LVCH (formerly Yallourn Hospital) Life Governor - presented to Jim Hill 26.6.1963

Betty Stewart in front of Yallourn Hotel - circa 1955

This 'pony' sized beer glass with the "Yallourn Hotel" monogram etched into it has another more interesting side to it. The initials "G.D.B." that's also etched into the glass stands for George Dixon Brown, the original licensee of the hotel. Those that don't remember George would probably remember or heard of "Ma Brown", George's wife who took over the license of the hotel after George died. It took me some time to find out what the initials "G.D.B." stood for but thanks must go to Pat Widdows for helping out in identifying it.

R.A.A.F. DOWN YALLOURN
In splendid weather conditions last Sunday, Yallourn were hosts to the R.A.A.F. side. The visitors, now on top of the ladder, proved too strong a combination and defeated Yallourn 4 – 1
At the commencement of the first half, the R.A.A.F. quickly goaled, showing they were to be a side to be reckoned with. Shortly afterwards, McArthur goaled splendidly for Yallourn and levelled the scores. The
R.A.A/F forwards combined well . and managed to force a second goal.

LATROBE VALLEY MEN’S HOCKEY SENIOR GAME
In deplorable, mud conditions, last Sunday afternoon, Yallourn were hosts to St.Patrick’s College,Sale.
The game, lacking speed, resulted in a draw, 2-2, a justified result, considering the bad conditions.
Without any exaggeration, it could be said that the ground was at least two inches under water. As the players left the ground , it was noticed the the only “white man” was the Yallourn goalie.,P.Griffiths-
but this “ serious “ condition was soon very ably remedied with the aid of the large quantities of mud at hand.

YALLOURN DOWN SALE
Yallourn, last Sunday, were opposed to Sale and defeated the visitors, 2 – 1.
This was the last game of the home and away series, and it is probable that Yallourn have missed out on a final four position by a small percentage.
The game commenced hard and fast, and Yallourn were soon into attack with a quick goal. Both teams were combining well, and Sale levelled just before half time.
During the second term, play became very keen, as a win for either side could decide a place in the four.
Yallourn forwards had many tries, and eventually their efforts were rewarded.
