Nutwood Chums host reunion
Inspired by the 80s bands currently embarking on revival tours, the Nutwood Chums decided to re-form to celebrate the anniversary.
The original event, held at The Peacock in Newbold Road, with entry £1 and music from their own compilation tapes, raised £250 for Rugby’s PHAB club.

Their reunion party in November at the Bull Inn at Clifton where one of their group, Paul Stanley, is the landlord, saw tickets at £5 and digital music - although all pre-1986.
It raised £600 for Rugby’s Hummingbird Centre, which supports anyone affected by cancer.
At least three-quarters of everyone there had attended the first event and many hadn’t seen each other for 30 years.
They plan to organise another event in the summer.
