Welcome

This website is dedicated to all those who found themselves resident at Ridley Hall at the start of their Northern Counties College teacher education course in 1967. Here we can share memories and photographs of our college days and subsequent reunions. If you have only just found the site, please register by following the instructions opposite. If you have already registered, many thanks for visiting the site and I hope you continue to enjoy it.

December 2011 marks the second anniversary of the site. Thirty-one of us have registered so far (see "Alumni" section) and numerous photographs have been added. I'm sure you'll agree that we now have an impressive array of images, both from our college years and subsequent reunions. The site is designed to be interactive and you will see that there is a "Message Board" where you can add comments, make contact with others or suggest get-togethers.  We've also added a section for Seasonal Greetings, whatever the time of year.  Get your Equinox greetings ready.....  In fact, please be active in messaging, whatever your news.

We're always open to suggestion for further features.  We've also taken an editorial decision to retain past messages to illustrate the history of the site. What about some ideas for getting together in 2012 or 2013? There are many possibilities: shows, days out, meals or special events.  Just post a note on the Message Board.  The 'Ridleyites On Tour' folder in the "Reunions" section shows photos from some of these smaller-scale meet-ups.

I'm indebted to Brian and his colleagues at CYPHER MEDIA for setting up the site and their invaluable assistance in maintaining it. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing new contributions to the site as we build on our first year's success.

Best wishes, Jonathan - Administrator/Editor
