Physical Description
Yellow cotton cloth. Central motif of a green tree within a heavy red circle containing the text 'Senior Citizens Clubs of South Australia' in Hobbytex. Embroidered signatures are worked in red and green stem stitch in a circular fashion around the central motif. Some machine embroidered names. Machine embroidered border around the edge. 7cm hem.
Theme and Purpose
Commemorative. Kingston & District Senior Citizens’ Club. Membership. Could have been created when the Club built their own premises, possibly in the 1970s. The Red Cross initiated seniors’ dinner events. This started the social interaction amongst senior citizens in Kingston. They initially used a caravan clubhouse until the Council approved a purpose-built club building. The cloth is in current and constant use as a tablecloth in the clubrooms.
