Barge Cruise- Trent & Mersey Canal
Posted: Tue June 3, 2008 01:16 PM UTC

Good Day

We are going on a Barge cruise from the 1st-8th October, departure point will be Sawley Marina in Long Eaton.

I would just like to know a few things:
* What is the weather like at this time of year?
* We will be arriving in Nottingham on the 30th to start the barge the next day so we would need to sleep over 1 night, would you recommend we spend one night in Nottingham or Long Eaton, is it easy enough to get from Nottingham to Long Eaton and what is the cost roughly?

That's about it. Hope someone could be of assistance.

Thank You,
Melissa

Using public transport, can I get to Hull and back in the one day?
I have checked some timetables but it doesn't look too promising.

Nottingham and english pubs: gay v straight -Is it ok?
Posted: Sun April 13, 2008 07:41 PM UTC

Greetings All,
I am going to be in Nottingham on business. My co worker in nottingham said it was customary to go to a nightclub that was gay. However, my fellow portugese friends may feel a little bit strange going to bar that is for gay folks. My question is, is it really customary , common and accepted for straight men and women to to go a club that is designated for gays? if so, then great, its a custom and no issues. If not, then i probably wouldnt recommend it. We want to experience the true english experience, but i dont want to be out of place.
Cheers!

Pub meal for 15 people
Posted: Mon August 20, 2007 11:38 AM UTC

Hi,
I am trying to organise an afternoon meal/buffet for 15 family members for a Saturday afternoon in Nottingham. Preferably centre or not far from it.
I like the idea of a pub sort of setting. Does anyone have any ideas of pubs etc that could accomodate us and, of course, with good food and beer and pleasant surroundings.

In the evening we would like to find a place close to Park Plaza Hotel that may put on a sort of 'finger buffet' for the group.

I would appreciate any help at all -- looking for a saturday in late september.

regards, pete

Applying to Nottingham Trent (but dont know what its like) your advice much appreciated...
Posted: Tue January 9, 2007 10:48 AM UTC

Hi, ive lived in the Cambridge area all my life, but moved out to Malaysia 2 years ago and am now applying to Nottingham Trent University for 2007 (but cant visit it as im living abroad). Im really tempted to put it as my first choice but i havent actually been there myself (my brother tells me its a lively party city) and its nicknamed 'tottingham' apparantly, so all in all it sounds a quality place to live. Can anyone give any advice on the Uni itself? or what its actually like to live in Nottingham? Im an 18 year old bloke whos looking to have a good time at uni, and like to party. thanks for any help in advance.

Help!
Posted: Thu November 16, 2006 06:42 PM UTC

I'm really hoping someone can give me some much needed advice about the best places to head for on a night out in Nottingham. I've never been into Nottingham before so have no idea where to head for, and i'm finding it difficult to get any information on the internet.
What i'd really like to find out is the best place to park a car(in safety) and still be within walking distance of some good bars and clubs.
Please help :-)
