Hi Dave, It's a great idea and it would be nice to see images of our past around Goldings.
I spent many happy hours in the(new) swimming pool and it was excellent exercise for those of us with Polio etc.
It would also be a great idea to try and meet with some of the residents and Eugene Flannery to explain what Goldings meant to so many of us.
As I suggested some time ago, sending a formal invitation to all the residents to attend our reunion would be a great way of building bridges.
Now I have retired, I have a little more time to spare and if I can help in any way Dave, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

There is two projects I would like to try and complete this year.
1 To seek permission to place around Goldings grounds at specific and relevant areas, housed in metal or hardwood displays, images of it's past and place's of historial interest when it was William Baker Technical School.
I.E. Where we had the Swimming Pool(Both the one in the river,and then the new one)Hard Tennis Courts ect.
I have already approached the Mayor with the idea as there is a public footpath around the grounds,or failing that talk to the residents and the owner (Eugene Flannery)as I am sure many would be interested of it's past!
2 Now a few of our lads have become friends to some of the residents,would they on the day of the re-union allow some of the senior lads a interior walk around Goldings but at the same time respecting their privacy..lets give it a try as I am sure they would be interested in the stories they hold!

The Lovers

We were out on Saturday in the Castle Grounds and looking for the local talent! and there was a group of girls sitting on the park bench so we sat on the one opposite.One started to cough and splutter,when out popped her eye,and Tony Angell caught it.After that the rest of us were blown out but Tony got on with this girl like a house on fire.Me,Peter,and Brian went back to Goldings because it was getting near time for us to be back but Tony stayed out with her.He took her to the County Cinema,bought her ice creams and really went overboard with the "lovey dovey stuff".We waited up for him as he was now out of bounds.
When he finally came back sneaking over the "Bridge's" and into the dorm we enquired how he'd got on.
He told us he "Wined and Dined" her and had spent all his pocket money on her,well we all thought he'd fell in "love" because none of us would have spent all of our 2/9d on one "bird".
Then he told us how well they got on,when he said to her "Do you always go out with boys so soon after meeting" "No" she said "only the one's that catch my eye!"

A new lad entered Goldings,and like all of us was sent to Mr Wheatley's study to be given instruction's as to what was expected of him in his time spent at Goldings,then he was told about "Skips Band" and how he was looking for new recruits.At this he was asked what was his favourite instrument? Now the new boy must have been 16 stone and he was only 12,but he thought very deeply about this question then bellowed out "The dinner bell sir!
