Comments: I have just been looking through some of the comments an noticed a name I am sure  I remember from the past, ie, Mike Hultum. Hello Mike this is Jimmy James, ex Goldings boy and member of staff in the printing department. Also a staunch member of the school cricket  team and the table tennis team, both as a boy and member of staff. In fact I continued to  play cricket for the school right up until it closed in 1967. All the best to everyone who  looks in to this message board. Jim.

Comments: Dear Webmaster, As a one time "Housemaster" at Goldings, I enjoy your website. I  just wish that more former staff or students would keep in touch. I live in Winnipeg,  Canada, and, being retired, I have lots of time to remember those far off days at Goldings. I am in touch with George Sandmann who was a friend and co-worker when I was at the school. I also worked as Housemaster at Much Wenlock and at Templecombe. If anyone remembers me from  those days I would be happy to hear from them. I suffered a slight stroke last summer and, as a result, lost my drivers license....However. My doctor thinks that I should get it back soon and I will be seeing an eye specialist with the hope of driving again in the near future. Does anyone have news of other staff or boys who might know me? You can give them my e-mail address if they ask. This comes with every good wish and congratulations on your web -site. Sincerely. Jack Johnstone. One time Housemaster, Aberdeen House.
