If you have photos or video not already included on this page, please consider letting us have copies to add to this archive. Thank You
As part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations OSOBS commissioned an enamel lapel badge to commemorate the occasion. At the AGM each member was issued with one but now they are also available for OSOBS members on request. We only ask payment for post and packing which if residing in the UK will be £1.55 postage plus £0.85 for the envelope, a total of £2.40 . If residing overseas please ask for a quote for postage. If you would like one of these badges, please send your request by email to president@osobs.com giving your full name and postal address and stating how you wish to pay, which can be cheque or by direct bank transfer. Click here for details on how to make a payment.
