Hello Anne, thanks for visiting the site.You mention 1967 about the Verney, I think that was the time Mr Tordoff a Boot and Shoe master ran it.You are very welcome to our re-union and possibly you may meet up with some of the old Print boys that were there,assuming Barnardo's still owned it in that period that you were there.I am led to beleive that the Verney became a Old Folks Home after Barnardo's. It is now a private residence and has had extensive alterations to it. Mr and Mrs Newton (Teacher and P.T.I.) ran it when I was at Goldings (1962-65) and I was sent down there to help clean, as I was a Junior, and for my dinner was served up Gammon with Pineapple!! I thought it was a joke by the older Printers as I had never had that meal ever before, but it now become one of my favourites! Send us some more information of your time there if possible, in the meantime I will try to find out Printers from that time if they were still there when you was there,keep in touch,Dave.

I also remember you Les, I came to Goldings from a little boys home, as soon as the boys there were old enough to wear long trousers they were shipped of to Goldings. On my 1st morning in Somerset House 30th MAY 62, they came around to wake us all up, I jumped out of bed like we all did in the little boys home, to find all you lot still just laying there, so sitting on my bed for what seemed like 10 mins thinking whats going to happen now, you got out of bed in the alcove, sat there and lit up a fag, I was absoulutly gobsmacked to see a boy smoking in a boys home, I think your mate in the next bed was Buggsy. I know its a long way to come to a reunion but Bob Robertson has come over now and then, so who knows. Dave may have forgotten to tell you there is a photo of you leaving Goldings with a suitcase, I think you might find this photo on the site, if not i'll get Dave to put it on.
