Showground Conveniences Discussed by Cobram Society
At a Cobram Agricultural Society meeting in Mechanics Hall on Monday night delegates from tennis cricket and football subs agreed to discuss the idea with their committees. They considered elaborate conveniences costing hundreds of pounds but favored smaller scale cooperation due to upcoming commitments and uncertain future building plans. The society would own the land and buildings with first option for clubs to buy if the showgrounds are sold. A future meeting will reassess the proposed home.
