Hello Dave, as much as I would love to have come to the Reunion Dinner this year I cannot due to health issues which prevent me from coming. I am 92 years now, and cannnot get about like I used to. I was in Mt. Stephen house withMr. Wheatley as the Headmaster. I have many happy memories of my time there with my brother Bob, who went to join the army for his National Service in 1947 from Goldings. Iwish you all a very happy Reunion together, and I shall be thinking of you on the day.

Arthur Crane B.E.M.

Good bye and good luck Dave.

The Goldings Re-union this year has moved to a new venue at Waterford Village Hall on Saturday 5th October, more details on the day is on Goldings web site www.goldings.org which also includes details if you feel you want to get in touch. This year we welcome local residents, Golding's present residents of Goldings and anyone interested in local history in the area in the past. There will a fantastic display of photograph from the past when it was a Dr Barnardo home named William Baker Technical School under the common name of Goldings along with many items that were common to our school that was in use in our day there.
Dave,

Great to know your still looking in Smith I carried on with my trade for a while, I was a Carpenter but as the building trade changed and started cutting corners I stopped and worked as a Welding Engineer then to start my own Business but never have I forgot my Carpentry. I have taught my grandson the trade as I was taught it, and I’m very proud of him, as he does things the way I taught him and works for himself also doing very well, he doesn’t cut corners.
Mr Broster would be proud of him lol

Just checking in via my annual peek into Goldings life 23/2024, which seems pretty quiet never the less still a few of us around willing to remember and recall the events of the past, Wimbleton tennis always comes as a reminder to myself an escape from Goldings to mix with the outside world away from that terrible place, Great the site is still going bringing news and updates, though I often wonder how many continued with the trades they were taught at Goldings rather than opt for military service as appears.

The tricks we got up to

I remember early one morning I was cold and half asleep, pulled up the blankets around me, I still felt cold I lifted my head off the pillow, and couldn’t believe it I was in the middle of the parade ground with Mr Snowden shouting at me “what you doing here boy.”
