Barbecues
There is more about barbecues
below, and on our
Current Issues page, but at this point we would like to let you know about recent moves - the 'pilot scheme' has run for a while and the Council has to decide what to do next. The FoMBL committee is of the opinion that the Meadows would be better if there were no barbecues, and we have written to the South Central Neighbourhood Partnership to that effect. See what we have written
here.
Barbecues
Barbecue damage to the Meadows and Links is one of the things that concerns us.

Our advice - if you do barbecue on the Meadows or the Links:
- Use one of the BBQ slabs or a barbecue on a stand
- Don't put a hot barbecue on the grass
- Wait for it to cool before you dispose of it
- Please take your rubbish home - the bins aren't big enough
- Don't ever BBQ on the golf course or the cricket squares
