Today I had my first meeting with Alan Blackburn, not in the best of health, but those who didn't know, Alan was a superb athlete at Corris House and Goldings and signed professional forms at 17 for West Ham, and I'm led to believe he did this signing down bottom field with all the boys in attendance(source Walter Watkins)His wife did say he had the choice of West Ham or Arsenal, but the agent for West Ham was more pressing, and her words not mine " But he should have signed for Arsenal!" She blames his present condition on his heading that heavy football throughout his career. He is married to his girlfriend from Much Wenlock who he met when he was in Corris House all those years ago. As he promised, as his wife said "He just turned up one day and said I told you I would come back!" She has promised me photo's later of him to post on the site. Alan Blackburn welcome back..Goldings.

At the Memorial Service further talents have now been "Discovered" by Lew Grade "The Andrews Sister?" Len Harpin and John Horn who have requested a musical interlude outside the Church along the lines of "Billy Cottons Band Show" with the world famous Organist from Blackpool,Reginald Dixon.If further "Talent" from Goldings comes forward we intend to call it the "The Z Factor Show" with Bob Robertson as Simon Cowell,with his trousers up to his shoulder blades and Alan Dearman as Cheryl Cole in "Drag" perhaps John Sansom as Piers Morgan! and to complete the line up Peter Drummond to add a little youth to the panel as Danni Minouge. The combined age of this lot comes to 1700 years give or take a month!

I read Keith Tovells(Elkins) story with great interest, it was well written, sad at times but very uplifting. I do hope Keith can get to the reunion.
I smile when I read of the antics and escapades the Goldings boys got up to, I often wonder if I really was at the same school as them. I know the staff wasn't aware of half the boys got up to, but we knew twice as much as the boys thought. See you all in October.

Thanks for your comments Alan,Although I don't remember your face I do recall a boy wearing a leg iron and that you were quite a spunky guy because I use to admire you because you seemed to attemp most sports,I was always a bit timid and shy, and although I would have a go was not that good at sport. I also remember and liked Dave Kimber and remember his eczema being quite bad at that time,are you still in contact with him? It was nice to see you at the Village although only for a short time even though I was a bit nervous, being it was my first Barnardos reunion "shame on me" But looking forward to the Goldings Reunion in October. What a Web site love reading the stories and profiles oh what memories they bring back, even though I don't know many from my time.Anyway take care and speak to you soon. Regards Keith
