We have received news today that Ken Grethe has passed away.Ken was the person to contact to book the hall for our re-unions,and I must say he was very supportive to us and always rang shortly after the previous re-union to make sure we were first in booking the hall that gave us priority over everyone else with the date of our choosing.He was also a member of the Goldings Bowls Team,not a Goldings Old Boy but was a friend to many Old Boys and Staff locally,and supported us in many ways.
Ken Grethe R.I.P.

The message below is from a member of Staff who was revered by us,and was very active in supporting the re-unions well before I came on the scene.
Dave, Continuing the theme suggested by Reg Longman. I arrived at Goldings from the North East on Thursday 24th. May 1956. Loved the place so much, decided to stay. Until the powers that be made a disastrous mistake and kicked me and everyone else out some eleven years later in 1967 However, the reunion every year means they still cannot get rid of me.

Hi Dave – your entry about yourself is very interesting. On the day of your birth (March 1947), no doubt but that you were made to cry, by having your bum slapped. Believe it or not, it’s quite possible that on that very day I may have been crying too – from receiving ‘cuts’ from dear old Pinhead for something or other I had done wrong at Goldings.
I too, in many ways, was an unruly boy. But then, I was stupid enough to tell the whole world by writing my book.
Fortunately I also came under the guidance of Mr Wheatley who I’m quite sure straightened me out. Believe me when I say that during my over 80 years, two people left a lasting impression on me. The first being Winston Churchill, but sharing this pinnacle of admiration for me, is undoubtedly good old Pinhead.
Well done Dave, I hope everyone identifies the years – (1962 – 1965) they were at Goldings. It certainly would be interesting for me and no doubt others.
Regards Reg
