VERNEY NEWS SPRING 1960

Verney News
COMINGS AND GOINGS have been our principal activity since Christmas, saying farewell to Vic. Addinall for the second time during his
apprenticeship, he has again gone into digs. We also said cheerio to an old friend, namely Jimmy Fasanya, who had been with us longer than anyone he has decided to go and live with Mum; it means a lot of travelling but it must be worth it. Our new arrivals are Brian Ball and Geoff.
Rose who I hope will enjoy their stay with us.
We held our New Year's Party in January and a most successful evening was enjoyed by all; it was probably our best yet and for two good reasons: we had a number of young ladies from Balls Park Teachers' Training College, and secondly I'm pleased to say most of our chaps were able to dance, which helps any social along.
The 'flu' took toll of the Verney residents, putting to bed the Newton family and four of our boys. That's us immunized for another year at least!

Well the new year is definitely letting us know its here.
Its freezing with snow who remembers the snow of winter 63, the boys clearing the pensioners of Waterford's paths.
I was on leave but I remember having no trouble getting back to Goldings, now no one wants to travel or do anything in bad weather.
Happy days

Hi Dave
I found a message in the Guest Book from John Sansom posted October 2007 where he references the carpenter shop in 1946 and mentions Mr Disney ("Pop-Dis") and his bad leg that he had to have a special boot made up for. So he was still teaching there in 1946. He died in 1950.Little tid bits are helping to us paint a picture :)

Hi Dave
Thank you for your response. I will look through the photos on this site. Anything else you find would be much appreciated. It's great to know my Grandfather did teach at the school - adds a bit more flavour to our research. Best wishes,
Carina
