“The Old Dovorian Club Run By Old Dovorians, For The Benefit of Old Dovorians”

Welcome

Introduction from Edward Lewis, President of the Old Dovorian Club

I would personally like to extend a warm welcome to you from the Old Dovorian Club, since its inception on the 10th December 1887, largely due to the efforts of Mr R Norris, one of the core objectives, which still holds true today, is that the Club is run by Old Dovorians for the benefit of all Old Dovorians.

The Club has been through a number of changes since it was founded in 1887, particularly over the last 18 months. As a result, the Club undertook a full in-depth review, which the Club’s committee instigated in 2023.  The objective of which was to ensure that the Club was in a position to support its members both here in the UK and abroad in today’s society.

One of the main recommendations that came from the review is that the Club should respect and protect the established traditions and principles of not only the Club, but also the College on which both were founded.  As a result, the Club has now put the three main core principles, upon which the Club was originally founded in 1887, fully front and centre in everything the Club does and how it conducts itself.

With over 5,000 members worldwide, the Club’s core objectives still remain to “keep up friendly, and respectful communications between Old Dovorians; keep members informed in all matters interesting to Old Dovorians; and, finally, maintain continued support and links with Dover College”.  This is not only intended to be done directly but also through the various Old Dovorian groups, both here in the UK and across the globe, maintaining contact with Dover College, whilst supporting and connecting Old Dovorians both socially and professionally for the mutual benefit of all its members.
