About the Society

We enjoy our work and hope you will too.

The Society was formed in September 2000 by a small group of local residents of the Epsom and Mt Eden suburbs who want to promote interest and knowledge and record the history of their district.

We wish to sadly report that the Society has decided to wind up in early 2026

President: Eric Laurenson
Secretary: Louise Richardson
Treasurer: Brian Allen
