​ Who Are The Old Bastards?


We are an organisation based on fun, fellowship and joviality coupled with fund raising, founded back in 1968 by Leo Bradshaw MBE.
Our main purpose  is to raise funds for a variety of worthy charities across Australia with our  beneficiary the Children's Hospital at Westmead, in particular the Leo Bradshaw Research Laboratory as well as other Children's charities, the Royal Flying Doctor Service - community groups including primary and high schools - all these and more have been helped by the AOOB.
AOOB branches are the fundraising side of the organisation and their wonderful hardworking efforts include - raffles, barbecues, race days, quiz nights, even an annual car rally and other fun stuff - and from the fees generated by  Life Memberships to this unique organisation.
For a once only fee of  $25.00 and get you a  membership card together with a keyring badge  and the pleasure of knowing you've become part of something special.
We'd love to hear from Old Bastards - wherever you are in the world - please call our head office  Fridays only  between 9.00 am and 2.30 pm (Eastern Standard Time) on 0428 332 733 or email us at: [email protected]
