They’re all strictly ticketed. It is unclear, therefore, what restrictions will be placed on events like Notts Pride. The event cannot be ticketed and free. Restricting numbers in any way doesn’t seem fair and would require a significant increase in costs, even if we move the venue. Events with millions of pounds of turnover (like the ones mentioned) can always afford this; Notts Pride can’t. WHAT WE CAN DO Contact us by e-mail.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Independent Community Advisory Board (CAB) submits its annual report reviewing the 2017 Pride in London (Pride) events. This report reflects issues raised at the CAB private review meeting held on 20 July 2017, which were based on community feedback and matters identified from CAB members’ own experiences. This year, for the first time, the CAB has also sought feedback from a range of major stakeholder organisations within the LGBT+ community. Their comments have been included, but anonymised. 1.2 The CAB is independent from the organisation of Pride. It advises the London LGBT+ Community Pride CIC (LLCP) Board and scrutinises their decisions. It provides guidance on inclusion, governance and other operational issues. Its membership is drawn from different strands of London’s LGBT+ communities with the hope of being broadly representative. The membership of the CAB at the date of this report is: • Chair: Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett • Arts and Literature: Simon Tarrant (Winter Pride) • Bisexual People's Rep: Edward Lord OBE JP (BiUK) (Deputy Chair) • Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic People's Rep: Ozzy Amir (QMSU) • Campaigning and Political Groups: Tom Wilson (LGBT Labour) • Disabled People's Rep: Vacant • Faith and Belief Groups: Vacant • Health Rep: Eleanor Barnwell (Kings College NHS Foundation Trust) • Local Groups Rep: David Robson (Wandsworth LGBT Forum) • Older People's Rep: Peter Scott-Presland (Opening

  • The Watson Fothergill Trail
    THE WATSON FOTHERGILL TRAIL Watson Fothergill was a renowned architect who designed over 100 unique buildings in the Nottingham area. His influences were mainly from the Gothic Revival and Old English vernacular and his easily recognisable style includes the use of contrasting horizontal bands of red and blue brick, dark timber eaves and balconies, and elaborate turrets and stone carvings. 'Watson Fothergill' was born Fothergill Watson, on 12th July 1841 in Mansfield. He later changed his name to Watson Fothergill (in 1892) to continue his mother's family name. His father was a well-to-do lace manufacturer and merchant. When Fothergill was nine years old, he was sent away to boarding school in London but when his father died in 1853, his mother moved from Mansfield to Nottingham and Fothergill returned with her to go to a less expensive Nottingham school. Fothergill left school at the age of 15 in 1856 and became a trainee with Frederick Jackson, Civil Engineer, Architect and Surveyor, Nottingham. Jackson was also a friend of Fothergill Watson's late father and executor for Watson senior's will. It is thought that Fothergill may have worked on the plans of Nottingham that were published by Jackson in 1861. After four years, Fothergill went to work for I. C. Gilbert who was a Nottingham architect. Fothergill then spent two years in London studying and working part time in the architect Arthur Blomfield's office. In 1864 he returned to Nottingham to set up his own practice in Clinton Street. The first surviving Fothergill plans are from April 1871 for a Quaker School.
