Goldings Old Boys' Association
CLUB NOTES
Renovations of the Old Club formerly known as the Cadet club, was said to he in our last notes of the school Magazine, just under way. Now, as
These notes go to press, the club is almost completed The success of near completion so soon is due largely to Club members who set about the
Task of renovating the club with alacrity. I must not forget to say that much assistance was given by students from the School, who gave up
many evenings for us.
Advice and help from people who really know what they are talking about is always valued. Here at Goldings we are fortunate indeed in having
a staff capable of being advisers and helpers, and this was proved by the assistance given through the various shop departments in one way or
another. To those members of the staff who did practical work inside the Club, we say a very special "thank you!" May I, on behalf of all
members, thank everyone for their services.
As I write these notes our Secretary (Mr. Tom Allen) springs to mind. Tom I mention because of his eagerness to see the Club finished, came
along every evening (including wet ones), to assist. advise and act as general foreman. Seeing such good of his labours must be quite
satisfying. It is a Club to be proud of, and I led more than sure you all agree with me about this.
OTHER NEWS
Recently a dance was held at the Shire Hall, Hertford. Our profits from this were not very encouraging, Our dances and other functions are held
to raise some money for club funds; if you care to come along to any of the functions we may arrange, you will be more than welcome.
Our next dance will be held on the I3th February 1959. Please make a note of this date, and get your friends to support us.
The Annual Dinner and Dance will be held at The Shire Hall, Hertford, on Saturday, 18th April 1959, at 7.15 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. Tickets through
any Old Boy or the School.
ST. VALENTINE'S DANCE: I4th FEB. NOT I3th as on page 9.
TABLE TENNIS
I can make very little comment at this stage, due to the fact that the table tennis season has only just started. I can say, however, our teams view
the future with optimism.
BILLIARDS AND SNOOKER
Something new for us this year is the entering of a billiards and snooker team in the Hertford League. Our Match Secretary (Mr. Albert Hopcroft)
tells me that so far we have lost one game and drawn one.
FOOTBALL
The 1958-59 season brings two additions to the football section of the Club's activities. First, the appointment of a team manager became
necessary, because of the unfair responsibility which had to be shouldered by a playing member when the question of team changes arose. This
appointment of a person with an unbiased opinion and absolutely no prejudice was agreed on by all playing members, and has been efficiently
filled by Mr. F. Stevenson, who has given up much of his time to watch the matches on Saturday afternoons. Secondly, a training session has
been organised on Wednesday evenings, in the gymnasium, giving the players a chance to keep fit. The training session is under the capable
guidance of Mr. Newton, who is also giving up some of his spare time to train the players. This training has proved itself valuable already;
playing away at Datchworth the Old Boys were 4-2 down, and about fifteen minutes left for play, the ground was in very poor condition,
nevertheless I am sure that the evening training session helped to bring home both points, although the margin of victory was by only 6 goals to 5.
The Old Boys started the season quite well with notable successes against Allenburys in the County Cup, and the 4-3 defeat of Walton, but owing
to unfortunate circumstances have not been able to field the same team during the last few games; subsequently their performances have not
been too successful.
At the close of the 1956-7 season the Old Bovs finished second from bottom of Division II, and yet two seasons later are in Division I. During
the 1957-58 promotion season the team played almost all of their fixtures unchanged, which surelv proves that the players will gain confidence
and an understanding with each other if a consistent team is maintained.
On the whole the Old Bovs will do well to stay in this Division this year—the football is better, the opponents are stronger but another season
playing together should produce better results.
GRAND DRAW
The Christmas Draw was held in the composing room and owing to the illness of our President was drawn by a visiting student from Reading
University.
The prize winners were: 1, E. Harrod—(1674), 2 Newtown, Hockwold, Thetford, Norfolk; 2, R. Staniford—(1174), Goldings, Hertford; 3,

A profit of £9 11s. 0d. was made and the Old Boys would like to thank all members cf staff and friends who sold tickets.
WHIST DRIVE
A \Vhist Drive organised by the Goldings Old Boys' Sub- Committee raised £12 towards club funds. The M.C. was Mr. Maslin who we thank for
doing most of the organising. Refreshments were provided by members direction of Mesdames Maslin, Millar, Darton and Powell
All prizes were donated! by local tradesmen and friends.

Goldings Old Boys' Reunion
On Sunday, 5th October, 1958, the second annual reunion took place at the School. Despite the terrible weather conditions, it was an even
greater success than last year, with some thirty-four old boys attending and bringing with them a further forty-four friends and relations.
This year, of course, we had the added attractions of the School Exhibition (left complete for the benefit of the old boys) and the Old Boys'
Clubroom, which although not completed, showed our visiting friends that the Old Boys' Association is "alive", and doing its best to get a
suitable place of meeting.
Tea was served in the boys' dining hall at 3.45 p.m. by wives of members of the staff, and the Headmaster addressed the company assembled.
After tea, the junior boys very kindly gave an additional performance of their Exhibition Play, "The Life Story of Dr. Barnardo". This was
greatly applauded and appreciated by everyone.
Under the heading "News of Old Boys" are listed all the old boys who attended the reunion, with their present addresses, so I hope that someone
may find a missing friend's name, and be able to renew an old friendship.
