It appears Robert that you may not have been to Goldings.
While I appreciate that is your opinion, and I welcome your input, many but not all were very happy with there lot at Goldings hence the reason for our re-unions, and also to meet former Staff.
Whilst I will never condone the treatment it appears you suffered I would appreciate if you could direct it to the correct organisation Barnardo's, I think you may find the full address on our "past the sell by date" site somewhere or failing that forward it to Barnardo's Web-Site or if you like I can copy it for you and hand over to them as they also attend our re-union. I wish you health and happiness in your retirment and take on board your opinion as this site is not censored! Dave.

It is about time to forget everything about goldings, I see the Goldings web site is well past its sell by date, there is no doubt we were all subjected to tremendous hardship, abuse,bulling,deprived of normal? family upbring. When I first entered D,B AS AN INNOCENCT CHILD and beaten by my parents,incidently well respected war medals ect, and all that, en-trusted to Dr Barnado,s for protection, within two days of being in care five years old I was beaten with a cane,this I considered nornmal in those days,... it was normal

As you walked through the rear entrance door the boards you mentioned were on the wall opposite you at the bottom of the main straircase, when I did my "time" 46/49, they were very impressive and it was very nice to see ones name up there. Looking forward to seeing you and everybody on the day

John, I didn't know that about the boards,as when I was there we had in the reception area,behind were the bugler "gave us instructions for the day" was the honours boards gilt lettering which has also vanished along with the stained glass windows in the chapel.Perhaps in later years they may turn up on the other side of the water like they did for Watts Naval College which were in honour of the young man from Watts who went down with the Titanic! Lets hope one day the mystery will be revealed from powers that hold the clue's "or was that a blue moon I saw in the sky last night?" don't hold your breath?
