  CLUB HISTORIAN 

  At the last Management Committee meeting Rob 

  Pollard was appointed as the Club’s Historian.

  Rob has been asked to research the history of the 

  Dunsborough & Districts Country Club & create a 

  digital documentation that reflects this research.

  Very little of the Club’s history is available in a written 

  form but so much obviously resides in the minds of 

  members who have been part of the development of 

  the Club or have knowledge of such development,

  An authentic historic digital record can be successfully 

  developed with the cooperation of members who may 

  have knowledge of relevant dates, events and the 

  people involved in the evolution of the Club.

  To this end Rob is keen to speak with any members 

  who may have such knowledge & would be prepared to 

  avail themselves for an informal interview with him.

  He is happy to meet with individuals or small groups of 

  members who would feel more comfortable in a small 

  group setting.

  Small groups can provide the opportunity for members 

  to “bounce” facts, incidents, stories etc of one another 

  thus having the potential to more accurately create a 

  reliable historic record.

  Rob is very interested in hearing of any comments that 

  may have impacted on the Club’s development since it 

  was founded, no matter how signif9icant members may 

  feel it to be.

  Photos would also be very valuable for this exercise & 

  will be returned after a copy is made.

  If you are interested in assisting Rob in the 

  development of this historical record please contact 

  him at the Club or phone him on 0409106576.
