Nottingham Rock City? Who's coming? And other questions...
« on: November 22, 2019, 10:27:41 PM »

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.
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Quite enjoyed it last year, as my first official one  :)

Still going, even if it's cancelled as hotels booked
Is is a crime to believe in something different?

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...
