Not something you see every day. Forest players Ryan Yates & Chris Wood playing cricket - albeit for one ball! - @trentbridge.co.uk

Big day at Wollaton Cricket Club as they host the ECB Area 1 T20 Finals. They have already won their semi final & play their final later today.

Watching Notts but in Derbyshire for a ‘home’ game. Work that one out! Still think the game could have been @trentbridge.co.uk but that said we’ve got camping chairs, a picnic and a beer tent. What’s not to like. Need a win now. 🏏❤️

#BookSky - my summer reading is a bit different to a normal light breezy novel. It’s totally based on facts but reads like a novel, just like @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social previous one - The Escape Artist. It’s not morbid to read about what happened in Germany in the 30’s/40’s - it’s essential.

Part of my Cllr duties is being a member of the Notts Fire & Rescue authority. Always fascinating to attend the meetings for updates on the delivery of the service. This report stood out for me today. 👇 A brilliant snapshot record of the incredible work they do.

Last ever Splendour. Been great for getting live music to mass audiences in our city. Hope we can find a replacement next summer.

Last ever Splendour - great memories over the years. Hope some similar is set up for next year.

Coming to the Splendour Festival at Wollaton Park this weekend? Please come by public transport or if you are driving use the official car park. The streets nearby have parking schemes & resident only access. Don’t risk a parking ticket. Also note there are gas works/temp lights on Bramcote Lane.

From 9 councils to 2. The right decision for both new councils which will have elections in May 2027 to decide who runs them. Will be a handover period of the old councils for 11 months with the 2 new councils starting properly & 9 old ones ending in April 2028. Names still to be decided.

If you can’t get to the seaside this summer, let it come to you. Nottingham’s beach returns soon to the Old Market Square with an impressive events program too. Everyone welcome. Shows the benefit of having a key city centre area with good transport links that can host things like this.

And the wickets kept tumbling!

Come & visit the wonderful Walled Garden which has been lovingly restored by the @fowp.bsky.social group. Open days today (4/7) & tomorrow (5/7).

He’s gone but I’m keeping my coffee mug as proof for future generations that he played for us as the media will try to erase his 2 seasons with us from history. #nffc

Wollaton Festival this weekend - lots of things to be involved in. As local Cllrs we have used our community fund to part fund the festival. Thanks to all the volunteers who have made this happen.

A packed @trentbridge.co.uk will see the end of the Ben Stokes era today. Free entry a brilliant move by Notts. It’s going to take a Root masterclass to win the game after wickets were given away needlessly yesterday. Could be an incredible finish or all over in an hour - who knows🫣?

Thanks Elliot for 2 brilliant seasons. You deserve to be playing European football every season. Just wish it was Barcelona not City! #nffc

Lovely but bloody hot day @trentbridge.co.uk today. Thankfully 4 wickets down by the close but NZ batted really well. This isn’t going to be a 2 day Test Match!

Hot @trentbridge.co.uk for the Test Match.

A fresh start is needed. Labour has a mandate for 5 years. We are only 2 years into that. Too many policy mistakes were made. Appointing Mandelson was the final straw for many. I want Labour to be a force for good, for radical change for working people. Replace fear with hope. Let’s get on with it.

Been helping to get out the vote for Andy Burnham - hard to call the result as Reform have a big ground operation here but so do Labour. Andy has a big personal vote & hopefully this gets him over the line tonight. We need to give some hope back. 🙏🤞🗳️

Perfect holiday reading - thanks @marpsdavid.bsky.social for your unique ability to sum up the feelings of die hard #NFFC fans who have been around the block a few times. We didn’t want that feeling to end at Wembley - much like a good holiday.

Still time to get to @trentnavigation.bsky.social for the @forestfocuspod.bsky.social live podcast episode. Big raffle prizes too. On tonight 7-9. #NFFC

Last game at #WFCG until August. Another MGW goal. Neco winning POTS, possibly Elliot Anderson last game for us (hope it’s not). Brilliant pre & post match at Trent Nav as ever. Double issue of @ohmistrollingin.bsky.social Family, friends & Forest. #NFFC End of season blog out tomorrow.

Good day at the City Ground. Nothing to play for but another quality goal from Morgan. Bonkers he’s not been picked for England for the World Cup. #NFFC

One of the best - if not the best - writers about #NFFC around has done it again. In a follow up to his previous one about 30 iconic goals, he’s produced this. Another 30 goals & a super significant save! If you love books about Forest then this is for you. #BookSky @marpsdavid.bsky.social

Morgan, Elliot or Neco - it’s hard to separate them for the Forest player of the season. #NFFC

Sometimes changing the person at the top works! I don’t recommend it as a general rule but when needs must it can be a game changer. Guess this is true not just in football but in politics too. I’ll always back my team but I do want them to start winning again & playing in a different style 😉

Is that the goal from Anderson that guarantees our place in the Premier League next season? I think so 🤞 #nffc

From the beauty of Seville to the back streets of Birmingham & almost everything in between. Managed 15/16 of the Europa League Forest games. Brilliant memories along the way. Leaves you wanting more. No regrets, no anger, just the joy of seeing #NFFC on the big stages.

It wasn’t to be. For the season we’ve had it’s remarkable we got to the semi final tbh. Team looked out of ideas without MGW. 5 key players missing was too big a hurdle. #nffc
