Old Dovorian Sports & Social Hub
Within the Old Dovorian Club there are a number of both sporting and social groups, which are run by Old Dovorians for the benefit of the members of the Old Dovorian Club, these groups are run as independent Old Dovorian Groups both here in the United Kingdom, but also around the world, in Singapore, Hong Kong and Africa to name a few.
The Old Dovorian Club have currently two sporting groups, namely the Old Dovorian Cricket Club and Old Dovorian Golf Society.
The Old Dovorian Cricket Club can trace its roots back to the 1880’s in various disguises, either as an independent Cricket Club or as part of the Old Dovorian Club, Only recently the Cricket Club once again re established its self as an Independent, stand alone group within the Old Dovorian community after nearly 80 years.
The Old Dovorian Golf Society, is a more recent addition to the Old Dovorian community, which was set up as an independent group in the 1960’s by a group of Old Dovorians who had a passion for golf, and has continued to play a full fixture list through out the year, which includes the recently established annual golf match against the school in the summer.
Both the Old Dovorian Cricket Club and Golf Society play a number of matches against other clubs, golfing society’s, and school alumni, mainly in and around the South East of England and London.
The hosting of the Club’s very popular annual London Cocktail party is the highlight of the year, and is held in mid-January at the RAF Club in Piccadilly, as well as other formal and informal gatherings that take place throughout the year.
But also one of the Clubs main “Key principles” is to support and bring together Old Dovorians, along with supporting the diverse number of Old Dovorian Club Groups have been set up by the Club, but also individual Old Dovorians who are located both here in the UK as well as around the world, both socially and professionally.
It is only natural that Old Dovorians bound by the common link of being educated at Dover College continue to keep in touch with their former class mates, but also with other Old Dovorians from previous years, but also with those who have left the school more recently.
The Club strives to keep its members informed and updated with Club news, activities and members’ news, which is done via the Club’s online publication of The Dovorian News.
