Nottinghamshire Past 5 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi all What a great forum! Really pleased to have joined - thanks everyone for having me! I'm sure you're all aware that it is almost 20 years ago that Bygones began life as a separate publication with the then Nottingham Evening Post and since it ceased its print run several months ago, many have mourned its passing. We have therefore set up a new nostalgia journal - Nottinghamshire Past - which will delve into the region's cultural, sporting and historic roots from the not-so-distant past. We really want this to be full of living memories so please do like our Facebook Page and share yours with us. https://www.facebook.com/NottinghamshirePast/?modal=admin_todo_tour The first edition will be on sale at most local newsagents this month, June 2018, priced at £2. Looking forward to hearing everyone's memories :) NottsPast 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Me too. I used to really enjoy Bygones on line. I wasn't aware of it until its last year, which I paid to read. Really enjoyable, hope I can do the same with 'Nottinghamshire Past'. Good Luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Bygones was great initially, as it was full of pics and info such as Rock City, Nottm Vic, Nottingham Forest, Boots, Players, Raleigh, Plessey etc over the years. However, more recent editions I purchased were a rehash of the same pictures and a plethora of adverts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Finally found a copy of this publication, the very last one on the shelf at our local Newsagents. He said he didn’t know it existed until a customer had asked him to get some copies in. It’s good, with a few articles and photos I haven’t seen or read before. I particularly enjoyed reading about Gary Sobers’ 6 sixes off Glamorgan’s Malcolm Nash. The fielder who dropped a catch on the 5th ball, Roger Davis, was a boyfriend of mine 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
