A few little stories from Dick Lang
"In my time at Goldings inspection of the dorm was done by a senior boy,who would throw a penny onto your folded sheets/blankets,and if it didn't bounce enough for him to catch it he would tip it up and you had to start again"
"One day we were on parade when two boys had got onto the top of the tower and pelted us with conkers,they were caned"
"At chapel we always used to get on the back pew and read our comic's while Corbett did the sermons.One Sunday Corbett spotted us,and without saying anything slowly walking up the aisle towards us but slowly lowering his voice so it seemed to us he was still at the altar,came up behind us and gave us a bang on the back of our heads!"
"At one of our suppers we always had what we thought was smelly cheese and a apple,so the one time we pre arranged with all the boys after we had done our "for all we are about to receive..." to throw this cheese at one of the masters,I think it was Reg Purkis (or as we called him ..RAGS..cause he always seemed scruffy) at the appointed time we all stood up and threw it at him,Joe Patch restored order!" (looking back it was good quality cheese,but to us it smelled like sweaty socks!)
"I think most of us can recall the infamous porridge "Pongy" which did vary in strength on a daily basis,but one day it was really thick,so all of us turned our plates over,removed the plate which exposed the "pongy" looking like a jelly and all walked out"
A few little incidents from the early 50's that looking back made the place so enjoyable Dick Lang.

Hi guys, just a quick reminder our annual pre-reunion summer get together this year is on Saturday 1st August. All who can make it are welcome,and for those who live to far to go back home or are over the limit can stay over night.
Somerset boys will stay in Dave's loft conversion, with en suites, Aberdeen, Cairns and Pelham boys dorm will be in Daves large comfortable lounge, and Macandrew boys can sleep on the floor in the garage or the garden shed, who cares its up to you. Its pay back time for when you had curtains and radiators and we had neither.
Reveille will be at 6/30 as Dave likes to sleep in on Sundays.
The ablutions will be open for Macandrew boys from 7am for 15 mins, after Mal has done the dorm inspection.
Mal said if you did not like the cheap Tesco beer Dave got last year you can bring your own.
Daves dog Saxon is nightwatchman, so well betide any Misbehavers.
Like boys who can't hold their beer, like our Paul, has one and he's on his back. Saxon will keep him warm.
Breakfast can be part-taken in Macdonalds in near by Birmingham from 8/30. at your own expense. Keep the bill, and at the October re-union, when Peters had one to many, give it to him and say he forgot to pay.
Looking forward to seeing you all, and if you don't turn up "I'll see you after!"
