This is the message I sent to Martine King at Barnardo's on the 20 May 2017 with the view that they should make this a special write up in the Guild Messenger, Summer Edition,which I was hoping they could contact a larger gathering of Old Boys for our re-union.If they include this in the Winter edition it will be an opportunity sadly missed.
Dear Martine,
Just a reminder that this year that Goldings closed 50 years ago and the first official re-union was 60 years ago this year 1957, which was actively encouraged by the former Headmaster Mr Raymond Francis Wheatley so the boys could rekindle their former friendships at the school as we still continue to this day as Goldings or should I say the William Baker Technical School Old Boys. I feel that this year the School should have a special mention and possibly a major content in the Guild Messenger to help us contact the many Old Boys out there that may not be aware that there is a special re-union this year to mark the occasion and former Staff and Mr Wheatley’s, the headmaster son David continues to support us as he also spent a lot of his younger years living and friends of many Old Boys as he is like us, a Goldings Old Boy, and very proud of his Fathers achievements along with many loyal Staff that made Goldings a special place in our lives. We are also trying to hold a Service at Waterford Church and hopefully a bugler or band for the day. I feel that Barnardo's should give us plenty of support for our special day as they have in the past, many thanks.

Hi ex-Goldings Boys or should I say men. Look forward to meeting you all at our reunion on 7th, I'm sure it's going to be special, I know that Dave Blower and his family have put a lot of work in to make this special. I was a bit peeved the way the Guild Messenger listed this forthcoming reunion as 'Goldings Reunion 7th October' I think it's disgusting, they could have put a lot more down saying it's 50 years since the school closed etc. I'm sure they want us to forget that we carried the name of Dr Barnardo's, that over the years, has helped them to receive many donations because of us. To say I'm peeved is an under statement. Good luck to you all, see you in October.

Letter received 29-08-2017 ref Eric David Rollins

Dear Mr Blower, Thanks for details of Reunion in October, sadly my husband Eric David Rollins died on 24th August. He was a good man and very grateful for
his love and care, given to him as a “Barnardos” boy. He was very happy to tell his children and grandchildren of his early start in life.
He would want to say many thanks, Margaret Rollins “wife”
