The early years:
"Sunnybank Little Athletics started as a club under Mt. Gravatt Little A's in February 1981, Sunnybank Little Athletics Centre was formed under Mr. M. Vickers, with an enrollment 05 207 children. With the 1981/82 season Mrs Wilma Perkins took over as Centre Manager, laying strong foundations for the centre, With an enrollment of 218, and a great season, Mrs Wilma Perkins, stepped up to the Association level as Manager for Officials,. Her place was taken by Mrs E. Elliott and our numbers grew in the 1982/83 season to 366 children due to the Commonwealth Games hed in Brisbane. Since 1983 I have held the reins, together with a wonderful hard working committee who have helped raise Sunnybank Centre to one of the most respected Centres within Queensland. We hope the coming season is as successful is as last season where our children surpassed everyones expectations and won dictinction in Championships throughout the year."
Brian Lawson, Centre Manager, 1985
