A Dilworth Fortissimo choir concert was recently held at the stunning St John the Baptist Church in London!

This special performance, in collaboration with the Cardinal Vaughan Schola Cantorum, was a late but exciting addition to our International Tour, thanks to the efforts of Dilworth Old Boy, Hayden Potier - Class of 1995, who now resides in the UK.

Close to 30 Dilworth Old Boys and Alumni (from the Class of 2023 to 1970) gathered at the Smith & Wollensky restaurant just off The Strand in central London. It was a night filled with great speeches, presentations, and plenty of nostalgia.

While on the International Tour current students had the chance to reunite with their former RSD Gap Tutors at a special "Rugby & Reunion" event at the Royal School of Dungannon.

The Dilworth Old Boys' Association Country Reunion, held in Gisborne from August 15 to 18, 2024, was a resounding success.

About 20 Dilworth Old Boys got together as part of a DOBA initiative to watch the All Blacks beat a strong English side in their first test match of 2024 under new coach Scott Robinson.
