Book giveaway

These are duplicates from the Library that are no longer needed, so we are happy to give them away to anybody attending this match.

The giveaway is open during the lunch and tea intervals on each matchday.

Please bring your own bag to take away your chosen goods – and if you’d like to make a small donation in return for these items you can donate to the Library book fund or to the Trent Bridge Community Trust.

 

The Wynne-Thomas Library

Spectators are very welcome to visit the library and explore the thousands of books on the shelves, browse the latest cricket magazines and chat to other visitors.  Staff will explain the lending service for Nottinghamshire members, and they are keen to hear your comments and suggestions about the Library.

Situated behind the Ticket Office, the Wynne-Thomas Library is open each matchday, from the start of the lunch interval until the end of the tea interval (including during the afternoon session).

 

Heritage displays

In the Museum Room (off the Long Room in the Pavilion) there is a new display that marks the Queen’s Jubilee year by looking at the links between the royal family, Trent Bridge and the county club.

New information panels about Notts’ knights of the realm, Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Richard Hadlee, can be seen on the ground floor of the Radcliffe Road Stand, in the waiting areas named after these two giants of the game.

Displays about the varied talents of Peter Wynne-Thomas – our late Historian and Librarian – and items showcasing his skill as a watercolour artist, cartoonist and illustrator, are in the corridor near the Ticket Office.

A small tribute to Colin Slater – known as 'Mr Notts County', but a man forever linked with Trent Bridge too – can be found on the lower ground floor of the Pavilion.
