CARILLA R.S.L. Sub-branch  

Researched & Compiled by Gordon Freegard 2020

The R.S.L. Sub-branch at Carilla  was formed on Saturday Evening the 10th July 1926. Despite awful weather, bad roads and the inducement to remain home by the fireside, the diggers of the district turned out in great force to listen to a most interesting summary of the work of the R.S.L. delivered by Mr. C. Bader, a member of the executive. After the address the assemblage confirmed a decision made earlier in the evening to form a sub-branch of the R.S.L. It was thereupon duly constituted and made a start. Office-bearers elected were; President, Mr. J. R. Shaw; Vice-Presidents, Messrs. J. Padgett and D. Neaves; Committee; Messrs. Cant. G. Holroyd, and G. Thorley; Honory Secretary, Mr. B. Bevan; Treasurer, Mr. J. Lees.
 

CARILLA HALL  #1
 

The returned soldiers of Carilla are keenly involved in the district's Progress Association, and were instrumental in building an excellent hall, and have the full co-operation of the district. Meetings were held in a room at the rear of the Carilla Hall.

On the 10th February 1929 it was reported that the Carilla sub-branch of the R.S.L. has taken a new lease of life under the presidency of Jim Shaw, with Jock Lees as secretary. Routine order for the next meeting provide for short speeches and long drinks. 

In 1947 the Sub-Branch of the R.S.L. had reformed again and quickly became very active in promoting local sports and games meetings. A Boys Club was created within the R.S.L. group and they performed gymnastics in the Carilla Hall and played cricket at a cricket pitch that was built in a small reserve next to the hall, where the Pickering Brook Heritage Park is situated today.
