Flickr Meet #3 - Nottingham, originally uploaded by CraigMarston.

This event turned out very well. The weather looked like it would rain, but it just remained overcast. Everyone I spoke to during the day said they were really enjoying themselves, and indeed, there were a large number of poeple left when we arrived at the final pub around 5:30pm.

We met at 10AM, and went straight in to the Council House on the Old Market Square in Nottingham. That was fascinating. I had no idea that place was so extensive. 58 people signed in to look around which gives us some idea of final numbers for the event - some people turned up later as well.

We had a rather long lunchtime break in the Pitcher & Piano pub which used to be a church and after everyone going off exploring in little groups met up at the Castle to do some group shots and have a look around.

From the Castle, we had a ride on an old Routemaster bus around the city and then on to another pub. That bus ride was fun with everyone still in high sprits.

It just goes to show that despite not being warm and sunny, these things can be great days out.

There are already a few hundred photos on Flickr from the event and I expect there to be hundreds more. All of them can be seen here.
