It was 'our' badges which were taken to Horsham and given out as prizes until suddenly someone discovered that there weren't any left!

The Boards recording the prizes given at Hertford from the year dot are in the corridor between the Counting House and the Court Room, at Horsham. So all those names are still recorded, for posterity! The House Boards recording the Monitresses at Hertford are in the the 'companion' Houses (at the me...

We are talking over 40 years ago.......when not much was illegal in the Swinging Sixties.

Thread this and thread that?! I wondered if I should post that Hertford Genealogy website link on any other part of the Forum. It really is quite fascinating... especially the links to the 1881 census, names of girls, boys, staff etc. (I got to know about it when I was bidding against the webmaster ...

Though what this has to do with a Welsh narrow gauge railway beats me!

I invite you to browse this most interesting website :-0

And definitely pilchard sandwiches! I had an e mail from a contemporary on Thursday, saying 'Happy Ascension Day. Enjoy the pilchard sandwiches and don't pick the bluebells'.
Happy days.....

Brilliant! It looks as if there will be lots of musicians to make this work even better than last year!
Just let me know who you are and what you can do... and off we go!

Yes I found all those music records on e Bay last night, and am bidding on some of them. Presumably they would now be out of copyright? In which case (if I win the ones I am bidding on....) could we get them digitally recorded onto CD? I bought a CD last year, from an eBay vendor who had sold a 78 w...

Well actually, Dave, it was very nice to meet you, too... and I look forward to working with you in the future, on 'CHA 'Events'! That little meeting in the Bax which started with RR and me thinking about CHA Events and which then moved on to wider things when Toby and then you and Janet joined us, ...

But I am glad to see that you clearly got home safely Dave, after your long drives over the last couple of days!

I'm more than a bit of a dinosaur (and thank you Mary for suggesting that at 58 I look as I did at 18 - plus about two million kilos and disability caused by arthritic disease..I felt uplifted by your comments!). But I did lose the thread of this discussion........ Ermmm Can someone please elucidate...

Hello Louise I can try to scan the cards (I think there are two, maybe three, different views) but I am not sure about the badge. It's not very big.. just a small crest in a navy blue background in a ring of gold. Not sure that scanning that would be effective.. and I am sure to get it out of focus ...
