The beginnings for Meulemans was when grandfather Ken Meuleman transferred from Victoria in the early 50's to play and ultimately captain and coach Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield competition. Ken Meuleman's service to cricket in this state is legendary on the field of player, as a respected coach and an administrator. A very soft spoken, humble man, Ken laid the foundation for Meulemans.

Besides boasting a very proud playing record with the only father-son-grandson chain in the history of Australian Cricket having all made First Class centuries , the Meuleman family have contributed enormously to the development of cricket,  as players, coaches, administrators and sponsors for over half a century.

One of the key factors in Meulemans being such a successful business is that it has been able to continue a personalised service in a very friendly environment. The centre itself has the best range of cricket equipment on display in Australia, with indoor practice and coaching facilities to match.

With a team of staff that has played the game at professional levels and has a genuine love for it, knowing and understanding equipment is second nature.

Bob Meuleman and his sons Justin and Scott all played district cricket for Willetton. Bob is a Life Member of the club.

Meulemans contribution to the club is over a  23 year period and includes being club coach, purchasing of the sight screens and the roller plus many other contributions throughout the years.
