Hi all - I've been a reader of this site for some while and decided to take the plunge and join up today! I'm a Nottingham gel born and bred but left to live in Derbyshire ( I know - don't tell me!!) in 1988 but always see Nottm as my home and always will. I was born in Babbington Cottages as my Dad was a miner at the pit.
