Longcol Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think they held the Ryder Cup at Lindrick back in the 1950's and I'm pretty certain Nottinghamshire used to play county cricket there. Other than that - well, it's near Clumber Park...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
