I havent a clue where you mean

Whoo hoo whereabouts in South?

Newton's a hamlet just off the road from Grantham to Bourne. I used to play a squash pro there called Mike Scanlon and afterwards we'd feast on the cold meat buffet. People used to travel miles to sample it. The landlord never charged beforehand but only collected if his customers really enjoyed their feast. Queues stretched, literally, 50-100 metres into the village especially at weekends. The company to be found there was also exquisite. It's still there according to the Notts Pubs website.

If it's anything like it was you have a treat to look forward to. :thumbup::thumbup:

I used to play for Bourne Town in the United Counties or Eastern Counties League (can never remember which) under a manager called Chris Notley. Best playing surface for miles around. Happy days!

Castle Donnington was the last time I lived in the county - almost 19 years ago now :P

Then I moved to Sandiacre (Notts), Oakwood (Derby), Daventry (Northants) then finally Ottawa (Canada's capital city) where I presently live (unfortunately) :)

I remember Whitwick having a fairly dcecent pitch. That's got to be years ago now, though. Worst pitch ever really was a cow field, it had cow pat and everything. Kenilworth or somewhere.

Edit: Kegworth, apparently.

Now lots of people have detailed where they live and, on another thread, where they are going on holiday - it only needs a bad'un to link it with the 'thing I can't do without' thread to form a decent blaggers shopping list... :unsure:

:o How dare you? Our pitch is quality, it's like playing on a brand new green carpet. Although the one you're on about might be different. Was it surrounded by fields and have a static caravan as a changing room? lol

I live in kegworth... lol

What's that Turkish restaurant like in Syston? Is it worth a visit?

My mum-in-law lives there, in College Road, and I drive past it every time I visit. It always looks inviting.
