Old Dunstonian Association (ODA) is the alumni organisation for former pupils and staff of St Dunstan's College. The association sponsors a number of events for its members and several sports clubs which members can join. The Association and its constituent clubs are run by voluntary, unpaid Boards and Committees. The sports clubs each have their own separate membership and subscription arrangements. The ODA welcomes all former members of the St. Dunstan’s community to join us.
Old Dunstonian Sport LTD
Formal OD clubs exist for a number of different sports. Some like those for Rugby and Cricket are long-established with a regular fixture list and their own programmes of off-the-field events, others draw their members together to fulfil occasional fixtures.
The OD Clubhouse and Ground at Park Langley is home for these clubs and is run by a formal limited company, the OD Sports Club Limited. The company is responsible for running the Clubhouse and Ground and their finances, for the continuing maintenance and development of the facilities, and for appointing and supervising non-OD sports clubs to whom it grants licence arrangements for their use of the Clubhouse & Ground.
