Once Upon a time

Once Upon a Time group has over 400 members.  Members are invited to the OUAT ‘drop in’ session
every Monday at Manchester Communication Academy, where they reminisce with other group members and peruse some of
the many materials held in the group’s archive.

 

The group produces a magazine three times per year, which features contributions from the group’s archives and members, which is
sent to all members as part of their annual £10 subscription and they also have an annual ‘get together’ during the summer holidays at Manchester
Communication Academy, where all members are invited for a delicious meal and entertainment.  

For more information or to become a member, please contact Amanda at a.rogers@mca.manchester.sch.uk 

"Our Collyhurst/Miles Platting roots are especially important to us because of the very close knit community we all grew up in. Please keep up the good work, Amanda"

"What a wonderful afternoon I had at your event last month. I had travelled all the way from Macclesfield to attend
and I wasn't disappointed. After almost 60 years you have managed to put me back in touch with the two brothers who lived next door to me on Collyhurst Road in the 1960s!
I can't thank you enough"

"Thank you for publishing the serialisation of my memoirs detailing my National service years in Korea & The Suez emergency crisis  in your last three editions of Once
Upon a Time. These will be kept and treasured by my
family and future generations"
