Book Club - With A Difference!
Ever heard of a stereotypical book club? You know, where loads of academics and student debating society members sit down and pontificate about the latest must-have novels and what kind of reflection upon 'society' the chosen subject matter of the modern authors of the day has? Beeston has a book club that is nothing like the sterotype!
This is a monthly social gathering where like-minded people enjoy a drink and chat casually as a group about the books they've read, their favourite authors, or books they've heard about and would like to read. Members recommend 'good reads' to each other and use the Book Club Library to trade in a book that they've read for one that they would like to try.
There never any obligation to return borrowed books from the library within a certain timescale, or to read a set text or novel before the next meeting. Conversations during a typical evening aren't all 'bookish' either - often the topics discussed spin off into films, music, live bands and theatre. The Book Club will eventually be organising days out, weekends away, group visits to the theatre and a pub quiz team. Interested? Send an email to - - to find out more. You can also - view the book club - page for some extra information.

Golf Is Great Fun And Not Just For Snobs!
Anyone up for indoor golf this Easter? See - Indoor Golf In Nottingham - for more information and send an email to if you are interested!
Readers of this page meet regularly [at least once per week] throughout the year to play golf. We're not very good at playing golf but we have a great laugh and enjoy a good walk and some fresh air. Sometimes we play nine holes on a course suitable for beginners, sometimes we go somewhere a little more challenging but we've helped complete novices around those golf courses too! Please see Local Golf Courses page.
Next Golf: This Weekend!
A number of players [mostly beginners but some of intermediate / club standard] regularly meet at Cotgrave Golf Club, Chilwell Manor Golf Course, Bramcote Hills Golf Course, the Rutland Sports Centre in Chilwell [Pewit Golf Course - 9 Holes No Dress Code], or at Trent Lock Golf Course in Sawley / Long Eaton [the 9 hole course there has no dress code and is a very friendly place to enjoy a couple of hours playing golf]. This weekend will be no different, and if you are able to take a couple of hours off work in the afternoon we'll be playing on weekdays throughout the winter season too.
Our 'Beeston Golf Society' now has more than a dozen members - Why not join us?. Anyone, from anywhere, is welcome to join us - you don't have to live in Beeston [our current members live in Nottingham, Beeston, Beeston Rylands, Chilwell, Attenborough, Bingham, Peterborough and Cambridgeshire].
Email to join our 'informal golf society'.
Got No Clubs But Want To Try It? - We'll even lend you some spare clubs and we won't care how many balls you lose - and yes, girls can play too.
Girls Can Play Golf! - Not convinced? Rumour has it that one of our female golfers played nine holes with two men recently and beat them both! And she played off the men's tees so it was a win, fair and square!

Live Music in Nottingham City Centre
Andy Robinson was delighted to discover live music on a rainy Saturday night in Nottingham city centre. He says:
'Dashing into what used to be The Phoenix Bar on Friar Lane [just around the corner from Nottingham's Market Square and more or less opposite the Walkabout Bar] to escape the rain, I was intrigued to
find the place fairly busy. It was about 10.30pm but the people on the dance floor and sat around close to the bar weren't about to face the storm in search of a late night venue and some music. In
fact, they had no need to, because 'The Approach' as this bar is now called, is open until around about 2am and offers live music in a warm and friendly atmosphere. From the posters on the walls I
learned that the new management's policy [new to me, since I last visited the place in late 2006] is to offer live bands or solo acts as often as possible - with regular appearances every Thursday,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. Ok so the particular band that was playing when I called in wasn't to my taste [and they murdered some of my all-time favourites such as 'Mack The Knife' and even
an Oasis track] but I think the staging of live entertainment in such an important location is to be applauded. You can now check out the band whilst waiting for the late bus home from the bus stop
outside, for example - and even if the music is awful you can enjoy a drink at the bar and quietly take the Mickey out of them! Alternatively, queue up in the rain and try to get past the surly
bouncers at the bog standard theme bar opposite.'
