Mess Rules
|
Existing and new members are under no obligation to order the mess dress but it was worn in the 1930s by troop members and serves as a unique and direct link to the history of Gold's Dragoons and our Royal Patron, over 350 years ago. We encourage the wearing of the mess dress on all appropriate formal evenings, including non-Gold's Dragoons events. As members retire or move to other parts of the USA or abroad we need to continually attract suitable new members and the distinctive mess dress has proven to be a very effective recruiting sergeant.
