I've heard that there is a consultation about a MUGA area in the park. How can I find it and contribute? (I'm not on Facebook!)
Thanks

For information: Anyone can apply to join the website; the applications are looked at to try to ascertain if they are real or spam, and mostly we spot spammers.
However Maris aka Stella made a reasonable application and was admitted; that proved to be a mistake.
Please ignore any messages from that person.
Thanks to those who have already contacted us.
We have deleted that person.

The total income after we receive the final instalment from Bristol City Council will be £5,173.03. Of this we spent £3,982.87. The cost of the memorial itself, including installation, was £3,932.50.
This will leave us with the sum of £1,190.16 for maintenance and improvement to the memorial site area.
The £1,190.16 will be kept in with the FoSAP current account, but treated as ring-fenced funding.
Further information about the Wellington bomber that crashed into St. Andrews Park on 30th April 1941 can be found here
Video footage of the memorial service can be found here:
