Any one heard of Saint Clair....?
35 years ago I learnt how to roller skate there....

is that the joint on woodville road?

Yes, originally there was a St Clair Estate there and the old house was still occupied by the family in one corner of the whole block comprising Woodville High. Later they moved out and the building had some administrative function.

Prior to that hall referred to being built on the rest of the estate - the block next nearer the railway station from the school, the practice Hockey fields and secondary football facilitties were over there. The main footy oval fronted Leslie street on the Woodville Rd corner and the main Hockey fields ran along ?Actil Avenue I think it was at the back of the school.

Yeh Dogger my old man was either on the board there in the early stages or helped in the foundation of the place.

I remember they had tennis on the basketball courts at one stage.

That reminds me, anyone remember Roselands, indoor tennis centre?
