Welcome

Chadacre Old Students Association was formed in 1921. Its original aim was between ex-students and their former colleagues as they left to
pursue their agricultural careers.

Since the closure of the institute in 1988, hundreds of COSA members have continued to keep the spirit of Chadacre alive. The spirit is as it always was, one of hard work and enterprise, whilst keeping a sense of humour and awareness of the needs of others. The Association is open to all former students of the agricultural institute as well as recipients of funding from the Chadacre Trust.
 
COSA members are spread throughout the world today, but the Chadacre Old Students Association is very much alive through events, functions and newsletters. Many ex-Chadacre students and staff have maintained contact, exchanged ideas, formed friendships and trading partnerships and found support in all aspects of life.
 
COSA is run from the offices of Hollow Trees Farm, Semer, Ipswich, IP7 6HX.
 
If you would like to get in touch and / or receive the COSA newsletter and communications please contact us.

Thank you,

The COSA Team
