| Comments: | I;m trying to create my family tree and would be grateful for any local knowledge! My great-grandmother Rosa Taylor was a teacher at Quedgeley School in the 1920s and lived in 'the Hive'. Does anyone know if this house still exists or do you have any more information? |

| Comments: | Every month I read Quedgeley News, hoping to see one of Richard Cale's wonderful tales of life in Quedgeley past. Every month I'm dissapointed. Please include some of Richard's stuff. He's been very helpful finding pictures of the Veal family that used to live in the village from the 1880's to the 1950's. He is a mine of information. |

| Comments: | We will be moving to Quedgeley next week, and have only been there once before to find a house and school. We are moving to be near family, which will be a big surprise as we have not told them yet. Your magazine and website has been great to find out what is on and where things are. So thank you for keeping it so well informed and hopefully our move will be easier now that we know more about Quedgeley. |

| Comments: | I have lived in Quedgeley for 18 years now and read the Quedgeley News without fail every month. The team must work very hard to provide all the useful information. I was very interested in the history of Quedgeley on the site and wondered if a guide could be done (as if you don't have enough to do already!!!) telling us about the remaining buildings and what they were in the past. I read in one of your issues about the old post office being in a house down the Bristol Rd and would love to know which one it was, etc. |

| Comments: | The mention of Prisoners of War at RAF Quedgely has cleared up where my father was "guarding" POWs during WW2. I knew he was at Quedgeley when I was born (1948) but always wondered where the POW camp was. Problem solved for my Family History! Thanks very much. |

| Comments: | I've been doing a family tree for my friend, whose great-grandmother was a long-time resident of Quedgeley. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy visiting the village and church, a chance email to the Quedgeley News asking if they had any info. on Annie Elizabeth Oliver (nee Ryder) led to a whole host of wonderful information and photos dropping through my letter box. Many thanks to a fantastic Editor, Sandra, and the wonderful Caroline Meek who generously gave so much of her time to photographing and collating information for me. |

| Comments: | Loved the site. I lived at Quedgeley House in the 1970's as a child, and went to the primary school. I have traced many of my grandmother's family - the Hoopers (corn dealers) Vallenders (farmers) and Arch family back to 1800 Quedegely. Would love info on The White House on the Bristol Road or Birch House. |

| Comments: | This is a brilliant local history and it would be wonderful if every village or ward in the city had one like it. Particularly interesting to anyone like me, once upon a time an RAF officer. Please can we put a preservation order on the Quegley News so that it never stops! Richard |
