Just giving this one a bit of a bump...
Bazzer, there is no Daybrook newspaper as far as I am aware, (I live fairly close to there). I'm not sure if there is any kind of a newspaper in the area apart from the usual freesheets which tend to be regionalised. If I were searching, I'd keep Arnold in mind as Daybrook comes within that. I've an idea if there might be something that is circulated by the local Gedling Borough Council and I think they would be worth a look up.
try the gedling forum or the robinhood news were going when i left arnold in 2009 for south africa

Not in Aus, Kath. Presently living in Georgia USA. Long story. Married in 1965. We were together almost 33 years. We emigrated to Canada in 1970. She died in 1999. I was on my own for two years. Nearly drove me nuts. Re-married a lady from Georgia whose husband had died. Moved down here to escape the VERY cold winters. Been in the US now about 8 years. I became a Canadian citizen and will remain one. If I were to find myself on my own again I would go back there. Two daughters and grandkids still there. I remember Graham Crowe and Richard Anderson quite well. So Mick Mayhew ran Jackie bells for a while eh? Great to touch base after so long.
sorry about the slip we did a tour of canadian rockies i would say a part from south africa and malta one of the best holiday amazing scenery
