Who are the Toddington Old Boys? |

In 1943, William Hyde MA CBE JP formed the Toddington Old Boys Association or TOBA, a luncheon club of like minded gentlemen who met every half year to reminisce about their younger days in the village of Toddington, Bedfordshire.
Over half a century later the Association is still going strong. The Toddington Old Boys Association still meets twice yearly for a luncheon and still supports the village and it's organisations to develop and grow.
Our membership is made up of gentlemen over the age of forty who were born in Toddington, or studied at one of the village schools. Currently our number stands at over a hundred and fifty such gentlemen and covers a wide spectrum of our society from managers, labourers, directors and retirees, to the disabled and unemployed, all of whom get together for a meal, a pint and a chat twice a year at the Toddington Sports & Social Club.
From the early days of the Toddington Old Boys Association, we have offered our strong community contributions to the village. We have offered our financial support to our schools, our youth groups and to other organisations that serve our community. Alongside the Toddington Old Scholars, a similar organisation for the women of the village, Toddington Old Boys Association has been an active force for community cohesion. The Toddington Old Boys and the Toddington Old Scholars meet every year for an annual event night.
If you were born in our village or attended one of our many schools, please contact our Secretary to find out more about our organisation. To help us live up to our motto:
To Summon Up Remembrance of Things Past. |
