The R A O B Club Gosport, 33 Stoke Road, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 1LS
Come along and wish a Happy 100th Birthday to the Gosport Province of The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (aka The Buffs) and find out about their history at this special Open Day…
The RAOB in Gosport was formed on the 3rd January 1921, although the Order started nearly a century before that. Nationally, it’s now one of the largest fraternal organisations in the United Kingdom.
During this open day, you will be given a tour of the Club, including the Lodge Room, and find out all about who they are, what they do, and even how to join.
There will be a photo slide show of events and functions from the past, and members will be on hand to answer your questions.
You might even discover why they’re named after ‘buffaloes’… and maybe get to hear the song!
Duration: Allow 60 minutes.
