Fitzroy Baseball Juniors Program

Hello,

I am the coordinator of Fitzroy Baseball Club's Junior Program, located at Merri Park on St George's Road, Northcote.

This year we are developing a strong program to engage junior players (boys & girls aged 4-18) in community baseball.  Baseball teaches key life skills and builds confidence and fair play for all in a safe environment.

Regards,

Ethan Epifanio

Collingwood Migrant Story

Popi Sidiropoulos was a Greek migrant who left her family in the old village and started up a new life in Collingwood. She was possibly the first Greek women's hairdresser in Melbourne, setting up a home salon, pictured here in 1957.

Her husband was Theo Sidiropoulos, a politician who served as Mayor of Collingwood and elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the member for Richmond in 1977. He was the first person elected to the state parliament that spoke English as a second language.

Today they are once again together. Rest In Peace Κυρία Popi.
