I frequently get the message that 'DashboardClient quit unexpectedly while using the FlashPlayer-10.6 plugin.'
There follows a whole load of code and dismissing it sends it to Apple.
Can anyone tell me what thats about & is there anything I can do to stop it?

One of your dashboard toys is not kosher.... And it's found one of the many bugs in adobes flash frameworks.
Take a look in the logs for the offending item, and toss it out.

Thank Gordon, they seemed fun to start with but I very rarely remember to use dashboard now-a-days. Too many toys for ageing boys!

It's well worth checking Adobe's flash download site for upgrades which seem to appear frequently. Same applies to Adobe Acrobat Reader.

So what do we learn here?
If you dont use software in a year, delete it! This ten times more valid for IOS devices as you can get so much stuff you never use from the app store!
