So, our traditional Nottingham Christmas Special is a little less than a month away, so who will be attending? And where are we going to meet up, before and afterwards?
It's been traditional, over the years, to meet up at the Tap and Tumbler, but over the last year or two, it seems that most regular NMA Forum types have been going to Alberts (used to be Spankys), just around the corner from Rock City. Personally, I prefer it, it's easier to get served at the bar, much bigger / less crowded and you can actually find somewhere to sit down (an important thing for people of our vintage)!
And has an aftershow party been arranged anywhere?
Truly can't wait for this one, seeing as I couldn't make Chester this week, I need my NMA live fix! ;D

I believe Vagabondage has booked a spot at the TNT same as last year.
-
Quite enjoyed it last year, as my first official one :)
-
Still going, even if it's cancelled as hotels booked
-
I am doing an Aftershow @ the Tap N Tumbler hope to see You there!

So... whose up for a pre-gig meeting at Alberts roundabout 5pm? Us NMA Forum folks gathered in the upstairs area last year...
-
I think thats a good idea. Quite liked the place. I'll be there.

There's a few of us heading to Notts on Friday to meet up for a meal and a beer or three

Me to, but probably not till around 5.40 ish
-
Doors open at 6.30... could it be two years running when it DIDN'T absolutely piss it down in the freezing cold during the long wait to get into Rock City? We can but hope... ;)
-
Happy NMA day, my fellow Nottingham revellers, have a safe trip over and looking forward to see everyone there... blimey, a year since the last one? These years are getting shorter, I'm sure of it...

Tremendous gig! Well done NMA and fans. I had a moshing great time!
-
What a great song La Push is by the way.

It was, indeed, another blinder. But did any of us expect otherwise?
So great to see some old friends again. Spent all of this one on the balcony, I did spot a few familiar faces in the pit below, some of whom I've never met and don't know their names but I've seen them countless times at various gigs. Hope to know those faces a little better in the future.
The one thing I learnt from this gig? Don't go to Alberts after the gig, it was OK in the past but last night they ran out of most draught beers by 10pm and the bar service was terrible. Whose bloody stupid idea was that? OK, it was mine... :-[
Assuming NMA do Nottingham again next year and the world doesn't end before next December, see you all next year...
-
Indeed. To be honest I wanted to stay for another pint but just could not face that queue again.
No other complaints. Another great NMA Rock City event. :)

Well I did say lets go to the Tap but nnnnnooooo. No-one listens to me. Or cant understand me. Not sure ;D
