John Sansom(SAM)1946-1949 No 12 Dave all I can remember about the Honours Boards is they were for football and cricket,and showed the first teams for a certain year and the individuals in those teams. John S 7 June 2013 - HertfordJ ANGELL Dave after reading the front page about scraping backy tins, sometimes with Golden Virginia I remember some boys had scraped all the print off to leave only the word [Golden vigin] and in the rizla packets there was a rizla stating only 5 leafs left, there was a pot plant in the front hall someone had pulled all the leaves off but 5 and stuck the only 5 leaves left rizla on to the plant, and it was not me.

Also I am trying to piece together a detailed picture of the "Honours Boards" and what was on them? I remember the Gold Lettering but not any details of the writing which was in the hallway by the stone steps down to the kitchen,and how many years did the writing go back? Ideas and memory recalls would be welcome.We have now started to put the Goldonians on the site 67-64 so far,click on Goldonian on the front page. 6 June 2013 Emails received Dave Are there any records of boys from the 1930's? My wife's grandfather was there then, William Thomas Harris. Thanks and kind regards Tony Bourn Some additional info: 1. Grandad was normally know as "Bill" and probably had a Norfolk accent as he had been "boarded out" to Necton in Norfolk. 2. There is a photograph of him attached with a chap who we believe is called Harold Cann and we think that this is at Goldings? We have attached a picture from the same day of Grandad on his own as it shows more of the building. 1933 is shown on the back. 3. There is another picture labelled 1933 which is a postcard that he clearly intended to send to the family he was "boarded out" to, but it seems he never sent it. This says that he and his friend (name unknown) have just been swimming, again we believe that this is during his time at Goldings. 4. We think Grandad was at Goldings in 1933-35. It also seems that another lad James (Jimmy) Symes was also boarded out at the farm in Necton. He was three years older than Grandad and would therefore have been born in 1915, we do not know if he went to Goldings. Is there any was to see Goldings these days, we understand that it has been converted into residential housing? Thank you for your help. Kind regards Tony Bourn 6 June 2013 <<< 1 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 1150 >>> You can search this guestbook by: Message : - Name : - All : Please type some text: - Guest book sponsored by PC Home Help (01922) 626 366 - http://www.pchomehelp.net -
