COVID-19 STATEMENT

Dear Members.

With the spreading of the Coronavirus and the Government advice, the presidents Dinner on the 28th of this month has been CANCELLED.
All money paid will be refunded, but as the Treasurer has not presented a single cheque to the bank for payment yet, cheques, with your agreement, may be returned to you or torn up.
Those who paid in cash will be returned in cash. The evening was looking good, with fifty attending, and a new caterer who was keen to impress.
Our grateful thanks go to Kevin and Ron, who made all the arrangements, and we look forward to doing it at a later date.

We have also agreed to cancel the proposed ODA  meeting on the 31st of March at the Rowing Club.
Please pass to word to any of your friends who you know are not on email.


shipindockinnlogoThe Old Dartmothians' Association was founded in the Ship 'n' Dock Inn, on the Friday of Dartmouth Regatta in 1923, by four Dartmothians. Their intention was to form a fellowship of Dartmouth men over the age of eighteen, who would cherish their relationship with the town of Dartmouth, and could help to enhance the lives of the townsfolk, even though some of them may have moved away to live elsewhere.

So does that mean the association is only meant only for the elderly townsmen? Well the answer is most definitely NO! The word old has many meanings when used in particular contexts, and in this case we think that it was intended to be interpreted as "Denoting someone who formerly attended, or lived/lives in, a specified place. e.g. as in ‘an old Etonian’. and not someone who is aged.
