History
The very first record of a senior group affiliate of the Church Lads’ Brigade is dated for March 17, 1905. The group at St. John’s is known as the Church Lads’ Brigade “Old Boy’s Club” and consisted of men over eighteen who had been Brigade members. During the visit of Colonel W.M. Gee on July 29, 1912 the “Old Comrades” club was officially inaugurated.
From 1912 until 1966 the “Old Comrades” met at the Armoury as a separate group which acted as a fund-raising body, and a sports and activities aid for the Church Lads’ Brigade. The current “Old Comrades Association” Lodge Number One is the oldest operating in the Commonwealth and had an active strength of five hundred members in 1979.
The Port Rexton Association has since closed due to lack of members and the former hall has been sold.
