Work has started on creating a new music micropub on Mapperley Top, which aims to start pulling pints next month.
The Blues Dawg is being opened by Ralph Glover, with the name for the venue being taken from the new owner’s love of blues music and also dogs.
The Blues Dawg will occupy the former Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance shop on Woodborough Road and is hoping to start pulling pints for the public from September 14.

The venue will specialise in selling local real ales with four to five hand pulls available. They will also stock ciders, wines and bottled lager.

Owner Ralph said: “I’ve recently moved back to Mapperley and always felt a micro pub would be perfect up on Mapperley Top, fitting in well with the other pubs and bars on the strip.
“Having run a micro pub before, I thought I would set one up on my own.
“The name came from my love of blues and dogs so there will be bit of live music weekly and the pub will be dog friendly.
Ralph added: “I am currently doing the renovations with help from friends and now hoping to be ready for opening by the weekend of September 14.”
A Curtis Millward penalty in the dying seconds gave Arnold Town their first point of the season at Eagle Valley against Gedling Miners Welfare in their customary Bank Holiday Monday fixture.
As early as the 4th minute, the home side may have thought they were in for another torrid day, after their 11-1 drubbing against Ingles on Saturday, as Mason Coy crashed an effort off the crossbar with the outside of his boot after good work by Courtney Hastings presented his midfield colleague with the opportunity.
2 minutes later and Joe Meakin nearly found himself behind the Arnold defensive unit but some last ditch defending by Jordan Knight thwarted his chance. Despite the early pressure, Arnold weathered the storm and set about rectifying the latest form guide. Kris Drackett found himself in behind down the right, but his dangerous low cross was unmet and the ball trickled out for a throw in. The midfielder clearly questioning his teammates’ effort to commit forward.

The opportunity sparked Arnold and, with confidence, they started to slowly come into the game. With ten played, Cameron Thurgood, be it through fortune or intent, tested Danny Brown’s reflexes with a shot-cum-cross but the goal bound effort was excellently tipped over for a corner. From the resulting corner, Craig Binch took aim but his attempt was pickings for Brown who settled his defence.
By this stage, Arnold were the better team and their football was impressive, contrary to the early league standings. Tricky winger Will Bouwen attempted an audacious 35-yard lob over Brown but, after being found well by Drackett, the ball bounced the wrong side of the post as the hosts sensed the early initiative.
Gedling meanwhile began poorly and after Saturday’s loss at home to Belper, couldn’t afford to slip up against their local rivals as they sought maximum points to take back to Plains Road. Not even 14 minutes had been played and Thurgood again tried his luck on goal, this time from a short corner, but his shot sailed wide as the Arnold faithful commended their start.
The visitors’ possession was wasteful and any venture forward was easily dealt with by Knight and his colleagues as Arnold remained sound defensively, though they lacked that killer edge in the final third when in behind Gedling. Notwithstanding the slow start, Gedling tried in vain to stick to their game plan, but their passes, more often than not, failed to hit their targets. The committed pressure from the home side made it difficult and their efforts were rewarded when, on the 26th minute, they took an unsurprising lead.
After finding room down the right, Kurt Hallam crossed wickedly which seemed to evade all those in attendance, though leading goalscorer Curtis Millward collected well and, in one swift movement, controlled and fiercely struck his shot low past Brown into the corner; a fine hit by Arnold’s leading talisman to mark his 5th goal of the season.
In the following exchanges, Arnold looked good for their lead and Gedling were left annoyed as their approach was continuously halted by a resilient home side. They had to wait until the 40th minute for their best chance to arrive but Jack Jepson could only drag his effort wide after initially being fouled in the build-up. The striker’s protest of claiming the free kick fell on deaf ears as referee Richard Mills signalled for a goal kick.
A goal to the good at the break and, only a minute after the restart, Thurgood once again tested Brown as Arnold looked to continue where they left off in the first period. Much like Saturday, the travellers resembled a frustrated figure and their next best opportunity came just after the hour but Jepson’s flicked header from a Meakin cross flew over the crossbar.
Down the left, Bouwen was starting to worry Gedling with his direct methodology and pace but full back Jack Millward did well to contain the winger. The visitors looked to experience in an attempt to salvage something from the game and Chris Freestone entered the fray as time ticked toward the close.
The introduction of Freestone was a shrewd one, and the well-travelled striker was starting to cause a nuisance in an otherwise undisturbed Arnold back line. On 71 minutes, his nod down to Mason Coy was good, and the midfielder’s stinging effort was destined for the top corner but for the outstretched hand of the home ‘keeper James Elliott. It was from the subsequent corner that Gedling found their equaliser; warranted based on their previous 20 minute showing.
After Meakin’s delivery to the front post was left, the ball found its way through a body of players and Dwayne Brown was on hand to tap the ball home from 2 yards out.
By this stage, Gedling were in complete ascendancy and since the leveller they sensed that they would leave Eagle Valley with more than just a point. 10 minutes from time and Jimmy Spiers nearly put the visitors in front but, after controlling well, his powerful drive was saved well by Elliott. Though he could do very little a minute later when, deservedly, Gedling took the lead.
After Jepson cleverly broke the offside trap, his direct run down the left created space for a low cross to the unmarked Freestone who tapped home. One of the easiest he will score in his esteemed career against his former club as his teammates rushed to congratulate him and Jepson who played a key role in the go ahead goal.
Since going behind, Arnold, albeit not without commitment, posed very little going forward and Gedling, looking to consolidate their position, could not have been blamed for assuming the 3 points were headed back to Mapperley. However, with the last attack of the game, Arnold were given an unforeseen chance to snatch a point.
After substitute Ryan Marsh was played in down the left, his cross was blocked by Coy who had retreated well. However, as the ball rolled out for a corner, referee Richard Mills pointed to the spot and had surprisingly deemed Coy to prevent the cross via the use of his hand, much to the dismay of Gedling, who clearly felt the decision was unjust. In the aftermath, Coy was booked for his protests, but not before Millward sent Brown the wrong way to give his side an unexpected point from the game and send his personal tally to 6 for the campaign.
A much-improved second half performance from Gedling should have rewarded them with all 3 points to take away from the game, but for a contentious decision by the officials. They put league form behind them next Saturday ( September 1) when Ilkeston Town visit Plains Road in the first qualifying round of the FA Vase, 3pm kick off.
My Husband, Simon and I visited on the August 15, our Wedding Anniversary (20 years by the way!) for a celebratory meal.
On arrival we were quickly greeted by a friendly lady who said our pre-reserved table would be ready in a few minutes and were shown to the Bar/waiting area, small but very nice with those kind of high tables and stools that most ladies struggle to look graceful getting on and off!
The décor of the main restaurant is so nice, a mix of old and new with a slight industrial edge. Low level lighting, which is ambient, but did require Simon to illuminate the menu with his phone screen!!

A few minutes passed and we were whisked to our table. We were passed the menus, which come in the form of a newspaper………. Now, whilst I do appreciate staff being attentive I’m not quite ready to order my food after two minutes (after all I was still on the first page!) but we ordered our drinks, Dandelion & burdock and a bottle of sparkling tap water which is served in big bottles and unlimited for £1 which is donated to water aid.
Decisions made we ordered. Starters of Charcoal Grilled Halloumi served with Sweet Potato & Chickpea Curry and Crispy Breaded Goujons with a sweet curry sauce.
Whilst George’s is widely regarded as a fish restaurant I wasn’t in the mood for fish so opted for a new menu item, Chicken and Bacon waffles. Simon opted for the Wild Ocean Cod in Onion Bhaji batter with Kashmiri Pilau rice and homemade curry sauce (he swapped the rice for chips on this occasion)
My Halloumi was nice but seemed a little tough, maybe this was down to it being grilled as I usually pan fry mine at home but the curry it was draped across was lovely, just the right level of spicing and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Simon was slightly disappointed with the chicken as it seemed a bit dry, but was nice and crispy and the curry sauce was very good too.
PICTURED: Some of the dishes on offer at George’s Great British Kitchen
It was about 10 minutes in between courses, very good as it was relatively busy.
Simon has had his mains choice before so was happy as a pig in mud, 10 out of 10. I was about to tuck into my dish when I suddenly noticed my Chicken & Bacon waffles was missing a vital element, my Bacon had gone A.W.O.L! A quick chat with our lovely server and a dish containing three big slices of the most tasty perfectly cooked bacon I have ever had the pleasure of eating was at the table.
The dish was delicious, the only thing I’m not so sure of is that I don’t believe it needs the chips served with it as it was so filling I had to leave one of the two waffles!!!
Oops, I nearly forgot to mention: the Dandelion & Burdock was amazing as usual (takes me straight back to being 10 and the “pop man” delivering those glass bottles of D&B) anyway back to this review as my age is starting to show now!
We were not going to have a dessert, as we were both pretty full so we plumped for coffee instead, Cappuccino for Simon and an orange liquor coffee for myself. As big coffee fans, these were both declared as excellent.
We were now ready for the bill so after showing my work ID and getting a 20% discount (insert happy face emoji!) the server asked us if we had had a good day and I mentioned it was our 20th Wedding Anniversary, she said congratulations let me bring you a free dessert of Doughnuts! Why thank you, don’t mind if you do. We have had this dessert before, it is a wooden board with stubby churro style doughnuts with chocolate & raspberry sauces and a big pile of pink candy floss.
This time Happy Anniversary was emblazoned across the serving board, what a lovely end to our meal
So, bill paid, full tums, happy diners.
We would highly recommend Georges, as we have never had a bad dish or anything other than great service. Book a table now, you will not regret it.
Tip: Do not leave without having experienced the delightful doughnuts

Carlton Town exited the FA Cup at the first hurdle for the fourth year in succession as they went down 2-1 at Worksop Town.
Eddie Clarke had given the Millers the perfect start with a goal inside the first five minutes but Worksop responded strongly and were ahead by half time. Despite some concerted pressure in the second half the Millers were unable to fashion an equaliser, with Kyle Stovell going closest with a shot that hit the bar.
Manager Wayne Scott made two changes from the side which lost against Wisbech last time out with Daniel Fletcher and Ben Hutchinson both unavailable. Into the side came Kieran Walker and Niall Davie.
In front of an impressive 435 attendance with a decent following from Carlton, the Millers started the better and were ahead on five minutes. A long throw from Walker was cleared back to the Carlton captain. He got ahead of the goalkeeper, pulled the ball back to Clarke who rifled home from ten yards.
Davie was causing all sorts of problems for the home defence in the early stages but gradually Worksop’s midfield, led by the impressive Steve Wolley, took control of the game and overpowered Carlton’s 3-5-2 which quite often became 5-3-2.
Soon after Worksop levelled from the penalty spot. Riece Bertram was adjudged to have brought down a Worksop player and Jordan fired home.
Worksop were now on top and a ricochet fell to Jordan whose shot drew a fine save from Jack Steggles.
The home side took the lead on 30 minutes. A free kick was awarded to the defensive right of the penalty area. Steve Woolley stepped up and fired the ball over the wall and into the corner of the net.
Scott introduced Stovell with half an hour remaining. He went closest to scoring on 71 minutes. A Davie cross was met by Sargent at the near post. The ball was cleared to Davie who fed Louis Tomlinson. His cross found Stovell whose fierce shot hit the crossbar.
Luke Smithson then played the ball to Aaron Opoku whose lovely feint and turn gave him the chance to run and cross but the ball was cleared away.
Worksop keeper David Reay then saved from Clarke while at the other end Connor Brunt fired over from close range.
There was a lot of huffing and puffing from Carlton but little in the way of clear chances and the hosts saw the game out relatively comfortably to seal their place in the First Round Qualifying draw.
Gedling Borough Council is set to meet its target of building 7,250 homes by 2028, it has been revealed.
Almost all of the houses which need to be built before 2028 have already been given permission.
The largest of these is the Chase Farm development on the former Gedling Colliery, where around 1,050 houses will be built.
PICTURED: Over 7,000 new are set to be built in the borough over the next 12 years
Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth is the portfolio holder for growth and regeneration at Gedling Borough Council, and represents the Gedling ward for Labour.
She said their plan would “allow us to provide much-needed new homes, encourage economic growth and support regeneration”.
The total each area has to built is specified in a complex legal document called a Local Plan, which has to be approved by the Government.
The Gedling Local Plan was formally approved in the last few weeks.
Councillor Hollingsworth said: “The Local Planning Document addresses the key planning issues in Gedling borough and sets out a clear and locally distinctive vision for the future development of the borough.
“Thanks must go to our planning policy officers who have worked tirelessly to get this document adopted and to the residents who have had their say on what is, a hugely significant and important document that sets out the future development of the borough.”
“Here we’ve outlined the areas in each part of Nottinghamshire where the houses will be built, as well as where the biggest new developments will be.”
Some areas across Nottinghamshire already have their local plans in place, while others are still being drawn up.
In numbers: A total of 7,250 homes will be built across the borough as part of the council’s plans by 2028, though many of these have already been given planning permission, and some are already being built. These include the Chase Farm development, which will have around 1,050 houses.

The popular Haunted magazine recently ran a feature on Gedling Woods which has been home to paranormal activity for centuries…
Gedling Woods were originally part of the ancient Sherwood Forest, home to Robin Hood. However, today Gedling Woods is but a fraction of its original size, and is a nature reserve close to Shearing Hill.
There is full public access to Gedling Woods and it is a very popular destination for dog walkers and hikers.
Most people have no idea of the many hauntings associated with it.
There have been many reported cases of paranormal activity over the centuries, including a ghostly nun and also of a White Lady – both of which have been seen to glide along the many tracks which criss-cross the woodland.
PICTURED: Gedling House and WoodsPICTURED: Haunted Magazine issue 20 is out now
Both of these hauntings are not known by name and do not seem to notice the living.
The most infamous haunting at Gedling Woods though is a haunting which has no visual aspect to it, only an audio aspect – that of disembodied screaming. This horrific screaming has been reported several times but when people investigate (assuming a human being is in trouble) they find nothing. It is not known if this screaming is linked to either of the other two known hauntings, either the ghostly nun or White lady, but many people have reported hearing this horrific, blood curdling screaming ring out across the woodland.
In the daytime it is a peaceful little oasis of calm, but as darkness falls it becomes a more sinister place
Issue 20 of Haunted Magazine is full of ghost stories, stories about ghosts, stories about locations with ghosts and stories about films and TV shows that feature ghosts and is available now online HERE. #dontbenormal – be PARANORMAL!

A public consultation has been launched over plans to build hundreds of new homes using land on the Arnold and Mapperley border.
Three plots have been identified for the new homes, which includes land at Brookfields Garden Centre in Mapperley, a field in Killisick Lane in Arnold and a plot between Mapperley Plains and Howbeck Road.
203 homes will be built on the plot between Mapperley Plains and Howbeck Road, with 62 of these being low-cost homes.
90 homes are planned for land which was being used by occupied by Brookfields; 31 of these will be low-cost homes.
230 homes and 43 low-cost properties have been earmarked for land on Killisick Lane.
People are now being invited to comment on the draft development brief which covers these sites and is now available for viewing.
PICTURED: The map showing the locations of the planned development
This document sets out how interconnected issues associated with these sites (such as the provision of a new primary school, drainage issues and the provision of open space) should be addressed to ensure the sites are developed in a sustainable manner.
But people are being reminded that the consultation is being held to gather opinions around the nature of the development and not the use of the land itself, as this has already been earmarked for housing.
A spokesman for Gedling Borough Council said: “We would welcome your comments on the draft development brief. Please note the principle of development has already been agreed and so comments relating to this will not be considered.
Those wanting to find out more can attend a drop-in session at The Beacon on Birchfield Road, Arnold (NG5 8BY) on Monday, September 10 between 3pm and 7pm.
The draft document can be viewed online HERE or viewed at the Civic Centre in Arnot Hill Park, or at Arnold Library in Front Street.
People have until Friday, September 28 to comment on the proposals.
This can be done via email to planningpolicy@gedling.gov.uk or by post to Planning Policy, Civic Centre, Arnot Hill Park, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 6LU.
What are your thoughts on these latest plans? Let us know in the comments section below.

Confronted by a rat in their house, a local resident decided to ring police in Nottinghamshire to ask for help in dealing with the roaming rodent.
Another member of the public was eager to get advice from police over the phone about dealing with a noisy boiler.
These were just two examples of timewasting pleas calls fielded by operators working for Nottinghamshire Police over the past few weeks.
This latest flurry of non-emergency calls to 999 has now prompted Nottinghamshire Police launch an appeal urging people across Gedling borough to use the emergency number responsibly.
In the past year, Nottinghamshire Police revealed they have received around 180,000 calls to its 999 emergency number and a further 425,000 to its non-emergency 101 number.
They say that while the majority of emergency calls are made to request police support in genuine emergencies, 999 call handlers are having to deal with a fresh wave of spurious and misplaced calls which delay them from dealing with the most urgent request for help.
In the last few weeks alone, the force has received 999 emergency calls from members of the public asking the force to:
Give advice on dealing with a rat in their home
Book a taxi
Share information about train timetables
Send-out officers to give advice on a noisy boiler
Advise the caller when their car insurance is due to expire
Explain why a power cut has happened
Explain why they’d been woken up by the police helicopter
Provide the telephone number for another police force
On a Bank Holiday weekend when Nottinghamshire Police officers, staff and volunteers will be attending a number of events on top of responding to calls from members of the public, the force is making a fresh plea for the public to think before calling 999 so it can be on-hand to respond to genuine emergencies.
Superintendent Paul Burrows, from Nottinghamshire Police’s Contact Management department, said: “The summer holidays and the August Bank Holiday weekend are typically one of the busiest times of year in our Control Room. We’re expecting a similar trend this year, which is why it’s so important that we know we’re prepared so that we can be there for when the public really do need us the most.
“While some of the misplaced emergency calls we receive range from honest errors of judgement to the more unusual, there is a serious point to be made here as every misplaced call our emergency call handlers receive has the potential to delay us from responding to genuine emergencies.
“All we’re asking is that people only call 999 in genuine emergencies and remember that there are other ways to contact us for less urgent enquiries, with the Nottinghamshire Police website offering advice on hundreds of policing and non-policing issues and the 101 non-emergency number also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Two families from Nottinghamshire who had to send their children to different schools due to an ‘unfair’ policy will now be paid £500 compensation a year.
It was decided last year that the council’s school admission policy of not giving priority to siblings was ‘unfair’. This policy has since changed.
PICTURED: County Hall (CREDIT:Nottingham Post/Mark Fear)
But now, the Conservative-lead Nottinghamshire County Council has agreed to pay two families £500 a year because their children missed out on places at their preferred schools while the old policy was still in place.
Under the previous Labour administration, the council removed priority school places for families with a child already at a school, meaning the two families were left having to take their younger children to different primary schools.
As their preferred school is full, there is little prospect of the younger siblings of either family being offered a place in the near future.
The council has said it respects the ombudsman’s decision and there was no desire to cause distress, but there are always going to be some families left dissatisfied.
The case was investigated by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman – an independent person charged with making decisions on the behaviour of councils.
The ombudsman, Michael King, said: “The changes Nottinghamshire County Council made to its admissions arrangements have had a significant impact on daily life for these two families, which could last until the older siblings have moved on to senior school.
“In cases like this we would normally ask the council to offer a fresh appeal to the families. But because the school has now converted to an academy, neither the council nor we have any authority over its admissions arrangements.
“I am therefore pleased the council has accepted my recommendations, and hope these will go some way to help these families with their arrangements over the coming years.”
Under the last administration, councillors in Nottinghamshire decided to remove priority in the oversubscription criteria for children outside the schools’ catchment areas who had siblings, over those outside the catchment area who did not.
This decision affected the two families, who applied for reception places at the same school for entry in September 2016. The two families appealed the decision not to offer their children a place, but these appeals were unsuccessful.
The Office of the Schools Adjudicator ruled in January 2017 that the new admissions arrangements for September 2017 were unfair. The council decided to offer second appeals to families affected by the changes in 2016 who might thereby have lost places.
The two families were offered a second appeal, but because the school was full it could not offer them places for their children.
The families are now having to transport their children to different schools in the morning, and make arrangements for after-school clubs or for friends and relatives to help with collecting in the afternoon.
In this case the council has agreed to apologise to the families and pay them each £500 per school year until either the time their eldest children leave the preferred school or the preferred school has spaces for their younger children.
It will also pay both families £250 for the distress in being denied the remedy they should normally have been entitled to, and a further £250 each for the time and trouble in bringing their cases to the ombudsman.
Councillor Philip Owen is the chairman of the Children and Young People’s Committee, and represents the Nuthall and Kimberley ward for the Conservatives.
He said: “This finding relates to decisions taken under the previous Labour administration, but I do understand why the council took the position it did. It is unfortunately the nature of the school admissions process that there are always going to be some families and children left dissatisfied whichever policy an authority adopts.”
“By restoring priority in the oversubscription criteria for children outside a schools’ catchment area who have siblings already at a particular school, this could mean that children who live nearer and perhaps only just outside that school’s catchment may have to go a much longer distance to get to another school. I am not convinced that the adjudication took their rights into account sufficiently.
“However, Nottinghamshire County Council respects its duty to abide by the ombudsman’s decision. There is certainly no desire by this authority to act unfairly or cause distress to any family.”
