Hello,
I am not against the idea of the BBQ however i feel that as with many things in Bristol it may be abused. You need to remember that a communal BBQ would mean that anyone is welcome to use it and therefore would be on a first come first serv...
That's nice. I wonder how many people completed our survey?
I think Mary Finnigan's idea of a communal BBQ is a good one if it can be made to work & I for one can't wait
to cook some sizzling sausages on one!
At least they are addressing the Problem

This an email just received from SOMERFIELD:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding disposable barbecues. Somerfield does not currently stock disposable barbecues with metal stands and is unable to order any new stocks this year. Somerfield is a c...
Hi Martin, Writing press releases is one of my skills. See www.2write.co.uk I guess its one of your's as well?
Yesterday I spoke to Somerfields Press Officer, Ms Julie Daniels, and asked her if Somerfield would stop selling standard barbecues and instead only sell the little leg variety( let's call them LL) - which in theory dont burn the grass as they are...
Doug you are right about the elf and safety police -- my partner and I bemoan our over-regulated society on a (er) regular basis. But please can we think positive about this? Until the bureaucrats spoil the fun, let's enjoy the prospect of swathes...
you are right Doug- was just being a misery- am over it now.
live and let live etc....
think I will move my computer and spend less time looking out of the window!

Mary,
While I sympathise with your idea of a communal BBQ in the Park, I think that we are far too Health & Safety
minded in this country & any Council built BBQ would probably have DANGER HOT notices plastered all
over it lest some inebriated you...
Sarah,
An Alcohol Ban & now a BBQ ban??...........what next? Football? Frisbee?.....let's just put up a sign that says
"No Hedonistic Activity!!"..........Ha Ha............Doug
Well Mary can cook my Barbecue any day of the Week.............sounds absolutely delicious!!
& then with the bass sound of the didgery doo in the background.......just perfect!!
Doug
on refection and after a walk in the park- my feeling is 'no more BBQs'
ban them!
sarah

Ok. We fund Mary to provide food at all FoSAP events!

- Hi Mary
The Wellington Bomber Memorial is a separate fund raising project for those that want to support and get involved to remember and mark this very tragic historical event and for future generations to know what happened on their doorstep. All in the Community will support different ideas and not always agree. Whilst money is tight I hope those who wish will have the opportunity to support which ever project they would like to see in the Park. The important thing is for all to get involved and have a say in what they would like to have in the Park. You will be welcome to come and contribute to the facilities appearance and heritage sub group the date of our next to be arranged.

- Hi Mary,
Glad to hear you might be able to get involved.
Your suggestion for BBQs could be a matter for the Recycling/litter group (ask Admin to put you in touch with the convenor Jon Gulson), though I suspect many people will want to have a say.
St Andrews is a public park run by Bristol City Council, so all proposals have to get their sanction.
There is a Friends of the Park meeting on evening of 24.6.09 at Derby Road Bowls club. All our meetings are open to interested people, so do come along if you want - BBQs, litter etc are sure to be raised.

As you may know, there are several Interest groups within the “Friends”. If you contact the Admin we can put you in touch with the appropriate convenor.

BBQ?
Is there support for raising funds to build a communal BBQ installation in the park? It might deter some people from ruining the grass with their portable barbies. Also very social.
