At the association meeting on the 30th July, President Hilary Bastone presented well deserved 'Long Service Award Badges' to Richard Rendle, longstanding former Secretary, and to Mr Lew Langworthy, both of whom have contributed an enormous amount of their time contributing to the running of the association and their efforts have been very much appreciated by all members, and indeed the residents of Dartmouth.

The 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.
