DORDOGNE ORGANISATION
OF GENTLEMEN

The Dordogne Organisation of Gentlemen (DOG) was founded in 1987 as an Anglophone member’s association, comprising many nationalities living or with holiday homes in and around the Dordogne area.

​

We meet in a convivial, social atmosphere for regular lunches during which our members relax, converse, and try, though nearly always fail, to put the world to rights! With our collective range and depth of accumulated abilities we help and support each other as needed.

​

We meet for lunch at least once a month at a variety of excellent restaurants throughout our region. At each lunch a member will normally give a talk on a subject of his choice, or a quiz or similar is held. Each regular lunch is attended by around 25-40 members and their guests.

At three lunches a year, normally held in May, September and at Christmas, we have the pleasure of being joined by our wives and partners.

​

I am very pleased to say that DOG is in a healthy and vibrant state, with an active, interesting, and committed membership. Long may this continue.

​

The management of our organisation is run by an elected Board which oversees the key requirements of finance and administration, restaurant selection and liaison, member welfare and regular communication with our membership and other associations with which we are affiliated.

Membership of DOG is by invitation from an existing member. Guests are invited to join us at one or two of our regular lunches to experience DOG for themselves. Our conversion-rate from guest to member is impressively high, which speaks to the fun and pleasure of our events and activities.
