Welcome to Mary Datchelor Old Girls Club

Welcome to the website of the Mary Datchelor Old Girls' Club. We all share a lively interest in Mary Datchelor Girls' School and want to keep in touch with one another. The Old Girls Club remains open despite the closure of the school in 1981, and small regional meetings are a popular new feature. For more information about the club, read the About Us section.
