| Message | Well, if anybody reads this I wanted to say that I was a student at Nonington College in 1978. I only stayed one year as I realized I didnt want to be a P.E. teacher after all so I took off with BUNAC for the States and never returned. I have very happy memories of the village, especially the pub where I blew most of my local authority grant! I loved the countryside being a city boy. One night after alighting fom the pub steps I decided to "borrow" the ice cream sign from outside the local shop and it ended up outside our dormitory. The next morning I was forced to return it by the head of the college. I returned for a quick visit in 1994 but it had been taken over by a religious group so I couldn't really get on the grounds and re live my memories. Oh well! You're OK Nonington-Rock on!! John |

| Message | I attended Nonington College for 3 years from 1967. I lived in a bungalow close to the college with a lovely lady from Lancashire called Beartice Onions. She had a son called Alan. I wonder if anyone remembers the Onions family. Fabulous 3 years of my life and I am still teaching out here in Canberra but due to retire soon. Lyn Cottingham |

| Message | What a great website! I visited Nonington in May 2001. My grandfather, Stephen William Beer, was born in Easole Cottage, Nonington in 1887. The day I visited Nonington I didn't have my camera with me - could "some kind soul" please take a photo of it for me. I would really appreciate it, thank you. Also if anyone out there has any connection to The Beer Family I would love to hear from them as I have been researching our family tree for about 10 years now. Once again, congratulations on a great website, spent hours there this morning and will be back again very soon. Kind regards Christine Ryder  |

| Message | I found your excellent website in Jan./04 and left a message. Almost immediately, I received an e-mail from one of my college roommates. She was able to put me in touch with two other old friends. We were all students at Nonington from 1955-58 and shared a room for two of our three years. I recently visited Britain and we held our own mini-reunion in mid October. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you again for your website! Without it, we would probably never have met again. |
