It's probably a bit premature of me so shortly after the loss of Jim,but the re-union requires a treasurer who can hopefully continue the work so ably carried out by Jim,I can't assume that Joan will carry the flame for Jim,which would be my answer to the situation.We must never put the re-union in the position it was a few years ago were one person controlled the bank and signing of cheques.So we need five signature's,and any two can sign cheques with the agreement of the following three.This situation is open to anybody who feels that they can suggest any other system that they feel is simpler..I leave that with all of you or possibly discuss it at the re-union for those that are not on computer.In the meantime I will pay outstanding monies by my own personel cheque's untill it has been agreed,as I don't at this stage intend to bother Joan with what appears trivial after her loss of Jim.I can bank cheques at the moment,but withdrawals can only be made by John Sansom,who you must not expect to run around for us without the help of Jim,and John Hunt who we also sadly lost since the last re-union.Just bear in mind that it is very practical to have somebody in Hertford to carry out bookings and many other chores which enables the re-unions to take place,and take place they will in honour of all Goldings boys and staff who are no longer with us.
Jim's funeral was certainly well represented by many Goldings boys??and the many friends he had outside of Goldings connections.I only knew Jim myself from the last few years,which is strange really because he was a Print Master when I was at Goldings,and one time we did re-call when in 1964 when I was in the team that played the annual match up top field between boys and staff we pondered over both our photo's from that year in the Goldonian,and he looked me in the eye and said "Was you in the team that year" I said "Yes Jim there's me in the team photo" he quickly replied "If I knew that was you then, I would have kicked you all round the pitch!!" "Jimmy you will be sadly missed"

What a wonderfull turn out for Jim from Goldings old boys, and all his other friends. I thought David Wheatleys tribute was so thoughtfully done. A sad day for all, but made bearable by a collection of lifelong friends paying their last respects. We shall all miss Jim and our thoughts are with Joan and the family. Rest in peace Jim

Hello Alan,and all,I shall be in Hertford late this afternoon all being well.I am sorting out the hall and clarify the directions as there appears some confusion.I shall pop round to the hall and then to the chippie that Jim was dealing with,just to re-assure unfortunately that the "Show" goes on in Jimmy's memory,and will continue to do so in honour of the many old boys and staff who supported us in our once a year return to Hertford to re-kindle our friendships and luck to once be a resident of probaly the best home that Dr Barnardo's founded.Dave
