25.01.2022 GOLD COAST AOOB next get together will be held at Cav's Steakhouse, Labrador on Thursday 5 December 2019 Noon for 12.45pm luncheon. All enquiries to President, Frank Reynolds on 0421 254 526.

25.01.2022 Help - we have received a request for new membership from a Shaun O'Neill, nominated by Terri & John Healey. Fees have been paid but no address or contact phone number or email address. Also need help in locating a Barrie Cooke who has paid membership fee on 29 August 2019 but I have not received any paperwork. Over to you Facebook sleuths.

24.01.2022 The AOOB is proud to announce a cheque for over $19,000 will be provided to the Children's Hospital at Westmead in support of the Leo Bradshaw Research Laboratory where research into genetic kidney disease in children is currently being undertaken. These funds are the result of fundraising efforts by AOOB branches, lots of generous donations and miscellaneous funds from bank interest.

23.01.2022 A Question often asked is 'My Dad has passed away - can I use his membership number?". Unfortunately, membership numbers are not transferable. As we currently only charge $15 for Life Membership we don't believe this is too much to ask to keep the organisation going. Membership fees started at $2, then $5 then $7 so over a 50 year time frame we think it is still great value for something uniquely Australian.

22.01.2022 AOOB DARWIN 'TOP END' Branch will be holding their 3 "B's" (BBQ, Booze & Babes) fundraising event this Saturday, 16 November 2019 at the HIBISCUS TAVERN starting at noon. All welcome - in support of SIDS NT.

22.01.2022 Many thanks to Katie Macrae, (91 years young) and a member from the Twin Towns Branch who found this teaspoon in an Op-Shop in Toowoomba. Unfortunately, there are no other details to be had about the history of this 'Çollector's Spoon'. Quite an elegant spoon nonetheless.

20.01.2022 We have set the date for our AGM Sunday, 16 August 2020 at the Southport Bowls Club. Further details to be supplied closer to the date.

20.01.2022 Kalbarri Branch of the AOOB were very happy to present cheques for $1,000 to each of the following recipients:- Kalbarri District High School, Canoe & Cray Carnival Inc. and the Kalbarri Dvelopment Association. If you are in the area please call in to Finlays' Fish Bar-b-que and meet up with an OB over a cool ale or two!!

18.01.2022 I get lots of requests for an updated membership card and when the membership number is only 5 digits my first impression is that there must be a missing number. So it is always a great surprise & delight to find the original membership number listed in the ledger and can't help but think rather than an Old Bastard, the person is a 'long standing' Old Bastard. Today my replacement card member is listed in the 5th ledger (out of 60 foolscap ledgers here at the office) so a very 'long standing' member and computer literate too boot!! So to all the 'long standing' Old Bastards out there, thank you for your continued support.

18.01.2022 WE NOW HAVE A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS - [email protected] PLEASE UPDATE YOUR RECORDS We also updated our phone number 0428 332 733

06.01.2022 Unfortunately we are experiencing problems with internet, can receive emails intermittently and then have trouble sending emails. If you are waiting on memberships it may be because I cannot download the application forms. Sorry for any inconvenience. Hopefully this will all be rectified sooner rather than later!!
