What we Goldings Boys have to do to get a sit down !!!

The idea for the bench began in 2003, it was purchased in October 2004 from a firm in Birmingham

The bench was taken to Johns house September
2005 ready for installing in Hertford even though
we still had no permission at that point.
Fred Barnes put me in touch with Heather Fogg,
who put me in touch with Dorothy Abel Smith, who
spoke to the church council, and put me in touch with
John Wood of Waterford.
Things were now happening.
