Further to my recent posting on Barnardo Talks. As we live in a small world, I am no longer surprised who I may come accross during my travels. At the end of my latest presentation today for the Enderby U3A group, I had a long and interesting chat with a guy who approached me at the end of my talk as he was interested in my mention of Wimbledon and the Goldings Ball Boys. The person in question was "Roy(Bobby)Wilson, the former Tennis player. During his playing career in the 50s & early 60s he was a member of the British Davies cup team and partnered "Billy Knight. He also reached the Wimbledon Q-Finals 4 times and had some success in the US open. Players he met during his playing coreer include, Sven Davidson, Drobny, Ashley Cooper, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, and Bob Hewitt to mention just a few. There must be some of you out there who were Ball Boy's at some of his matches. Only had a quick luck on our site and found some referance by my old mate Bill Charlton who ball boyed one of his matches in the late 1950s.
It was a interesting chat and only wish that I had longer to chat with him. So.............over to you guys for your memories!!

Well done Alan,and Keith I can't thank you enough for visiting Rodney Mitchell,but we must have others in the area who could visit him which would surely give him the support from us to help lift his spirit's, so over to you Alan and Barnardo's, lets show him that we were all brothers who take care of each other! and Barnardo's really care! to give him our time with a short but very welcome visit from another Goldings Old Boy.
P.S. Peter Drummond (60's) has promised a call.
