Six decades of memories as Greenmount Class of 1966 prepares for special reunion

Lisa Burrows, Greenmount Association President, encourages the class of 1966 to attend the 60-year reunion.

Saturday 17 October 2026

Former students who attended Greenmount Campus in Antrim are being invited to turn back the clock and reconnect with old friends as the Class of 1966 prepares to celebrate its 60-year reunion.

The special gathering, organised by the Greenmount Association, will take place on Friday 23 October, bringing former classmates together six decades after completing their studies.

For many, Greenmount marked the beginning of careers in agriculture, and the reunion promises an opportunity to revisit familiar surroundings, share memories of student life and discover where the intervening years have taken their classmates.

Help reunite the Class of 1966

Organisers are hoping to reach as many former students as possible, including those who may have lost touch with friends over the years.

Family members, friends and former colleagues are being encouraged to spread the word and help ensure that classmates who might otherwise miss the invitation have an opportunity to attend.

The Greenmount Association hopes the occasion will rekindle friendships and celebrate the shared experiences of a generation whose time at the college began their journeys into agricultural life.
