HEADQUARTERS, WALLSEND PARK OVAL HIS ground was[...]er to the Wallsend Council and dedicated as a Park. Many notable cricketers have played with the Club and have long since passed away. Success on the ﬁeld in competitions in which the Club has participated have been varied. In the season 1911.12 the Third Grade team was de' feated in the ﬁnal by the Sacred Heart Club. In 1922 the Second Grade team won the Premiership, and were beaten in the ﬁnal of the competition. An amalga' mation of the Wallsend and Maryland Clubs (second grade) .was brought about in 1924 25', and this combinatio[...]sful in winning both Premiership and Final honours. In the same year the Club also won the Premiership and Final in the Fourth Grade. The following year they applied for and were granted a district by the Association. Although the Club did not win any honours as a district it was frequently congratulated by opponents. Many players from places within the district have[...]ng a district, and have rendered valuable services. The Wallsend Council was prevailed upon to lay down a turf wicket in the Wallsend Park. This work was carried out by Mr. B. Corke, in conjunction with the Council‘s Engineer,‘ Mr. W. Cunningham. The Club was congratulated upon the playing qualities of the wicket by the late Dr. E. P. Barbour and many others who have played upon it. The Council: gave every assistance to the Club to maintain the standard of the ground and the wicket. In 1933 the Club launched out in its biggest venture, viz., the engaging of a playing coach for the beneﬁt of the many promising young players available. Those concerned we e heartily congratulated on the success of the venture. The services of Mr. E. Dinan were engaged, and the Club rose from the lo[...]Premiership and Final of the District Competition. In 1934,35 a coach was also engaged. First Mr. E. Dinan. and later Mr. J.

Later the residence of the “Sun“ was transferred to Mr. Tom Abel’s building in Nelson Street, Plattsburg, which building was later acquired by the W. E? P. Corop. Society. Another removal found the “Sun“ housed in Mr. Wicken’s building on the other side of the street and adjacent to the concrete drain. The “Sun" was an excellent sheet and was regarded as one of the best printed provincial papers in' N.S. Wales. It was run on uprtOvdate lines and for some time was a birweekly, but later became a weekly production.

	[...]is is explained by the history of the organisation. While encamped at Rutherford in 1930, Messrs. H. Rundle. S. Prisk and J. Davis arranged a programme for the entertainment of the members of the 35th Battalion. So successful was this programme that the three[...]r tion of similar functions in the civilian sphere. This was carried out and the successes 0f the company need not be elaborated to the citizens of Wallsend. All performances given were for charitable objects and. during the dark days of 193049-32, the Regimental[...]isations whose object was to ‘alleviate distress. The excellent work of the Wallsend Citizens” R[...]from the performances given by this organisation. as were similar bodies in neighbouring towns. The policy of the company was to present the com[...]ling to undertake the organisation of the function. For this the company received a small percentage,[...], and the cost of necessary equipment and costumes. In this way the burden of procuring these necessa[...]locality and charity beneﬁtted as a consequence. Up to November, 1934. the company had raised over £1000 for those in distress, and had travelled 1535' miles in doing so. No payments whatever were made to members, but ev[...]cket expense was met from the funds of the company. No greater payment could possibly be made to the[...]ttendances which were evident at every performance. Wallsend people will well remember the ﬁrst function held in this town, when the doors were closed at 7.20, as the hall could not accommodate any more pat[...]ition, and the successor is elected by the members. This fact is responsible for the harmony which exists in the company which is demo' cratic in the extreme. Those who have produced some of the shows are: Miss Maude Prisk (now Mrs. F. Scott), Mr. H. Rundle. S. P'risk, J. Rees, D. Grant and J. Davis. The current performance is under the direction of Mr. W. R. Solly.
