BOBBY MAC 1962 66 Alan the answer to your question is the snooker table finished up in the old boys hut.Also last week was the week we began training for Wimbledon. 30 April 2008 - Roasting my socks off,how about you? Alan Dearman 1955-59 | alan.dearman@ntlworld.com Cant't argue with you Pop as Table Tennis was your game. I know that the conservatory did contain a snooker table at one time because I spent a lot of my miss spent youth in there when I first went to Goldings and it was also where I learned(in a fashion) to play the piano. I can also remember we would burn any old rubbish on the stove to keep warm. Can anyone remember What happened to the snooker table when the room later became the table tennis room? Room 6 was the lounge but I new it as the quiet room. I only spent one christmas at Goldings but I can remember an open fire in there, can you remember it Pop? Look forward to seeing you at the next reunion, so in the mean time take good care of yourself 29 April 2008 - Nottingham Nixons choir Where's the Pantry We're looking for the Pantry But the Pantry is nowhere to be found We looking for it here!

Pop 29 April 2008 - Looking for the Pantry Alan Dearman 1955-59 | alan.dearman@ntlworld.com Hi Dave I may be 66 in a few weeks time but the old grey matter is still working and I hope the following is of help but if anyone feels I need correcting, feel free to do so. ROOM 2 was the snooker room it also had a piano and a stove. ROOM 6 was used as a quiet room and I remember a log fire in there one Christmas. ROOM 11 I'm sure was a part of pin heads study. ROOM 13 was the office with the pay hatch. at some point it must have been split into two as it was also the prefects room at the side of the stone steps and also had a billiard table. 14 was the hallway at the bottom of the spiral stone staircase and was used as a meeting area and had seating in the bay window. The house trophy's and a notice board were also in this area. ROOM 15 Staff room with billiard table. ROOM 16 Staff Pantry and just outside in the passage was a public phone box. ROOM 22 I'm sure was a laundry store room where the Thursday laundry change took part and it was the only time we were allowed to use the Oak staircase at the end of the stone passage. ROOM 24 Sowing room. With ref to the stone passage: anyone remember sitting in the bay window darning socks on Jankers? I had too, more then once!! 27 April 2008 - Nottingham <<< 1 868 869 870 871 872 873 874 875 876 877 878 879 880 881 882 883 884 885 886 887 888 1152 >>> 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 -
