CHESHIRE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION - ALSAGER (1967 - 1970)
Velma Hopwood ( 10 Sep 99 )
I have been watching the Alsager letters page for some months now, and
am disappointed to find that there are still only a couple of letters
from ex-students of the old Cheshire College of Education - Alsager.
We "girls", Velma Large, Lorna Ashby, Roz Flegg, June Spalding, Claire
Eschle, Linda Ayres, Gill Jackson and Val Whitehead are still in touch
with each other after nearly 30 years and have many happy memories of
our time spent in Woodiwiss South, 1967-1970.
We would love to hear from anyone who was there at the same time.
Please send all E-Mail to velmahclg@btinternet.com initially, and any
correspondence for the others will be passed on.

Complete Madness (3 Jul 99) - Hayley Starr
Hello,
I too was a student at the old 'I thought I was going to Manchester ..honest'
Crewe and Alsager Faculty.
I cannot believe that The Lodge has a website. Hilarious. ( Even
though it goes
without saying The Lodge was and always will be the best).
Anyway it seems that very few old students stumble across this site, which is a
crying shame. Good
to see Steve Goggin there, I too was on that self same Cultural Studies course I
also got a 2.1. (Clever aren't we). From the utterly immemorable...

Alsager College 1982-1986 (5 Jun 99) - Richard Coppock
Hi,
I came across your web site and am interested in reaching anyone who attended
Alsager College between the years of 1982-86. I studied Special Education and
lived on Woodiwiss East Top Floor. I have been living in the USA for the past
12 years and am still a teacher. My list of people to reach is endless but
many of you will remember me as "Dicko", the guy who ran "Rag Week" and got
into all sorts of trouble with the "yips". If you're out there contact me at
OUFC4LIFE@aol.com (yes, I'm still obsessed with Oxford United F.C.!!!!!!)
Cheers,
Richard Coppock a.k.a. "Dicko"
Looking for Jim or Shirley Jones (16 Jan 99)
It was exciting finding your site on the Internet. It appears that
Alsager has changed quite a bit since I roamed its campus and streets
way back in 1974. I am an American who studied abroad at Alsager College
of Education as part of an overseas program through my university. I
lived with the Jones family - Shirley, Jim, Rupert(3 years old at the
time) and Gillian (a 1-year old). Jim and Shirley were teachers at the
college. I don't know if they still live in Alsager, but if anyone has
any information about how I could contact them, I would be most
grateful.
The last time I saw Shirley and Gillian was in 1983 in
London. We have since lost touch. I may be traveling to England this
summer with my family and would love to see them.
My e-mail address is wrose@home.com.
Thanks very much for any help,
Wendy Rosenberg
Local History Courses (3 Nov 98)
Dear Browsers,
You may have seen the South East Cheshire Studies Unit on the Alsager
site. It is a local history resources unit at Manchester Metropolitan
University.
SECSU is proposing to offer some short courses leading to a local
history qualification. It is hoped that such courses would appeal to
professional people like teachers and librarians who may feel they
need some training to deal with enquiries, pupil projects or their
own local history research. The courses may also appeal to others
with more than a passing interest in local history techniques.
It is intended that some of the teaching will be delivered via the
Internet using "virtual classroom" techniques and distance learning.
Students will be taught to find, research, record and usefully employ
evidence from various sources using established methodology and IT.
Successful completion will gain a useful qualification.
At this stage we are trying to establish our market. We need to
know whether or not these would generate interest and therefore
attract students in sufficient numbers to make the courses feasible.
Please remember that we are only putting out feelers at the moment
and contact will not involve you in any commitment. Your responses
will determine the availability and structure of any courses we may
offer subsequently and are therefore most welcome.
If you would be interested in learning how to research and write
local history or if you have any comments to make on such courses
please contact Freda Maxfield on
f.maxfield@MMU.ac.uk
Andrew Thomson And a lad called Dave...! (20 Feb 98)
Until May of this year I studied at Alsager (Humanities I got a 2:1 with a Major in Cultural
Studies).
I am looking for some people who would still be students there, (3rd Year). And also any lecturers
I met/ knew who may have access to the net..I belive we were all getting at least e-mail access at
the beginning of this year (or I would've if I was still there). Any way I am looking in particular
for Andrew Thomson (Andy 7...3rd year creative arts EveryOne knows him...he does shifter..Also Dave
(I cannot remember his surname but he too does shifter and is notorius...)as well as Emma Neale ,
Graham (From here on I've forgotten surnames!) Kevin and Sophie who all know Matt Harbour.
If he can be contacted he might pass this lot on.
Also the e-mail addresses of any Cultural studies lecturers In particular Matthew Harbour, Alan Fair and
Joss West-Burnham.. My address is "stephen.goggin@virgin.net"
You can obviously just reply to this and not worry about the address (You would't know I also took
English modules and past!!) You're help would be appreciated
With kind regards (and fond memories) Steve Goggin...
Hello Alsager! (7 Oct 97)
I was delighted to see such extensive news on your web site. I was a
student at, what was then, Cheshire College of Education. I spent three
very happy years there from 1965 - '68. After graduation, I emigrated to
Canada, where I have just completed my 29th year!
I think back very fondly of so many good times in your village and of so
many wonderful friends I had there nearly 30 years ago.
I would be very pleased to hear from anybody who was at the College
during those years.
Wes Thomas.
Maple Ridge,
British Columbia,
