Wesley College Colombo Sri Lanka - Old Boys Union (UK)

               Ora et labora

Welcome to the OBU(UK) website

I am certain the photograph above rekindles happy memories of years gone by. This website provides information about the Old Boys Union in the UK. Our aim is to unite all Wesleyites and help Wesley College Colombo to remain as one of the best educational institutions in the country.  The OBU(UK) maintains strong links with Wesley and its Principal. Over many years the OBU(UK) has contributed much to the welfare of the school. We have an interesting calendar of events. It is a forum to meet and greet old friends and teachers. Please take part in our many activities and make a difference. There are formal and informal meetings and gatherings of the Union for which all are welcome. The contact email addresses are available below. We would love to hear from you.

We are grateful to those old boys who started the UK Branch. Their efforts have been incorporated into the folklore of the OBU-UK. We also thank those who were office bearers and helped the Union over the years despite the pressures of work and study in a foreign land. We remember the many old boys who have over the years donated most generously their time and money for the OBU and Wesley. They have done us proud and upheld the rich traditions of our Alma Mater. We will never forget the old boys who have played their part and have since departed this world. As to our website - creating, updating and hosting has been a pleasure. The website is only as good as its contributors. I must thank all the old boys and in particular Azahim Mohammed for the support and encouragement as it evolved and saw the light of day in the World Wide Web circa 1997. The rest is our treasured history.

We offer a big thank you to Mahendra Dissanayake for his technical support and providing space for our website in the Wesley College Server.
