Dave,
Thank you for putting the message on the site regarding the event at Ware, along with your kind words. I would also like to thank you for giving your support by attending, bringing some Golding's Memorabilia and a wonderful demonstration on how to use the bumper.
My sincere thanks also go to David Wheatley, who gave a wonderful account of his experience as a "Golding's boy".
I have received some excellent feedback from some members of the public who attended and they are more aware of what Golding's was all about. A total of £42.95 was collected via the Barnardo collection bucket placed on the table in addition to a £50.00 donation to Barnardo's from the Ware Town Council, for which I offer my Sincere thanks.
It was also nice to have a Mini reunion in the local pub beforehand and my thanks to those who attended.

It is with sadness to be informed of the passing of Heather Fogg (Local Hertford Historian) on April 7th 2014. When I was trying to get the bench installed at Waterford she was a tower of strength in helping me with support, and contact names which finally got us the green light. Along with Fred Barnes, she gave us tremendous help and local knowledge in locating and naming the boys who were buried in Waterford Cemetery and will be sadly missed by all. A card of condolence has been sent on behalf of the Old Boys and Staff.
There will be a memorial service for Heather at Waterford Parish Church Tuesday 22nd April at 2-30pm

The meeting at Ware went very well indeed,and David Wheatley made a stirring and emotional speech on his Father,and how proud he was of his Fathers work at Goldings (I think we all recognise now his sterling work)and a family which still meet each other every year even though it has been nearly sixty years since it closed,and he now considers himself an Old Boy which we all agree he has always been "one of us". Alan did a brilliant job on the history of Golding along with some of his own personal stories which enthralled the audience.My demonstration with the "Bumper" they found interesting,and my discovery! of the Kitchen Clock at Goldings brought laughter when someone, I think it was a speaker from Goldings suggested it wasn't quite found! but more of a Goldings trait! as someone did "digseye"
I also visited Denise and David (Goldings Residents) and was informed our famous footballer who owns the Chapel has now purchased our "Bottom Field" also, so maybe Sport may return to it.My thanks to Ellen and Brian Perrier for my sleeping and eating arrangements.Ware is now more aware of Goldings.
