Hi Dave, I've spent the afternoon scrolling through several thousands of messages on the GOB - great memories.
I came to Goldings 12/01/63 and was in Pelham House when Eddie Budd was HC, succeeded by David Langler - it was good to see a message from him, not a bad goalkeeper, he must be happy now Burnley are back in the EPL! I was in the printing department (Comp) with the likes of David Fall, Keith MacSweeney, Chris Berry, John Foote. A few years ago I was still in touch with Glynn Parry and Jimmy James (very sad to hear of his passing), and also Bob Robertson. Now that I have found the GOB I will look forward to continuing the reading. Hats off to you for the tremendous work you are doing with the website, and yes, I remember you as a chippy, and a very keen footballer!

Malcolm, it's Dave from Golding's. We have put your request about watch repairing on our Guest Book.
I was also wondering if you could help me out, next year it has been 50 years since Golding's closed so I am trying to make it a bit special,do you think the Vicar would do us a special service at next years reunion which is on Saturday 7th October 2017. If you could help me get in touch to try to arrange it, also do you know of a Cadet Marching Band that would help us on the day. Regards Dave, the Tree Surgeon!!


Hallo David,

Our rector, Jenny will be delighted to conduct a service. I think the best way to start is for you to contact Jenny by e-mail, she is always very helpful and full of ideas to make such services special.

Please don't worry if you don't have quick responses, we are now a benefice of five parishes and, although there is a ministry team, the vast majority of the work falls on the rector so it may be a week or so before you have a reply.

If you copy e-mails to me, I can keep abreast of developments without Jenny having to update me or pass on any chores that arise.

I don't know of a marching band but will make enquiries and let you know.

Thank you for passing on the info. about the course.

By strange coincidence, I was thinking of the tree surgeon yesterday as I drove out of Goldings Lane, all the leaves are off the chestnuts and I thought that the tree officer can now see what the tree surgeon did and hoped that he hadn't left any split branches on view.

Best wishes,

Malcolm

At the last reunion, cleaning the bench in Waterford I was speaking to Malcolm, the Verger of Waterford Church. He explained to me that he is a member of a clock restoring group, and last year the group were left a considerable amount of money by a Barnardo Old Boy, to use for the training of a young disabled service man in the art of clock restoring.After 12 months trying to find someone with a military background and not being very successful, he has now asked me to put the offer to a young person connected to Barnardo's or a child of a Barnardo Girl or Boy. I did ask around the Hall at the Reunion but it was a very busy day.
If anyone out there knows of some young disabled person connected to the Military or Barnardo's please contact me and I will the put them in contact with Malcolm.
They are looking for someone in or around the London area as the training facility is in this area.
