The
collection
was brought together about seven years ago by Bevan Hefferen in an
un-used room in the Club from various items of memorabillia that had
been donated to the Services Club and to the Masterton RSA over the
years.  Bevan in
the History Room
The collection started with a few items that had been stored in the old stables building behind the Club, some pictures and a several other pieces on display round the building; and items from Bevan's own collection. Then the donations and loans started coming in. They haven't stopped yet!

It has become a 'must see' for visiting RSA members and Defence Force personnel when visiting Masterton." Andrew
