There\u00a0\u00a0 was an acceleration in numbers thereafter. By early 1974 I think there were about 12 or more Sri Lankan families that had settled down in Adelaide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We Sri Lankans tend to be a gregarious lot wherever we go. It was therefore understandable that Lucien Keegal would ring around sometime in 1974 seeking to arrange a get- together of Sri Lankans.\u00a0 And so it came to pass that a group of about 20 or more people met for this purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was not an entirely propitious inauguration though, because there were apparently two factions that could not agree on how to proceed. Of course, this fissiparous tendency is just another feature that characterises us among the nations of this world. Despite this setback, some of our forebears continued to meet over String hoppers, Buriyani and Baila from time to time. Then there came the vision of forming an Association. New immigrants were always made to feel welcome, supported and gently inducted into the Aussie lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, for the inauguration of the Australia Sri-Lanka Association Inc. (ASLA) in 1974.\u00a0 The earliest records indicate that the pioneers elected as their first president, Lucien Keegel. Chinti Wijesingha was VP. Radley Claessen was Secretary, and the Treasurer was Fred Perera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A constitution was drawn up \u00a0and approved. ASLA was \u00a0for all Sri- Lankans irrespective of their ethnicity or religion, serving the community in South Australia. It is a not-for-profit Association and the objective is to bring communities together, socialise and integrate the rich traditions of our Nation and build social cohesion and harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Our heyday was \u00a0in the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s when the Christmas and New Year Dinner-Dances\u00a0\u00a0 always drew an attendance of up to 300 souls. The usual meeting-place was the Marion Bowling Club, and later, the Railway Social Club at Keswick.\u00a0\u00a0 I note with pride that we were exempt from Hall-hire charges at the latter site. I was present when the Manager announced one night, that we were not required to pay hall-hire charges any longer as the bar-takings were always so good.\u00a0 We agreed that her argument was truly indisputable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0Since its foundation ASLA has initiated many services to \u00a0new migrants of Sri Lankan origin arriving in South Australia, assisting t them towards settling in the community. We have \u00a0organised various community events to bring people \u00a0together, raising funds and donating to worthy charities in Sri-Lanka or Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Look at us now.\u00a0 It\u2019s important that we take this Association forward in the years to come especially when it has been in existence for \u00a049 years since 1974. Our ASLA is probably the oldest Sri Lankan Association in \u00a0Australia. Given the history of the association and the abundance of \u00a0support it has given to many Sri Lankans it would have been very sad if we had to wind up at any stage. We have a new team of enthusiasts \u00a0at the helm now. As we approach our \u00a0Fiftieth Anniversary, we can confidently leave the fate of ASLA in their capable hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(Contributed by a pioneering member)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE AUSTRALIA-SRI LANKA ASSOCIATION INC The earliest instances of Sri Lankans settling in Adelaide\u00a0 to\u00a0 my knowledge would be the Collettes, the Frewins, the Claessens, Ludovicis, deBruins, \u00a0and the Pereras to name a few.\u00a0 That was in the 50\u2019s up until the early 70\u2019s.
