Dave 62-65 my Reply Hi Christoph Yes I can confirm the shots you sent me are our former Assembly room at Goldings, both scenes are as you walked into the Assembly Room, The photograph I have attached is the door from The Library to the Assembly Rooms as it was in the early years of Goldings later to be changed when I was there. I was in The Assembly Room about 10 years ago and it was all still the same then. I have a DVD of Goldings from the time I was there that I will watch and see if I can find a better comparison for you. When I was at Goldings in 1962-65, The film He who rides a tiger was filmed on location at Goldings, staring Tom Bell and Judy Dench, and they changed a lot of the rooms with film sets, that were all taken away later, and everything was put back to normal, as boys we had a lot of fun watching it be filmed. Of course when Band of brothers was made when Goldings was an empty building our school was closed. Also Catweasel and Randell and Hopkirk the Revival, 2 TV series were also filmed there also after our school The William Baker Technical School Goldings, had closed. A short write up on our website, click (Sports and Leisure and then On Location). If I can help anymore please contact me again all my contact details are on the website. 01922-615789 Keep in touch Dave Goldings 62-65 25 June 2023 Christoph Aufgebauer Dear sir, I just found your Website about Goldings. Since the tv series band oft Brothers was partly filmed in Goldings (main entrance and some interior shots were used as Berchtesgadener Hof, Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5L9lLa2TpLo, Starts at 0:45 sec) and I was able to verify this. But now there are still 2 scenes that I cannot clearly identify whether they were also filmed in Goldings. I would like your opinion on whether they were shot there or not. I am sending you the screenshots from the series as an attachment. Thank you very much! Christoph 24 June 2023 School Cricket Notes Goldonian Summer 57 Perhaps the first thing of note this 'summer' is the weather so far it has not been good and one School match was cancelled because of rain. The School team so far has done fairly well, and it can be said that on one or two occasions luck was against us. The first match of the season ended in a draw, which may really well be called a moral victory. After that came four defeats, but two were so close that the decision could have gone either way, the margin being three runs and five runs. Then the team began to 'click' and the last three games have been won. One of these games, against Hatfield Hyde at Goldings, was most exciting. We batted second, chasing a total of 56 in 20 overs. Our progress was so slow at one period that I, as umpire was almost reduced to a bundle of nerves, and I thought that victory would elude us. Fortunately Barlow and Cleary had other ideas and a few good, clean hits brought us a win in the last over. Perhaps, however, the team played best against Queen Elizabeth's School at Barnet. We batted first and made 76 Page and Smith-Kerr both batted well. Queen Elizabeth's did not give up easily and made a noble effort to force a draw. Our captain, Bone, had to claim the extra fifteen minutes and finally we dismissed our opponents for 47. Mitchell and Smith-Kerr bowled splendidly and were supported by good fielding. A final word about the Junior XI. The boys were very disappointed that the 'bus strike made it impossible for games to take place. We hold the League Trophy of course and it has now been decided that this year there will be a knock-out competition instead of the usual league programme. Just about a year ago when I wrote the Cricket notes the Juniors seemed to stand a fair chance of winning the League Trophy. We hope to retain it this year. Scarcely any activity in the School can be put into its own watertight compartment—smooth running always depends on the co-operation of other people. May I please say, in conclusion, that I am most grateful to the boys themselves, to Mr. and Mrs. Embleton, Mr. Steele, Mr. Newton, Mr. Greenhill, Mr. Whitbread and to all the others who have helped me so much. R. W. H. 16 June 2023 Dave Happy birthday to Bobbymac how many bumps is it Bob and don't forget add one for luck. Have a great day Bob 28 May 2023 Dave 62-65 Well what a week of dry sunny weather we've had, I just love it. Whit bank holiday what would we be doing at Goldings for this half term, loads of sport I would imagine also Wimbledon training. What a great time we would be having in our own time, Hartham Common swimming pool, messing around in the grounds of Goldings, back of the quarry, Horse shoe falls, down the short cut (even though it was out of bounds), but it didn't stop us, "Sorry Pop" can own up now, despite the many times staff was waiting to send us back we still chanced it lol. What a playground we had. Well I hope all out there are getting this weather and enjoy your Spring bank holiday, (Whitsun), as I would call it.
