Update on the 30th Annual General Meeting (1994 - 2024), Saturday 3rd February 2024

The Wesley College Colombo Old Boys Association NSW Inc. (Australia) held its 30th Annual General Meeting (1994 - 2024) at The Indo Lankan Restaurant (61 Boomerang Place, NSW 2147), on Saturday 3rd February 2024.

President Kugan Thiru (since Jan 2022) thanked the members, their families, old boys, patrons, sponsors and well-wishers for their faith in his leadership and the Executive team’s capability and their continuous unconditional support and love for their Alma Mater.

He addressed that 2022 and 2023 were successful years of the history of the Wesley OBA, NSW (Sydney) Australia especially for the Double Blue Ball held on Saturday 27th May 2023 with a record-breaking ticket sale of 435 tickets sold and a net profit of $19,530.88 was made on the night. The Treasurer Mr. Ravi Nadarajah presented the Financials to the Members.

The President thanked the Executive Committee for their hard work, commitment, dedication, sincerity and tremendous support in everything they did during his leadership in 2022 and 2023, otherwise, the success and achievements would not have been possible.

He also pointed out that the membership attendance at the AGM was significant and reflected the enthusiasm of the members to support their Alma Mater and the Wesley College Colombo OBA NSW Inc.

In the President’s speech, he said that he would like a new leader to be appointed in 2024. However, the Members and Patrons declined his request but asked the President and Executive Committees to stay in the role in 2024 as well.

As a result, the members and patrons voted unanimously for the Office Bearers to stay in their respective roles in 2024 too, except for a few changes to the Committee Members.

The newly elected president Kugan Thiru thanked the members once again for the trust reposed in him for the 3rd consecutive year of Presidency and the honour conferred on this 30th year of Wesley OBA NSW Inc.

He thanked the outgoing Committee Members Zaki Ousmand and Zaeem Al Careem for their support in 2023.
