Dave Happy birthday to Winston Norton have a great day. Also many thanks for representing us at this years Goldings under 14s Cup final in St Albans, 13 March 2016 Dave 62-65 I received a call today from the manager of the White Horse Hotel telling me that the Hotel is due to close in May. The land has been sold to build houses and the hotel is going to be scaled down to a small seven roomed hotel. This of course means we cannot stay there in October for our Reunion. There are options: I have rang the Salisbury Arms Hotel Tel No (01992) 583091 in Hertford and they have said they can accommodate us but there are no DISCOUNTS for group bookings!! also there are rooms at the Novotel in Stevenage with the same rates we received at the White Horse. I have today booked into the Salisbury Arms.Rates are £95-00 per night double, Single is £50-00 per night.week days £105 for a double) I am working through the list of everyone booked in the White Horse and will be contacting you all by phone but some of you may already have been informed by the manager of The White Horse already, any more news and I will be in touch here on the Guest Book Dave 12-3016 12 March 2016 David Wheatley | david@dfwconsulting.freeserve.co.uk I remember Mr Marchant well so he must have still been alive until the early 1950's. I also remember the football match against Ware Minors as I was the Goldings Linesman aged 15 years old! 10 March 2016 - Witley, Surrey Dave Carol, Mr Marchant was the Bandmaster at Stepney and the band was used also to recruit for the First World War. He was asked by Dr Barnardo's to run the Band at Goldings when it opened in April 1922. They caught the train to Hertford, they laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in Hertford they then marched up the North Road to Goldings. His daughter started to court a Golding’s boy who was also at Stepney, being a Dr Barnardo boy. They got married at Golding's with a band playing in the music gallery at Goldings, which was above the Governor's office. Talking to an old member of Staff they weren't very happy with their daughter marrying a Dr Barnardo boy, but as it turned out they were happily married until they both passed away. Mr and Mrs Maslin supported the School until Mr Maslin passed away in 1965. They were both well respected by the boys, and many of the Old Boys of today weren't aware that Mr Maslin was also a Dr Barnardo Boy. His job at Goldings was the School Bursar, but he was also very popular as he gave out the pocket money on a Saturday!! Mrs Maslin did so much work for Goldings and was supporting in many ways to the boys and she was so respected. I believe Mr Marchant passed away in the 30's .I hope this helps a little in your research, Regards Goldings Old Boys.
