  • Did you study at Greenmount in 1966?

    Date published: 28 July 2026

    The Greenmount Association is delighted to invite former students who completed their studies at Greenmount Campus in 1966 to a special 60-Year Reunion on Friday 23 October, commencing at 10:00am.

    Members of the Class of 1966 - Mervyn Simpson, Eric Whittaker and David Gilmore are looking forward to welcoming back classmates to Greenmount.

    Sixty years is a remarkable milestone, and this reunion offers a unique opportunity to return to the college, reconnect with former classmates and friends, and reflect on the experiences that helped shape both careers and lifelong friendships. Whether you have kept in touch over the years or have not seen your classmates since leaving college, the event promises to be a memorable and enjoyable occasion.

    Guests will have the chance to share stories from their student days, hear how life has unfolded, and revisit a place that holds a special place in the history of Northern Ireland's agriculture and horticulture industries. The day will provide plenty of opportunities to reminisce, renew old acquaintances and celebrate the shared bond of being part of the Greenmount Class of 1966.

    The cost of attendance is £20 per person, which includes a two-course meal, as well as tea and coffee throughout the event.

    Former students from the Greenmount Class of 1966 are warmly encouraged to attend. Please spread the word to classmates who may not yet have heard about the reunion. The Association hopes to welcome as many faces back as possible for what promises to be a special celebration of friendship, memories from 60 years ago.

    Please RSVP by 30 September to assist with catering and event arrangements. For further information or to confirm attendance, please contact: greenmountassociation1@gmail.com.

    We look forward to welcoming the Class of 1966 back to Greenmount for this memorable occasion.
