mick2me 3,033 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks Trafalgar. I now remember going there once, in around 1970. In a celler if I remember? There was (is) also a Naafi on Derby Rd, near the old Park Tunnel entrance. See Looking Up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bamber 128 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 The NAAFI's head office was in Nottingham. It closed down when the government handed the food supply contract to Booker McConnell in the late 90s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Dexter 0 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 This was the Naafi Club in the basement of the Naafi HQ offices on Derby Road ( opposite Hooley's Garage ). The club moved from Bottle Lane to Derby Road in the late seventies. It also served as the staff canteen. In the mid eighties On 11/14/2006 at 12:20 PM, mick2me said: Date unknown, Location unknown? there was over 600 staff working at the Nottingham office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
