After our meeting at the bank and visiting other banks it appears, banks no longer do a no charges account for treasurers or club accounts, so I was only left with the option of closing our Goldings account, as the charges are £5 per month plus a charge for each transaction.
As I informed everyone in my last post our account cannot sustain these charges the bank wouldn’t budge on this as it due to new policies even though our account was over 20 years old.
So Goldings Old Boys Association account was closed. I had to open new a account in my name with several signatures.
Please till things are completely sorted do not write cheques made out to Goldings as they will no longer be accepted.
I will send out letters explaining shortly and will speak to everyone at the reunion

THE PAPER SHORTAGE
IF YOU'VE GOT A THOUGHT THAT'S HAPPY
BOIL IT DOWN.
MAKE IT SHORT AND CRISP AND SNAPPY
BOIL IT DOWN.
WHEN YOUR BRAIN ITS COIN HAS MINTED.
DOWN THE PAGE YOUR PEN HAS SPRINTED
IF YOU WANY YOUR EFFORT PRINTED..
BOIL IT DOWN
TAKE OUT EVERY SURPLUS LETTER
BOIL IT DOWN.
FEWER SYLLABLES THE BETTER..
BOIL IT DOWN.
MAKE YOUR MEANING CLEAR: EXPRESS IT
SO WE' KNOW NOT GUESS IT
THEN, MY FRIEND, ERE YOU ADDRESS IT..
BOIL IT DOWN.
CUT OUT ALL THE EXTRA TRIMMINGS..
BOIL IT DOWN.
SKIM IT WELL-THEN SKIM THE SKIMMINGS..
BOIL IT DOWN. WHEN YOU'RE SURE TWOULD BE A SIN TO CUT ANOTHER SENTENCE INTO.
SEND IT ON, AND WE'LL BEGIN TO
BOIL IT DOWN.
(This is the best bit of sarcasm we have seen, it it a common complaint of the school magazine editors)
THERE Is NOTHING much to laugh at these days, but we must confess to a feeling of compression rather than of depression.
