Thank
Dear OBA Members, We trust you and your families have been safe and abiding to the Covid - 19 rules. It has been a very turbulent last 6 months and the committee has been functioning to the best of its ability though we have not been able to meet in person. We successfully held the Big Match during August before the 2nd wave came upon us. Due to the recent rise in infection rates and the restrictions imposed by the government we felt it appropriate that we postpone this years AGM from the intended date of 29.11.2020 to 28.02.2021. We have had to take this unprecedented decision and with the hope of this pandemic will be over by February 2021. We will keep you informed of the progress no doubt. We thank you for your co-operation. The committee will continue to serve your interest under its current capacity till then.'' Thank you. S .Joypooranachandren On behalf of the Ex Committee.
