It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Malcolm Dobbins. Malcolm was a governor at Marpool School in Exmouth for many years, a member of the Devon Association of Governance (DAG) Board, the Devon Education Forum (DEF) and the Schools Finance Group (SFG).
Malcolm’s contribution to school governance in Devon over very many years was considerable, his wisdom and humour will be very much missed by all who knew him.
Malcolm’s funeral will be held on 23rd October in Budleigh Salterton. DAG would like to pass on its heartfelt condolences to Malcolm’s family and friends.
