We have recently digitised an early record of the #Newcastle District Baseball Association 1934-1937 and #Stockton #Baseball Club 1949-1961. Below describes the colours for uniforms for the 1935 season - Stockton, Newcastle, Hamilton, Wickham, Co-Op, Waratah, Maitland & Western Suburbs.
A handwritten page from a register. It lists the various club colors for teams in the Newcastle District Baseball Association 1934-1937.

Tonight was out first meeting for the year and our first in person/online hybrid meeting. It was a huge success with members from as far away as Queensland logging in to participate!

Going forward all our monthly meetings will have online attendance as an option.
