Six teams will look to win a place in the national finals when they meet at the Trent FM Arena.
Jason Lee, Steve Chettle, Nigel Jemson and Ian Woan are all part of the Forest squad together with Steve Stone.
"I think it is one of those clubs that has an effect on your life, it is steeped in so much history and nostalgia," Stone told the Evening Post.
"I was 15 when I arrived and left when I was about 27 for Aston Villa so most of my adult life was spent there. My children were born thereI have a lot of affection for the city too."
