On 13 January 25, Chapter Chairman received a call from CEO SST, AVM Qasim Masood Khan about upcoming Founders Day at SST PSR on 25 January 25.

SOBA Reunion 2022 1. SOBA organized a Reunion of Old Boys at Sargodha College on 24th of October 2022. The last Reunion was held in October 2018. This long gap was due to Covid restrictions. In the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held during the 2018 Reunion it was decided by Sargodhians that in order to reduce Reunion related administrative and logistic burden at the College, the Reunion would be held at Sargodha after every three years. It was also agreed that in between Reunion would be held after one year at one of the Chapters as decided by Sargodhians. The Reunion 2019, 2020 and 2021 could not be held. In mid this year Covid finally appeared to be receding and a decision was thus made to hold the Reunion at Sargodha College on 24th October as a day event.

It is to apprise all Sargodhians that SOBA re-union is planned to be held at PAF College Sargodha, on 24 October 2022. It will essentially be a day event except for participants from Karachi.
