Beeston Residents: 'On Yer Bike!'
Did you know that if you work in Nottingham city centre during normal office hours it could be a lot quicker to cycle to work than it is to travel by bus? A friend of the Editor of this website claims it now takes him '25 minutes to cycle from Chilwell to Nottingham, quicker and cheaper than the bus!' It's summer, less likely to rain, so Beeston residents - grab a helmet and get on your bike!

Hemlock Happening Event Cancelled
The annual 'Hemlock Happening' Event in nearby Bramcote Hills Park was cancelled this year, due to the downpours and rain storms in the local area in early June. But, now the sunshine is here again, it seems a shame that the event cannot be 'happening' after all! If you have information about any other interesting local news or events, we can publish it here free of charge!

Volunteers Wanted To Help Save Lives
The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance are appealing for local people to volunteer to assist with their fundraising at events across the county. Their events are always fun, friendly and a great way to meet new people.
Most importantly, a Volunteer's contribution helps raise the crucial funds needed to keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives.
