The Old Anandians Association of Queensland Inc. is a non-profit organisation formed with the foremost intention to nurture friendship among fellow Old Anandians residing in Queensland and to assist Alma Mater.

The journey of forming the Incorporated Association began when the ‘Queensland Battle of Maroons’ was conducted in 2011 with fellow Old Nalandians in the spirit of brotherhood. The enthusiasm that generated during this event led to a formation of an informal group of Old Anandians in Queensland. The second cricket encounter between the two brotherly schools was played for the Colonel Henry Steel Olcott Trophy in a grand scale with a large gathering and it was felt that the time is right to incorporate the association. In April 2013, Old Anandians in Queensland formed ‘The Old Anandians Association of Queensland Inc.’, following the example of their colleagues in Victoria, NSW and WA.
