Our History
The grounds at our current location of Victoria Road, Yering were formed in 1965 when the members of Camberwell Clay Target Club sought a new location.
The Camberwell Clay Target Club, located on Bulleen Road, held their last shoot on the 3rd of April, 1965 and the first official shoot at the Lilydale Clay Target Club at the current grounds was on the 7th of August, 1965. G.J Jones was the President and W. R Johns the secretary. DTL was the only discipline held at the club around that time.
