You are invited to relive the past… with a slide show, a DJ set from Mike Atkinson, an exhibition, display of old periodicals, contributions by those who were there, including from Simon Smalley, readings from the period and a prize quiz.
What songs do you remember? What did you do in those exciting decades? You can also attend if you were not even born then, as we look back to the sixties/seventies/eighties and then forward to the next book about the decades to date coming out in a few months.
Feel free to dress in period costume, but only if you have to… Bring your own photos if you have any
Bar, cafe and stalls on site
6.30 doors, 7.15 start of proceedings
All ticket money goes to the Nottingham LGBT+ Network – https://www.nottslgbt.com/ – currently celebrating fifty years supporting the local community
