Four Nottingham graduates returned to campus in late February after Bernie Woollard (Economics/Agricultural Economics, 1978) contacted the alumni team looking for advice on where to visit!

Bernie, David Talbot (Mining Engineering, 1978), Graham Nattrass (Civil Engineering, 1978) and Peter Taylor (Chemistry/Zoology, 1978) spent 48 hours in and around campus, visiting their old halls, what was to them The Buttery (now Mooch), the T2 building and many more.
