Good Evening just wondering if anyone else attended the college in the late 80's or know anyone that did.

Hi

I didn't go to the college but went

to the school there at Foxhole in '79

I drove by there a couple of years ago but it's not a school anymore.

I play drums in a band with a girl who studied music there.

Was a really cool place.

Hi 

I went to Dartington forestry i think 1987/ 88,  based at shinners bridge near Totnes . Great days at High Cross house . I believe it's an art gallery now. Would love to hear from more people from my course .
