doesn't generally hold too much water.Quote:

We have had stuff all serious rain though. Very sporadic and light. Nearly all will be good. A couple of unlucky areas (cookers and NewL) will have copped a brief down pour which maybe in trouble.Quote:

We would discuss with Garden Suburb but would look to transfer the match to next Saturday. The desire is to get the match on tomorrow though and we will be working towards that.Quote:

New Lambton facebook has Alder Open for training so that may be a good sign?
New Lambton v Garden Suburb
1sts- 1-0 New Lambton
Reserves- 3-0 New Lambton
3rds- 2-1 New Lambton
was there only 2 games this weekend???
Swansea vs Suns
1st 1-0
res 7-0
3rds 0-3
Very poor form on behalf of the Dudley ressie player degrading someone's family during the game against mayfield today it's all good to have a bit of banter but you cross the line when you have to stoop so low as to bring someone's family into it that's very poor form.
fair enough. Call me a cvnt but not a fking cvntQuote:
