With all the Industries and Jobs that are involved in and around Agriculture, I'm amazed the powers that be can't put their heads together to build a long-term sustainable College system.
Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Animal Care & Management, Steel erection and building, Plant and Equipment, LANTRA, NPTC, CCS, Plumbing, Welding, Fabrication, Equine, Game Keeping, Conservation, Renewable Energy, Leisure, Hospitality and Countryside activities etc, etc, etc, etc, etc !!!!

By the end of this week I will have dealt with 4 different members of college staff reference employing an apprentice.
Seems like a high cost system to me?

Mainly alcohol and wrecking stuffSome serious memories there
I only lived 45 mins away so only went drinking on Thursdays in Penrith then stayed at mates but in hindsight wish I’d stayed on campus! Blues on a Thursday was
Hear wildriggs have bought the college and dairy farm. Massive massive shame. 2 of the best years of my life. Great hill farming courses, great lecturers, great friends, great rugby team, great memories.
Newton Rigg deserved a lot better than this. We whipped all the northern colleges at rugby in the early 90s.
Askham Bryant should hang there heads in shame at the way they've asset stripped a British treasure. Hope it comes back to bite the buggers on the arse.

Blues, toppers and gems in the early 90s. Good time. B and E and mustaffers where I experienced my first kebab ha haI only lived 45 mins away so only went drinking on Thursdays in Penrith then stayed at mates but in hindsight wish I’d stayed on campus! Blues on a Thursday was
Craibstone and Auchincruive gone the same way up here, absolutely tragic.Asset stripped by a shower of tossers.
I did look at going to Auchincruive after Newton Rigg. Seemed a thriving college in the 90s
Was there in the early 80,great set up ,great folk ,got an education that set me up for life and a wife that's still with me
Haha you can't put a value on that Top Tip. You did well.Was there in the early 80,great set up ,great folk ,got an education that set me up for life and a wife that's still with me
Such a shame to see these colleges close.

When did the final students attend the college?
Blues closed down in my 2nd year which was a terrible loss
bloody good place let you in under 18 but put a black X on your hand with dry wipe marker that washed off straight away then you could get served 
sold Newcastle brown ale too! Whole place surrounded in mirrors so if nobody would dance with you, you could dance with yourself…
