Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
Thank you to all the volunteers on Good Friday & throughout the year.

The history of the UNCLE BOBS CLUB dates back to December 1941, when a raffle book was passed around the bar of the Riversdale Hotel in Hawthorn. The proceeds were to benefit the Orthopaedic Section of the Children’s Hospital, at Mt. Eliza. Four gentlemen in the bar that evening were so moved, they decided to form a fund-raising organisation for the hospital.
The Club’s first association with the Good Friday Appeal was in 1948. The Good Friday Appeal holds a special place in the heart of every Uncle Bob. more...
