That looks really good to me, although I've never used First Gold hops. But that's going to be a nicely balanced beer, with good body. I like the looks of that! :mug:
 
I personally think you have plenty going on with the malt and hops, so I'd ferment that Nottingham right in the middle- maybe 64-65 and avoid fruitiness. I like nottingham because it's so clean and you can really taste the malt then.
