“The considerable historical knowledge and expertise of Alan La Roche MBE is unparalleled, and his dedication to the East Auckland community knows no bounds.
He has written books, articles, painted scenes, researched widely, given talks, led walks, and most of all, spearheaded the establishment of Howick Historical Village in Lloyd Elsmore Park over forty years ago.
In recognition of his contributions, The Howick & Districts Historical Society is proud to host this series of five talks by Alan, highlighting his many achievements over his lifetime.”
