As I recall at spring 55 there were 4 juniors and 4 seniors.
Juniors = Buxton, Pelham, McCall,Kinnaird
Seniors = Somerset, Cairns, Aberdeen, Mount Stephen.I thought these were still the houses when I left at Christmas 1957,or has my memory gone. Welcome home Richard I really think I should know you. I was in Buxton then Somerset, where all the best were placed. See you all in October, safe journey Aussie Bob.

Interesting subject, we called them "Coggie sets", made our own with bits we bought from others, and couldnt believe it when it worked!! Its nice to see the web site bringing old boys together again after many years, long may it last!

Yes Richard the lucky few had sets we kept them in shoe boxes like you at 73 my memory is not to good, as a printer I remember being on the committee that ran the tuck shop at the old boys hut by the chapel Inky Stevenson was the master in charge we had to shut it down due to continueing break ins and theft (to think Goldings boys would do such a thing)Richard are you going to make the Reunion

Hello Dave,
Thank you for your warm welcome to the Guest Book, I hope to be on parade again soon. I am most impressed with the site. I have enjoyed exploring it, and look forward to exploring it some more. But I wish I could remember more about Goldings. I think I might be wrong on this one, did we used to make crystal sets, so that we could listen to the radio. You needed a component called the cats whisker and a set of head phones with other parts. How we obtained them I dont know. Maybe you could reserch this and find out if we had crystal sets at Goldings, or maybe some of the lads would know. I thought I would mention it for a bit of interest. Do you sell the Goldings lapel badge or ties. I think the first house I was in at Goldings, was Pelham. It was great talking to you the other day on the phone. Thanks for now all the best, with regards. Richard.
