    Hi Keith!

    Doubt you remember me but we used to chat at the Union on Thursdays, which were about my only night off from the 360 Club in Bulwell.and on odd occasions I went back with you and Mrs Petal for a cuppa at your place before walking the rest of the way home to Bestwood. You lived somewhere along Forest Rd at the time, opposite the cemetary.

    I was 'DJ Colin' of the 'Magic Roundabout Disc Show' and we mostly did the 360, Carlton Hotel, a couple of other residencies and many gigs on the 'Weddings and Funerals' circuit.

    Stay well!

  2. can somebody put me out of my misery.

    remember dancing away in 1971 but can remember the name of the place.   played lots of beatles, motown...... and danced away,   had a parking area to the side where we got pickedup for ome.   remember dancing, dropping off picking up at the door, what was it called?

    only one floor for all .. great times.   dirt parking area at the side, got packed with family picking up, but not late as these days,  more like  11 or 12 at night.   pretty early these days!"

     

     

  3. Craig,     70s music  will go on,

     

    can you identify a disco type venue for me?

     

    remember walking quite a bit from it ,  past The Arboreturm and up near forest ground.

     

    Can you give an idea of any discos that were in the area?

     

    Maybe they are demolished nowl.......

  4. Yes carni, thanks for that. Maybe equally, she doesnt spend a lot of time looking into her past, so still worth pursuing long term. Takes time, as you will know, to locate and find, particularly after so many years has past. I will continue, nonethelss, who knows who will turn up or what ..

  5. Hi Cliff

    Thanks for my first reply, yehhhyyy , I've been researching family history for some years and hit a brick wall, somebody told me he said he lived a walk from the rear or side of the wall surrounding the Arboretum, so not sure now ! He told them the place opposite his flat was "Sherwood Forest", so will check back about that one too. May have to search outside UK too, so hoping this forum can help in the first instance. They studied together you see. Wasn't too sure which part of the perimeter of the Arboretum he means, but with trying to put it all together, was hoping somebody would recognise my problem and help with location.

  6. I am looking for somebody from 1971. Name of Ken, Black, 21 then possibly Jamaican. Historian info.

    Lived, possibly studied there but lived in an old building of flats which was accessed by outside metal staircase, possibly opposite Sherwood forest and not very far from one of the surrounds of the Arboretum. Within a possible mile or two radius max. If you know or even think you know, please post back. This is very important.
