THURSTAN COLLEGE OBA – UK BRANCH  MEMBERSHIP FORM

FAQ

Who is eligible for OBA membership?

To be eligible, you must be 18 years of age or older, have attended Thurstan College, Colombo, and be permanently residing in the United Kingdom or continental Europe.

How do I apply for membership?

To apply, please submit the membership request form. Once it is received, our General Secretary will contact you to discuss the next steps and formally welcome you as a prestigious member of our association.

Can I seek advice from members even if I’m not a member?

Of course. A prime objective of our OBA is to look after the interests of Thurstanites and the wider community. Regardless of membership status, we are always happy to speak with you and help in any way we can.

Can I get involved in school and OBA activities without being a member?

Absolutely. We welcome all past students of Thurstan College to participate in our community events and activities. Formal membership allows you to have an official role in the OBA’s future (e.g., voting rights, holding office), but we encourage the entire community to get involved with our work.

How can I find information about UK immigration, accommodation, job opportunities, etc.?

As part of our support for members, we can connect you with trusted partners and advisors for specialized assistance. For most general information, official sources are the best place to start.
