How It All Came About

The Australian Rugby Union was contacted and we were informed that we would have to come up with 15 interested persons to form a club. We looked around the bar at the local golf club and concluded that this would be easy, subsequently a group of motley looking men fell in to line and formed the Vincentia Van Goghs Rugby Union Football Club.
The choice of name came after several rounds and much discussion, name s like the Husky Hammerheads, Bay and Basin Bulls were thrown around when the newly formed committee decided that as we were representing the Vincentia area a name consistent with the area was most appropriate. Someone I believe a school teacher said ‘the Vincentia Van Goghs’. The name seemed to roll off the tongue so easily it was unanimously accepted with the added line ‘We Will Make Rugby An Artform’. The club was born.
Come and see the Van Goghs play at Van Gogh Park behind the Bay and Basin Leisure Centre on Saturdays.
