1975 – 1978 OND Forestry Course Students and Staff, Newton Rigg, Penrith, Cumbria
This image was taken by Derek Green, Photographer, Penrith, after the final exams and the results had been published, before we all went out into the worldwide forestry industry at the end of June 1978.
To have been selected from over three thousand applicants to attend the OND course that was then reduced to three hundred applicants for interview in the spring of 1973 and commence the 3 year sandwich course, having completed at least two years practical work in the industry; as one of the thirty applicants chosen, it was a privilege. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, or financial constraints, four members didn’t start or complete the course. Forty eight years on, some of the craic is still very clear!
