Homeless Film Festival 2012
Mon 02 Apr 2012This April sees the inaugural Homeless Film Festival, a nationwide turning of the spotlight back on to a problem that’s getting bigger and runs deeper, than ever before - and it’s all down to Notts and Manchester collective, Donkey Stone. We spoke to Jamie Rhodes about its aims and ambitions...

Ecoworks: Nottingham’s first permaculture organisation
Fri 17 Feb 2012If they were any greener, Robin Hood would be wearing them. Part community project, part landscape design consultants, part catering service, part suppliers to Notts cafés and restaurants, 100% local produce champions, they’re on a mission to turn the entire city onto home-grown produce, as Business Development Manager John MacDonald points out….

Interview: Nottingham Panther's Jeff Heerema and Rob Lachowicz
Wed 02 Nov 2011While Forest and County bumble along in their respective (lower) divisions, the most successful professional sports team in Nottingham quietly goes about its business of hoovering up trophies left and right – and this season they’re making a serious run at winning their first league title since 1955. They’re your Nottingham Panthers, and two
of them – right-winger Jeff Heerema from Thunder Bay, Ontario and left-winger Rob Lachowicz from Wollaton – had a word with us…

Tue 25 Oct 2011If you want to go somewhere to stand with a load of people and play games, get yourself down to the Forest for Goose Fair and try to catapault a manky rubber frog onto a rotating lilypad, for a keyring of Donny Osmond that says ‘Justin Beeber’. If you care about videogaming and where its heading, on the other hand, happy days; GameCity is back...

Interview: Headstock Festival's Mick Leivers
Wed 07 Sept 2011Headstock is a three-day music festival that takes place at the Newstead & Annesley Country Park, but if you think it’s another opportunity to listen to landfill indie whilst being bombarded with mobile phone adverts, think again; this event is geared towards getting an ex-mining community back on its feet and turning it back into a self-sustainable community. Headstock MD Mick Leivers tells us about this prime example of Notts folk mekkin’ their own entertainment…

Interview: Mark Patterson on Roman Nottinghamshire
Mon 15 Aug 2011Whilst other places in the UK wear their Roman origins like a badge of honour, there’s virtually nothing to look at in Notts – so much so that we’ve been described as an ‘archaeological blackspot’. Mark Patterson’s book Roman Nottinghamshire is the first step towards reclaiming our Roman heritage…

Interview: Mark Crossley
Fri 12 Aug 2011Mark Crossley - known as ‘Norm’ during his thirteen years as Forest’s goalkeeper, due to a resemblance to Norman Whiteside - started his career being hated by his own supporters. Then he nearly became the hero of the 1991 FA Cup final and a club legend. Nowadays he’s a player-coach at Chesterfield, an after-dinner speaker, and - as of this month - his own publisher...

Left Brian: 2011/12 Season Preview
Fri 05 Aug 2011Forest failed to get out of the playoffs. Again. Old manager dumped, new manager promises better. Again. Initial foot-dragging over new signings. Again. Can Forest break the cycle this season?
