1890
By 1890 football was extremely popular, and a meeting at Wiltshire’s Albion Hotel, High Street, Avoca resolved to form a club to be known as the Avoca & District Football Club.
A committee was formed and comprised many of the town’s most prominent people.
President: J.O. (Oscar) Wiltshire
Vice Presidents: George Downton, J. Lusby, A. Ebeling.
Secretary: A.F. Paten
Treasurer: George Downton.
Two politicians, J.P. Macpherson MLC, and Robert Bowman MLA, were enticed to become Club Patrons
A membership fee was set at two shillings and six pence, and the club decided to wear skin tight yellow and black Guernseys, which were laced up in the front.
