I’m trying to get a regular meet going, venue in North Notts.

Welcome to the new Notts Amiga Group.

We were formally RHAG (North).

We now have a new venue and plan to have 6 meets per year.

The venue in mind is 10 minutes from J27 or J28 M1, cafe on site and plent of parking (albeit charged for parking).

More details soon.
