Archaeology with the community!
There is a new Research Centre for Applied Archaeology at the
University of Salford (but based in the CUBE building on Portland
Street in Manchester).

The work of the Centre includes involving people from local
communities, helping them to learn more about the history of their
locality, and the chance to be trained in archaeological techniques.
This might also be an interesting way to encourage both physical
activity and learning!

If any local community group or school wants to know more,

or become involved in digging up the past, they should contact:

Mike Nevell (Head of Archaeology) m.d.nevell@salford.ac.uk

Brian
Grimsditch (Community Archaeologist) b.grimsditch@salford.ac.uk

Image for Spoof Interview with Professor Clever Cloggs on the Credit Crunch

As part of the Community reporters programme we took a copy of the Manchester Evening News and used it to see if there were any articles that we could follow up with a telephone interview. We found an article about laughter and the Credit Crunch and how it was affecting us all. There were some very 'interesting' facts in there as well as a quote from a Professor. The real Professor in the Story was naturally far to busy to give us an interview even though we found his phone number on his website. So we had to phone up someone to do a fake one instead.
