Dave,

I'm not an old boy, but someone who worked there for 9 years until 1995.

But I am an athlete, a road runner to be precise, and on the site you asked if anyone knew what the markings are on the boys' vests.

Well, to my slightly experienced eye, they are pinned on numbers.

The chap who is crossing the line has had his number fold back on itself so that only a 'chevron' of the dark side can be seen.
Why they were pinned on with a diamond effect, I don't know...although it might mean you only needed two safety pins.

Dave,
Cannot help re markings on the shirts on Sports Day. There wasn't much sponsorship in those days. Seeing that the photos are black and white, it is possible the squares etc. on the shirts were different colours to signify which House was which. I can with the help of my stack of Goldonians put names to the photos. The one on the left is Terry Cooper winning the Junior Long Jump. Top photo on the right is R. Watkins winning the Senior Mile. The bottom one is Chris Mitchell being presented with the Senior Victor Ludorum. Somerset won the Senior Cup and Kinnaird the Junior.
1959 was the year I was away from Goldings doing a Home Office course at the Garden City, Woodford Bridge. However I was back at Goldings at the weekends during the football season to play for the Old Boys.

For the Quiff

If I could have an email address I'd gladly send a mail with size included. I would be honoured to wear it. While training I can wear it to advertise.. On the day they are supplying us with Barnardos Running vests (so they say) so I don't know what I can wear to show Goldings Support. Perhaps a band across one of my upper arms? Suggestions on a postcard hehe

The sponsorship may need to
