The 138th birthday is actually 01 June, but College personnel celebrated last Thursday ( 29 May) with cake and coffee /tea etc. The birthday cake was especially grand with the intricate College crest, icing and general flavour all delicious.
Tip of the hat – well done to all involved in arranging and pulling off this special event in the history of RMCC.
