Well it would be Dymchurch time at Goldings.
On a personal note I only visited Dymchurch once, it was in 1962 which was my first year at Goldings. That same year I went on holiday with my previous home, and was instructed to travel down to Dymchurch after my holiday in Wales.
Consequently I only really spent two weeks at Dymchurch throughout my stay at Goldings. My memories of Dymchurch are quite clouded now, what little bit I can remember is sitting on the beach with Nobby Clark, and some of the lads looking out to sea he pointed, and told us that’s part of the new power station being towed into Dungeness, also our visit to Lydd Airport, and my introduction to the game of Hockey. Since I’ve obtained my records from Barkingside I’ve since discovered The cost of the train ticket from Walsall via Birmingham via Paddington to New Romney was £2 14s 7d, and was paid by Walsall Council which I didn’t know, till I read my records.

A Wimbledon Story

I think 1964, Wimbledon, That was a good time too,
THAT WAS A GOOD TIME TOO, I ONCE GOT AN ACE IN THE B*!#@ FROM ROD LAVER, (I MIGHT HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT THIS YEARS AGO, NOT SURE!) ON CENTRE COURT, I WENT DOWN, AND THERE WAS THIS BIG "GROAN" FROM THE CENTRE COURT CROWD.., (I WAS ONLY COVERING ANOTHER GUY AS A ONE OFF, AS I WAS USUALLY ATTACHED IN THAT PARTICULAR YEAR TO NUMBER ONE COURT) BLIMEY I THOUGHT, DISGRACED AND EMBARRASSED FOREVER IN MY DEBUT ON CENTRE COURT...! THEN I HEARD A VOICE, (R.S.M. HUTCHINSON.., CADET DRILL INSTRUCTOR FROM BATTL"1 HQ),..IN MY HEAD, SAYING.. "STRAIGHTEN-UP-LAD,-YOUR- ON-PARADE.."!, AND I PULLED UP, IN AGONY AND LOOKED UP, WITH THIS AUDIE MURPHY, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, TRUE GRIT, AND THE FLIPPIN CENTRE COURT CROWD STARTED CLAPPING, (ME MUM WAS WATCHING IT ON TV, SHE SAID AT FIRST, SHE WAS READY TO EMIGRATE HER VILLAGE.., AND THEN WHEN I STOOD UP, SHE REACHED FOR THE GUINESS! GREAT BALLS OF FIRE,! HE WON, (LAVER) AND GAVE ME HIS RAQUET, WHICH I USED AS A WALKING STICK TO WALK OFF COURT! (IT’S ALL TRUE REALLY!)
BYE FOR NOW,

Message from Dave Fall

Hi David
Hopefully you remember me from Goldings - it was after all, about 100 years ago!
Sue and I did manage to attend one of the Reunions about 5 years ago where it was great to meet up with a few Old Boys and chat about the ‘old days.’
My reason for dropping you a note was to enquire into a fellow printer : Derek Hammond …
We did meet up and have kept in touch on a casual basis - but haven’t heard from him for about 12 months … might you have heard anything from Derek H from Australia, more recently perhaps …
We can only hope that we may be able to make it together later this year; around October if I’m not mistaken …
Best Regards
Dave and Sue Fall
