On Sunday 14th March 2010 "Amateur Radio New South Wales opened its new building at the VK2WI Dural site and at the same time celebrated its formation 100 years ago.
Over 100 members attended the celebrations of the Centenary of the formation of the movement which has become today’s WIA and marked the event with the cutting of the Centenary Cake. Three “Elders”, (left to right in the photograph) David Thompson VK2BDT, born 1919, Pierce Healy VK2APQ born 1911 and Bill Hall VK2XT born 1912 cut the Centenary Cake, with ARNSW President Beth Langley VK2AO looking on.
