Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:28:11 +0100 http://www.theparknottingham.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=133 www.TheParkNottingham.co.uk is 7 years old. That is an extraordinarily long time for a website to have gone without a major redesign and it is now looking very tired and out of date. I propose to rebuild the website from scratch over the next couple of months using the same system that Barack Obama has recently used for the redesign of www.whitehouse.gov (actually I suspect he may have got someone to do it for him). When the redesign is complete, this site will disappear, along with all its content, images and user accounts and you will be asked to re-apply for membership of the new site. Watch this space...

You may be aware of our static blood donation clinic at 1 Castle Quay, Castle Boulevard. Which is Just over the road form the Park Estate. Over the last few weeks attendance and donation numbers have been falling and with your help I would like to help boost numbers by increasing awareness of the centre to residents of The Park. Thu, 16 Apr 2009 22:21:26 +0200 http://www.theparknottingham.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=127 There have been many complaints about the complete failure of The Park Estate office to respond to email or telephone messages from residents. They have failed to respond to me at all on 3 out of 4 of my last enquiries. On behalf of The Park Residents Association I am collecting other anecdotal evidence of this problem and would ask that you send instances to me at webmaster@TheParkNottingham.co.uk. We will pass it on to the board of the company.

This year the gardens are very varied: from the large and old established with mature trees and shrubs to the very recently landscaped, from large to very small, from sunny to shaded. Details of the gardens and a map are in the programme which visitors receive as they pay to enter. Teas will be served in two of the gardens and at the Tennis Club. In other gardens you can relax with a glass of Champagne or local beer , cool down with an ice cream , view the work of local artists, purchase plants, local honey or garden 'decor'. Sytners are once again marking the entrance to each garden with the latest models of their luxury cars. All the money raised at the Trail will go to local children's charities, mainly to Rainbows in Lougborough which is the only children's hospice in the East Midlands. Please come and bring your friends. Entrance £3.50. Pay at North Gate, Lenton Road (castle end) or Peveril Drive. Click here to download the promotional poster for the garden trail.

He went on to buy Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset in 1907 where the curator would be interested to have more information about his past. If you know anything about him, please let me know at webmaster@theparknottingham.co.uk Wed, 28 Mar 2007 10:16:45 +0200 http://www.theparknottingham.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=121 Can anyone help with this request? Please reply to Keely Parrack if you can. I am researching for a novel I'm revising, and trying to find out information on the history of the Park, especially that surrounding some drawings/paintings discovered fairly recently in a grotto or cave. I think the pictures were mostly faces and animals, some of the structure has collapsed. I'll be in flying into London next week, (I used to live in The Park, but now live in California.) I'd love to see the pictures if they exist. I'd really appreciate any help, Thanks, Keely Parrack Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:04:51 +0100 http://www.theparknottingham.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=120 DOG WALKERS COFFEE MORNING A chance to finish conversations and to meet the person from the other side of the street - 10.45am - 12.15pm Saturday 10th March 2007 Bowls Club Tattershall Drive £1 to cover the costs, with any profits to an animal charity.

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 14:36:22 +0100 http://www.theparknottingham.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=116 A burglar entered our house today while we were at home. She is white, early 20's, 5' 4", with blond hair and a distinctive squint. She is known to the police and is sometimes accompanied by a toddler or infant. She is very calm and prepared to chat for a while with a variety of semi-plausible excuses for entering a property. She has spent time in prison but apparently does not resist when apprehended. Keep an eye out for her and keep your doors and windows shut.

Click on Competition in the left hand menu and answer the question to have a chance of winning a meal for 2 with wine at Nottingham's best public house in the Lace Market.
