CHILDREN ON THE MOVE - A LASTING RECORD OF EVACUATION IN STAFFORDSHIRE
The following letter has been sent to the Society :
I’m writing to let you know about a new local history project here at Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service, and I’m hoping that some of your website users may be interested.
The project, called Children on the Move, is about evacuation during World War Two, and there’s a linked event coming up at Kidsgrove Library on 8 July 2010 – at which we’re aiming to find local people who either were evacuees to the area, or can remember evacuees living in our communities.
The project will result in a travelling exhibition, a publication, and a website, based in all on some 90 interviews.
I’d also be really keen to hear any other suggestions for good places to promote the event and the project generally around the area – even if people can’t make the 8 July event, it’s not too late to get involved as the project runs across Staffordshire for 18 months.
Many thanks for your help,
Tom

Dear Colleague
Local & Family History Day
On behalf of the Organising Committee I should like to inform you of this year’s Local & Family History Day and to invite you to participate in the event. Following the success of previous events held at Alsager, Leek, Congleton, Biddulph, Audley, Burslem and Kidsgrove indications are that demand for space will be high.
To enable us to begin planning this event we would appreciate the return of the tear off slip below, duly completed, together with your full booking fee, by the 31st August 2010.
Please make cheques payable to “Border History”.
Yours sincerely,
Robert J. Farrell – Treasurer
