It's never a good sign when you have to click on the Help Me button but hopefully we can get you moving forward again.

There are a set of User Guides to help you with Log-on and Registration and, once you have got past that stage there are more guides to help you make use of the site. The guides have not been updated since the site refresh so a lot of the screenshots no longer reflect what you see - but the principles remain the same.

You can access the User Guides by clicking here or on the menu item in the drop down "Help Me" List in the top menu.

If you've forgotten your password you can get a code sent to your email address to allow you to reset it. It is not the easiest mechanism to use if your unfamiliar with the process so if you'd rather just send an email (using the contact form) then I will reset your password for you and drop a note back.

If you just want to drop a note asking for help or to report a problem you're having then use the form in the "Contact Us" area or click here to go straight there.

A quick guide to what we're looking for and how to submit it

• memories of life at the College, the highs and lows and the bits in between
• information about some aspect of the College
• some random piece of information which could trigger other people's memories

Look round this site to see what other people have added. Most people just add one photo or one paragraph of text. Others add whole photo galleries or sections of the site.
