Meetings
The Alsager Group meets on the third Monday of each month at Wesley Place Methodist Church, Lawton Road, Alsager, starting at 7.30pm. Visitors are always welcome, and there is free parking at the nearby Civic Centre
We have had 3 successful, and well attended, Computer On-Line Workshops led by Liz Pinkney. These are held at the Alsager Community Church on the first Monday of every month starting at 7.30pm. Members decide what topics will be covered and the last one concentrated on a practical demonstration of Military Records websites. After the summer break, the next Workshop will be on Monday the 6th October 2008.
On the 8th November the Alsager Group will be taking part, along with other local groups, in the Border History Fair which will be held in Alsager Civic Centre.
