VPAG NEWS – August 2024
VPAG Festival – Saturday 14th Sept.
We need people to help:
Set up: 8.30am by Lodge to put up acoustic tent, then downhill till 12.00 to put up gazebos.
From 12.00 onwards: stewarding & other tasks, then Clear-up at 5.30pm. Also, someone to
run the Cake Stall.
Please contact Shaun if you can help with anything.
Are you a qualified accountant? If you are and would be willing to give some free advice to
VPAG about tax requirements for a new CIC, as well as signing off our annual accounts,
please get in touch.
Rose beds: We are grateful to six volunteer lawyers from the Government Legal Team who
spent the hot sunny morning of 19th July weeding two of the overgrown rose beds up by the Lodge. If you’d like to help weed the other beds, let me know and we’ll arrange a VPAG
weeding session!
Table tennis table: This has been removed as it was unsafe due to a large crack, but VPAG is seeking funding for 2 new table tennis tables.
Also, near the park:
South Bristol Liveable Neighbourhoods Engagement Project is holding a drop-in event in
