Donald Pennie

Nigel graduated in 1975 with a Cert. Ed in Physical Education with Geography. He had very fond memories of his time at Loughborough, particularly of his time on the athletics track and hockey pitch, and was a lifelong supporter of the University. 

After Loughborough, Nigel spent a short time teaching in England. He then returned to Scotland to teach at his old school, Strathallan School, before spending 10 years at Lomond School in Helensburgh. He was then Head of Department at Morrison's Academy in Crieff for 26 years. 

His enthusiasm for Loughborough was such that his daughter, Fiona, would not consider anywhere else to continue her studies! This allowed him many nostalgic visits during Fiona's time at the University, before her own graduation in 2003. 

Nigel will be deeply missed by family and friends.
