On p.45 of Peter Synan's history of Sale (Gippsland's Lucky City) he says they were formed in 1870, with John Campbell of Glencoe inaugural president. Oroiginally met at Greenwattle Racecourse for Caledonian Gatherings, but by 1874 had their own grounds in Sale. Next year a grandstand was added to the grounds. There is a photo on p.46 of a lot of people in kilts watching a man putting shot (is that the right phrase). Cabers can be seen on the ground.
