I remember Betsy Corbett very well indeed. As Victor says, a charming lady. As far as Staff are concerned, of course, Cliff (Pop) Steele is still very much with us and long may it be so!

Hi Dave,
I have submitted the application to cut back the branches overhanging the war memorial and the memorial bench. I am away for 5 weeks from early November and expect the tree officer will want a site meeting so this probably won't go ahead until the New Year and then the process takes some time. I will keep you posted.

I am still trying to work my way around your web site and hope to add some posts soon. I was at Goldings 51-54 and I recognise all the names in your reply to Charles Coley dated 15 October 2015.
However, the main reason for contacting you today is to belatedly report the sad passing of Betsy Corbett on 4th March 2015. I visited her on a few occasions at her house in Ludlow and contacted her on the phone once or twice a year. I phoned today and her number was unobtainable. My worst fears were confirmed with a follow up call to St Lawrence Church Ludlow.
Many old boys will remember the Rev Corbett and perhaps Mrs Corbett when she braved injury at the monthly dance sessions in the gym. She was a lovely lady and at 93 years old she was as bright as a button, although she said she was a little forgetful.
I can’t help feeling she is the last of the staff members of my era and would appreciate any information to the contrary.
PS.
It was my intention to add just one picture of Betsy and me taken a few years ago but when I used your web site search facility to find Corbett, it returned a nil result. I have therefore attached a further two photos. One of Rev Corbett and one of Betsy Corbett when she was at Goldings. Included in the last one is Mr Tordoff and possibly his wife.
Regards
Victor King

Hi everyone,
Just returned on Monday from spending a wonderful week in Portugal with David and Dawn Barlow in preparation of my Chemo which begins tomorrow at the Leicester R.I. and continues next week but not before I have been able to attend a National Council meeting at Barkingside.
On Tuesday, I had a nice phone chat with Reg Longman in Canada. Although I had already received the news from David Wheatley at the reunion, It was sad to hear that Reg is suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and confined to bed.
I'm sure we all wish Reg all the best for the future
