Bob and Roma Hi Dave and Mel as l sit in my new office at the Albany site, going over the great time at the reunion, and it looks like every one had a great time, well done and keep up the good work, (Now you’ve found how to do it, I don't know what happened, but Dave you did not have it in Somerset) Well done for showing us how to do it Bob and Roma 21 October 2009 Dave Hello John No 12, this is 22. In answer to your question, Jo Sheppard is a school teacher who has been following the build up we now have of artefacts from Goldings and what long term should we do with them! and as we discussed all that was in Hertford Museum about Goldings was a table tennis bat which surely doesn't reflect the impact the school had in Hertford and surrounding area's in its days, but like most things it will cost! and Jo has found a goverment sponsored funding which is available for this very reason, so she intends to apply for this funding (£35,000-50,000) on our behalf which would allow us if succesful the means to have a permanent display about Goldings for future generations to recall it's undoubted success long after it's demise. Jo's father was a former Barnardo boy who also came to Goldings in 1935, trained as a cabinet maker, was a member of the first eleven football and cricket team (totally unknown to me until reading the "Goldonian") who later returned to Goldings as a school teacher, and when I was there he was headmaster of the school block, and was also offered the post of headmaster of the school when Mr Wheatley retired but declined to take up love of painting (look on personalities and at the bottom of the page staff) Jo like most of us recalls the happy childhood she spent at Goldings of which many us I'm also sure can recall, so it appears that she wants to continue reminding people of the fine work that was carried out at Goldings on our behalf and to share it with the general public, so good luck Jo. 21 October 2009 - One foot in the Museum door we hope ANGELL | tonythegardener@aol.com HI Dave and all, Today when I was sweeping leaves off an astroturf lawn, for a customer, for some reason I rememberd a pot plant in Goldings, well it was more like a small bush. One of the boys had pulled all the leaves off apart from 5. Then they had stuck a note out of a risler packet saying "only 5 leaves left". Anyhow now it's autumn I think I'll get a Leaf Blower. 20 October 2009 - LONDON John Sansom(Sam) | john.sansom@tesco.net Hi Dave When Jo Sheppard says she wants to "secure funding for the artifacts," what does she mean John S 20 October 2009 - Hertford Woody | fjwoody@talktalk.net I apologise for the delay in the update on the Half-Marathon. I am pleased and proud to let you all know that Marina completed the run, just as any Morris Marina would. She reached her total of £1,000. Was interviewed by someone from Barnardos and the local Television Station. I will try and get these interviews to add to our site, but if our Web Master can influence those that conducted the interviews, and get more feedback from them, that would be great. Marina is toying with the idea of a short walk for her next fund raiser, from Ely Cardiff to Ely Cambridgeshire. This will take some time to organise, and gain some idea of exactly what is involved. But sounds an interesting project, and one that I may participate partially in! Once again, many warm thanks to all you friends out there. A proud dad and Goldings boy. 19 October 2009 - The Fens <<< 1 722 723 724 725 726 727 728 729 730 731 732 733 734 735 736 737 738 739 740 741 742 1149 >>> You can search this guestbook by: Message : - Name : - All : Please type some text: - Guest book sponsored by PC Home Help (01922) 626 366 - http://www.pchomehelp.net -
