Geskiendenis van Franskraal Rolbalklub
As gevolg van 'n tekort aan ontspanningsgeriewe op Franskraal is in 1981 besluit om 'n robalklub te stig. Onder leiding van mnr Floors Muller, afgetrede bankbestuurder van Swellendam, is vertoe aan die afdelingsraad van Caledon gerig om grond beskikbaar te stel. 'n Bestuurskomitee is gekies met Mnr Muller as voorsitter, Mnr P.L. Zietsman - Ondervoorsitter, die sekretaris Mnr Hannes de Kock en Calla van Dyk, Jurie Otto, Hans Swart en twee dames nl. Helen Marais en Peggie du Toit. Vir sowat 'n jaar lank is daar aan een rolbalperk gebou met hoofsaaklik arbeid en toerusting deur die eerste 15 lede. Die perk is amptelik in gebruik geneem op 2 Oktober 1982 met Mnr A. de Villiers, voorsitter van Caledon se afdelingsraad as eregas. Die perk is vernoem na Floris Muller wat 'n reuse aandeel in die bouwerk van die perk en klubgebou gehad het. Die Klub het oor die jare gegroei tot die vierde grootste klub in die Boland met 'n ledetal van 73 permanente, 12 plattelandse en 7 nie-spelende lede.
In 1981 Franskraal found to have a shortage in recreational activities which resulted in a motivation to establish a Bowls Club. Under leaderships of Mr Floris Muller, a retired Bank Manager from Swellendam, a proposal was made to the Caledon Council in order to make property available. A founding committee appointed Mr Muller as Chairman, Mr P L Zietman - Assistant Chair, Mr Hannes de Kock - Secretary, other members Calla van Dyk, Jurie Otto, Hans Swart, Helen Marais and Peggie du Toit. With an entry of 15 members, the majority of the work on the first green was completed within the first year with only resources available being themselves. The official inauguration was held on the 2nd October 1982, with Mr A de Villiers as honorable guest. The Club named after Floris Muller due to the huge contribution that was made in the actual building and establishment of the club. This is a name and legacy date. Over the years the Club has grown from strength with being named as the fourth biggest club in the Boland District.
