Did anyone on here go to the unveiling of the Plaque on the wall of The Mercure Hotel, commemorating Notts County F C being founded there. Was organised by Andy Black. Saw it on the local news BBC news earlier.

Yeah, I totally forgot about this.

It's good to know that the birth of the club will be remembered in history and, be remembered with the plaque outside the Mercure hotel. I always tell my children when I go past it on the bus that Notts was formed in there, one of them usually looks baffled as to why and Ava did once say 'No, they play at Meadow Lane daddy'. :lol:

Great job by @Andy Black

I only know about the collection during the fundraising stages, it all went quiet after that.

Oh oh oh ohhhhh, everywhere where we go, watching super County putting on a show!

I've never heard anything about it, not at all. I do like the idea of the plaque reminding people especially Forest fans that we started out before them.

Is that the place that used to be the George Hotel, when I was an apprentice printer we used to have our Christmas Dinner there, a very posh affair all paid for by the company. Happy days. I never knew of the Notts connections.

I do believe it is, yes. Uncle Colin looking very frail, isn't he. 

Yes he is, bless him.

Its nice to know the origins of Notts County will long be remembered by those that see the plaque, great effort to get it done and put in its place.
