Just been speaking to Neville Fletcher from Macandrew 1960-64 about the old days at Goldings,and these stories he asked me to share with others.
When Princess Margaret visited Goldings to open Macandrew Wing special cakes were ordered from Hertford for the occasion as I don't think "Old Jacks" baking was quite up to Royal Standards,and as she went round Macandrew she bent down to one of my friends and whispered "I should eat as many cakes as you can because I'm led to beleive after I,ve left they are being sent back to the shop!" At this all the boys started stuffing cakes in their coat pockets!
At the time I was in sick bay because my mother won an L.P. Chubby Checker with the "Twist" on,and we had a competion in the Gym to see who could be the best "Twister" and I won it but was rushed up to sick bay with torn ligaments!
Who can recall wheeling out the fire hose's for inspection,stretching them down the spiral staicase,and along the Hallway with others,and about 4-5 senior boys bringing out the fire cart from the doors at the bottom of the tower by the dining room with a generator,and water tank on the cart with Skipper and Nobby Clarke in charge as we pulled it towards the lawn by Mr Wheatley's study,Nobby Clarke starting it up and to test it we trained it on the lawn,but sometimes we sprayed Pinheads windows! "Sorry Sir,it was to powerful" Happy Days.

Bob, do you know you can hire an ensuite room in one of the cottages on the green at Barkingside? I don't know what the rates are but if you contact making connections they will sort you out. They are their for the use of staff attending meetings etc and for old boys and girls wishing to stay. Look forward to seeing you at the reunion.
