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.

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
