Who trained in Wool Classing at "The Gordon"?? Established in 1887 as the Gordon Memorial Technical College in Geelong, the institution began as a mechanics institute offering night classes, quickly becoming a premier training centre for the wool, textile, and engineering industries. It officially changed names to the Gordon Institute of Technology in 1921 and became a major TAFE provider in the 1980s. Pictured are Ken Mason, David Wishart and Wesley Pickford at the recent GWSOSA annual get together, being presented with their 50 year Wool Classer registration certificates by Andrew Partridge (AWEX).
