Hello Dave thank you very much for the Goldings DVD/Video,that I received on the 6'th,Aug. I did enjoy watching it, it did bring back a few memories. Are there any more DVDs for sale I did see some on the website but I cant find them, there are a few that I did see. Let me know of any cost for the DVD I will gladly cover any cost.
I will not be able to come to the Reunion in October owing to ill health. I have COPD,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,Emphysema. I get very short of breath. I will try and come. Anyway Dave thanks again, let me know of any costs, and of any more DVDS. I will be in touch soon. Regards Richard.

I had a very pleasant Saturday afternoon at the Corris House reunion as Fred Barnes guest. The first time a Reunion has been held back in the house itself. Lots of old boys,staff, and locals meeting up again after many years and for Fred,nearly 65 years!. If Sheena is looking in(Organiser on behalf of Wheatlands Care Home) I would like to thank her, and her staff, for all the hard work they did to make it a such a wonderful success.
It was also great to see a couple of Goldings Boys who were also Corris House old boys, present on the day.
Bill Roe, Henry Peet, Bob Woodward, and Walter Watkins, and then as I have previously stated our visit to Alan Blackburn for me made it such an enjoyable day.
I have a couple of photos and will be putting them on later in the week.

Had a very pleasant phone call this morning from Sid Keeling Goldings 1935-38 MaCall House.He helped dig out our "New" swimming pool in 1938 and most of the rubble was scattered on the nearby field,and when they first filled it "the tiles fell off" because they hadn't given enough time for them to set! they had lots of problems in the early days with the pool.In them days the Governor did the church service (Macdonald)and if you passed him around the grounds you had to salute him! Sends his apologies for not attending the re-union due to the fact he is 90 this year and lives in Northern Ireland but sends his warm wish's to us all.I am sending him photo copies of the Goldonian 35-38 along with the D.V.D.

Since talking to his wife (Alan Blackburn)she tells me he also played with some of the "Busby Babes" in his National Service days,mainly Duncan Edwards (who incidently hailed down the road from me, Dudley, and is still revered in the Black Country)Eddie Coleman,and as she says "many of them that perished in the Munich Disaster"

Dave, I remember meeting Alan Blackburn many years ago after I left Golding. Although I did not know Alan at Goldings, I knew of him.
Alan played for Halifax Town against Forest at the City Ground in the Second round of the league cup on 6th October 1960 with Forest winning 2-0. In those days these games were played in midweek before flood lights were installed. I remember going to the players dressing room after the game and introducing myself to Alan. We spent about 15 minutes chatting about our times at Goldings and I remember Alan telling me that Mr Wheatley was his biggest influence.
I did a similar thing many years later when Justin Fashanu, an ex Barnardo boy, joined forest and remained friends with him for a long time. I also had a big bust up with Brian Clough over the way he treated Justin, who as we all know, took his own life.
