TWO farming organisations are now faced with being made homeless when the Newton Rigg campus closes this summer.
Both the Farmer Network and Cumbria Federation of Young Farmers Club have been told by owners York-based Askham Bryan they must vacate offices they have on the Penrith campus no later than July 31.
Farmer Network managing director Adam Day said: “Very sadly, the demise of Newton Rigg College seems inevitable. Penrith is an ideal central base for the Farmer Network, and we would like to ensure that we have good access for those members who need to visit the office for meetings and to benefit from other types of support that we offer.”
