THE GOLDONIAN GOLDINGS PERSONALITIES (19)
After serving five years with R.E.M.E. during the war, and seeing something of life in the land of the Pharoahs, Mr. Broster spent two years at the Bolton Training College, where he was successful in gaining the National Building Certificate and Full Technological Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery. Added to his practical work as a Carpenter in the Wirrall, this technical training equipped him well to teach the trade to aspiring apprentices, which he has done most successfully since he came to us in September 1950. Many boys must feel that they owe to him a debt of gratitude for the knowledge which he has so well passed on to them, and equally for the kind and understanding attitude he has shown towards their varying problems. Mr. Broster enjoys the games of badminton and tennis, and was becoming a serious contender for honours in the billiards world, until, alas, the table was dismantled. He is a regular umpire of the House Cricket matches and for a considerable period ran the School Library for the boys. He has operated the school projector so well that the scouts of Arthur Rank have been on his trail many times. Recently Mr. Broster has been in charge of the erection by the Carpentry boys of the new Art Centre at Goldings, and no doubt he will continue to take an interest in it after it's completion, as painting, sculpture and carving are amongst his hobbies.
