Formed in the late 1970s, this Association brought together the British boys who migrated to South Australia in the 1910s and 20s to participate in the State Government’s farm apprenticeship scheme. Although the original migrants have now passed on, their descendants continue to meet annually.
The group celebrated the centenary of South Australia’s British farm apprentice schemes in 2013 with an exhibition at the Migration Museum which then travelled to the Royal Adelaide Show and other country shows about the state. Photos from the exhibition can be seen here
