A bride-to-be has told how she is trying to find a new venue for her wedding reception after fire ravaged a village hall. Like many residents in Gotham, the news of the devastating blaze has brought reactions of sadness and disbelief, impacting on local services - such as the GP practice - which was housed in Gotham Memorial Hall.
Five crews from various fire stations tackled the blaze which damaged the entire building - including the library and GP surgery - on Thursday, February 16. As well as "completely" destroying the roof of the village hall, the blaze affected Orchard Surgery, and patients have been temporarily transferred to the Kegworth branch.
As residents continue to reel from the shock of the blaze, one told Nottinghamshire Live how she had planned her wedding reception in the hall. Maggie Hall, 53, of Gotham, told how she is getting married in July, adding: "It has had a big impact as we were supposed to have our wedding reception there, so now we have to try and find a new venue for that date.
