Tony I have been through the guest book for any address or contact number but it appears he didn't sign it.I have also gone back on the old visitors book (1990-2002)but nothing! I do know he was talking to Dixie Dean who I will ring tonight at the reunion,after that I'm struggling unless any one else can help?

Right then No8, Roy Capon came to Goldings in August 1957.He was member of Aberdeen,and Pop was the housemaster.He was taught Sheetmetal Work in Mr DeBoecks shop and the official write up when he entered Goldings says from Boarding Out!
He was Senior Winner in Winter 1960 of the Sheetmetal Award,and he also gained his Drumming Certificate with the band.He left in December 1961 described as Trade situation (apprentice).
I cannot source his house number or if he was in receipt of the Goldings delicacie's,that special meat ration? given to us with the porridge,but if he was I'm sure he will recall it with horror as I did!
Footnote...Now the old house has gone up market with clientele it is rumoured that the little blighters keep falling in their caviar!!!

HALLOWE'EN AND HOGMANAY
|
As I watched the children's faces shining in the bonfire's blaze on 5th November, I thought back on my own childhood in Scotland. But at this time of year (31st October actually), we used to celebrate, not Gunpowder Plot, but Hallowe'en, or the eve All Hallow. Naturally we looked forward to the occasion and prepared well in advance. We made false faces and fancy dresses, and lanterns from hollowed-out turnips. We brushed up our "party piecess" Which we would sing or recite to our friends and parents to earn the traditional apple or penny. But the climax was our Hallowe'en party, and what a time we had. Our large kitchen was cleared, a big tin bath was produced and filled with water, and lots of red, juicy apples were dropped in. They were given a good "swirl" and then the age-old "dookin for apples" began. We each tried in turn to fork an apple or to lift one out of the bath by biting it and holding it between our teeth. Then we jumped to bite the "treacle scone" suspended almost out of reach, or dug our spoons into the tub of mashed potatoes, hoping that we should be lucky enough to find a silver coin. The party ended, as always, with our turning off the lights, lighting our home-made lanterns and drawing up our chairs to listen to eerie ghost stories in the flickering firelight—always a little bit afraid of the shadows outside our half-circle.
