New Committee STC OBA NSW/ACT 2021-2022

Dear Fellow Thomians

It is with great joy and satisfaction that we announce the newly elected OBA committee for the forthcoming period 2021-2022. The new committee was appointed at the AGM concluded on Sunday 31st October 2021.

Despite the prevailing social gathering restrictions due to COVID-19, the 2021 AGM was held “outdoors” at the Heritage Park, Castle Hill. Arranged in an atmosphere of friendship and camaraderie, interwoven with that intrinsic characteristic, “Thomian Spirit” the formal proceedings were preceded by a BBQ lunch.

Sanjiv Vivekanandan, the current VP was elected President, whilst the outgoing President Kulasiri Jayasinghe will continue in the committee, together with him most current committee members will continue to serve. Yet again as in 2020, the highlight was the election of several young Thomians, some of them taking responsibility in the OBA’s executive committee. This will be one of the largest committees in the history of STCOBANSW/ACT.

We thank all those who attended the AGM and others who sent their good wishes.
