Australian Fluid Power Society (AFPS)

Hi again

Don't time fly.  Seems like only 2 years since my last post.

This year has been one of burning up long standing leave as directed by management so not a lot happening professionally.  The flagship item of my involvement has been the establishment and first meetings of the Australian Fluid Power Society (AFPS).  This has been a wish on the magical horizon since the society was first formed back in the 1970s.  Late last year, after several false starts all of the paperwork was arranged, approved and passed.  Both the Western Australian Society & the Fluid Power Society of Victoria agreed with the structure and the AFPS was born.  In January of this year the first meeting was held where office bearers were elected  to form the executive of the AFPS.  More detail of both societies & the national body may be found here: www.fluidpowersociety.com.au  This site also hosts information relating to both of the states sites including membership details.

An excellent newsletter is available for anyone interested:

Interest has also been forthcoming with both NSW & QLD looking at re-establishing their respective societies and joining forces on the national society.  So watch this space (or that of the AFPS) for further developments


On the Australian Fluid Power Society vein, I have now run a number of the International Fluid Power Society (IFPS.ORG) certification courses as these are most likely to be recognised by multi national companies and suitable for those seeking such an international flavour.

Best wishes to all for the Christmas holiday time also for the New Year
