Greenmount Association welcomes back Class of ’85 for 40th anniversary reunion

Patrick Fee and Robert Edwards, past Greenmount students, are planning the Greenmount Association’s 40 year anniversary reunion for the Class of 1985 at CAFRE Greenmount Campus, Antrim.

Former students of Greenmount Campus are being invited to a special reunion this September to mark 40 years since completing their studies in agriculture and horticulture.

The Greenmount Association, which represents past students of the former Greenmount College, will welcome back the Class of 1985 on Friday 26 September 2025 for a day of memories, friendship, and celebration.

A spokesperson for the Association said:

“Were you, or do you know someone who was part of the community of agriculture and horticulture students at Greenmount Campus? If so, it’s time to dust off the boots, dig out those old photos, and join us for a reunion event that celebrates the legacy of learning, friendship, and growth that began forty years ago.”

The event will begin at 10:30am with a welcome and update from the CAFRE Director, followed by a packed programme of activities.

Guests will take guided tours of the campus, enjoy lunch in the Manor Restaurant, and visit some of the college’s landmark facilities including the Horticulture Centre, Walled Garden, Machinery and Buildings Centre, and Dairy Centre.

The day will conclude with afternoon tea in the Victor Woods Room.

The reunion is not only a chance to reconnect with old friends but also an opportunity to see how the Greenmount Campus has developed over the decades.

“Whether you went on to work in an agriculture or horticulture business, or simply carry the spirit of Greenmount with you, your presence will make this event truly special,” the spokesperson added.

Former students who wish to attend are asked to register by emailing greenmountassociation1@gmail.com.
