Hi Alan, Thanks for this suggestion. We have been told that Bristol Council are considering various BBQ options in several City Parks and I will ask them to add this one to their list. In the meantime, hopefully the grass will grow back, albeit ...

I appreciate that with the onset of winter, barbecues are a long way off peoples minds at the moment and Halloween is foremost in our thoughts. I would like to put forward this idea. Instead of one or more permanent barbecues which may invite vand...

A good turnout despite the weather for the second attempt at this consultation. There were twelve of us, plus our CPO MIles and two community police officers. Watch this space for the report. In the meantime, here SAP consultation report July 09....

Please feel free to Join this Group......WE are lucky in that we have almost eradicated Graffiti from St Andrews Park but we need to keep it that way.

Simon Randolph commented on Doug Reid's blog post 'Area Green Space Plan - St Andrews Park'
Yes, I did, making the total number of those attending precisely 3!! Rather embarrassing. No, nothing was proposed and nothing decided. It was really an exercise in sounding out what ideas the 'local community' had as possibilities for medium to l...

Should be interesting to see if it is vandalised? Might be quite fun if some people who can really play turn up Doug

Doug Reid replied to Doug Reid's discussion 'BBQ & Play Equipment'
It appears that the way they do things in Australia & here are two quite different things. Personally, I would love it if it was possible to have a "fixed" Barbecue in St Andrews Park but the chances of Vandalism would be extremely high & I'm no...

Simon Randolph replied to Doug Reid's discussion 'BBQ & Play Equipment'
The trouble with having to order a barbecue in advance is that most BBQs are not planned for in this way but usually decided upon on an impromptu basis, i.e. if the weather is good. Nor will having access to a hireable BBQ stop most individuals/gr...

Yep, a good idea from Alex, which sounds like an acceptable compromise - and will satisfy both barbecuephiles and barbecuephobes alike!

I agree Martin. It's probably quite an expensive installation having 20 pianos
throughout Bristol but let's just see how it goes. Rain is obviously going to be
a problem but if there are some people who can really play the piano it should
be a worthwhile experiment.

Having looked at the website I am doing a U-turn and fully support the piano in the park idea! Its good to have an open mind! Anyone in any doubts about its merits should have a look at : http://www.streetpianos.co.uk. My only reservation is that there should be a hotline number for any problems and piano playing should be limited to daylight hours. The other problem is the rain, but they say their will be a piano raincoat provided.

Simon Randolph

I would like to thank Simon Randolph for his magnificent photographs in the Photos section.

His attention to detail is marvellous & his knowledge of the Flora & Fauna but more than that some of his

general views of the Park are breathtaking having been taken at all times of the Year.

Thanks,

Doug Reid

Mission Accomplished!!

I have now completed the painting of the legs in Black & the varnishing, 2 coats of Mahogany Dacrylate Varnish

to all 33 benches in the Park!! The Council provided all the materials, Paint, Varnish, surgical gloves, brushes &

sandpaper. Sarah Mc Murchie is going to do the last one with her Grandchildren this weekend as she wanted to

"adopt a Bench". It's been a hard slog but it was done with "Friends of St Andrews Park" in mind & probably

would not have been attempted had Judith… Continue
