History of Sutherland Group of APS NSW

The Group first met in February 1963 at Engadine. In 2001, Maurice Haenke, a member of the Group, prepared a history of the Sutherland Group.

On 28 April 2013, the Sutherland Group celebrated its 50th anniversary with an enjoyable afternoon tea at the Kareela Golf Club. Over 80 people attended, including current and former members and friends from other APS NSW groups. A YouTube video was produced by Liz Aitken and some photos are available on our Facebook site. A PowerPoint presentation with photos from throughout our 50 years ran on a continuous loop.
