Richard, when you came into Goldings Spring 1955 there was 3 junior house,s Kinnaird,Buxton,and Pelham.Then there was 4 Senior House's,Somerset(the best house and happened to be mine)Cairns,Mount Stephen,and the newly formed house McCall.Yes we did have crystal sets,sometimes made by the staff,when I arrived the Transistor Radio was becoming popular mid 60's which bought about the demise of the crystal set,but I have obtained one off e-bay which is displayed at the re-union.I have put together a package for you to post shortly which will help you with your memories! fond I hope of Goldings!All our best regards from "Dickies"

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.
