Yes @Halix I did and I thoroughly enjoyed it - remember it well! Was working for British Gas at the time and they sponsored me through Business Studies ONC, CMS and then the DMS... 1 day a week off work and the odd weekend. Set me up for life!Hal1x said:
Snap! Did you have to go to Worthing for the residential course?CafcWest said:Syd was my tutor at Croydon College when I did my Certificate in Management Studies in the early 80’s. Was real old school teacher. Never once mentioned Charlton. maybe cos it was Croydon…spoke to him once outside ground in early 2000s - didn’t remember me!0 -
Did they bung you in to the hole from hell?, or did your group get one of the comfy rooms to make your widgets?CafcWest said:

I don’t think Syd was a Charlton supporter prior to the move to Selhurst Park - at least not an active one. He certainly taught at Croydon College.CafcWest said:Syd was my tutor at Croydon College when I did my Certificate in Management Studies in the early 80’s. Was real old school teacher.

Syd lived in Waddon (Croydon).0

Syd was indeed a legend. Remember he drove our Junior Reds coach to Ipswich for the play-off semi final; I say coach, it was a single decker bus he got hold of from somewhere. As for Wally he was a regular - and a hugely popular fella-on the Junior Reds coach. We even commissioned a trophy named after him, which was presented to the Junior Red's away player of the season. Great days indeed. God knows what they would have made of what's happening these days.2

Ha ha. No - I seem to remeber (as best I can!) that we had a small conference room for our team. I remember it all being quite competitive.Hal1x said:

Remember Syd caused a lot of concern at CASC committee meetings re his license .
if I remember correctly he was asked to attend one of the committee meetings and explain.
This would have been at the meridian club?0 -

My favourite memory of Sid was how he would waffle on at FF meetings and wind up Katrien.
She hated him !6 -

Our group were in a cloakroom with a filthy sloping ceiling which only allowed you to stand if you crouched, no chairs, and no heating. They were testing how people reacted to written orders from on high, when you were experiencing differing and hard working conditions. Of course we went on strike! Somehow thats one lesson I haven't forgotten.CafcWest said:

The bosses on the other hand were seated in a warm comfortable room, with tea and biscuits, and couldn't understand why we were being so stroppy.1 -

Sadly, it appears that he passed away a couple of years back: https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/89565/syd-cheeswright-rip0
