The owners of Stuffed Café, Jodie and Kylie, run the business from their beautifully converted 1970s Bakers Van and will be serving locally roasted coffee, an array of tea, cold beverages, Ice-cream, freshly made sandwiches, award winning cakes and other confectionary delights. Jodie and Kylie are from South Bristol and have traded at local events in the past. They know and love the park very much and are thrilled to have secured the Concession. They are especially keen to hear feedback from park users to ensure they continue providing a great service, much like the former mobile Café, Mrs Brown's. Get in touch on Facebook @yourstuffed  | VPAG Meetings Every month we meet to discuss various things relating to Victoria Park including upcoming events, any issues that have arisen and ongoing projects, like creating the play areas, wildlife areas, mending benches and many more things. Our next meeting will be on 2nd September 2019 at the Bowling Club, from 7:30 til 9pm, everyone welcome. We're all volunteers who care about the park and we welcome anyone who wishes to come along and see what we do. If you fancy volunteering but aren't really sure, we don't ask for any commitment just the occasional help when you're available. Typical things we require help with are usually when we have an event, so it could be helping to put up gazebos, being a warden for the bonfire night, weeding and planting, delivering flyers or designing a poster. If this is something that you want to know more about feel free to come to one of our meetings or get in touch.
 In the past VPAG have received reports that sharp screws were found on the paths in the park. We do not know if they had been dropped or left there deliberately. VPAG condemn anti-social behaviour of any type that could harm any park user. If you see anything similar: · Clear it up if possible and safe to do so – thanks · Contact Bristol Council on bristolparks@bristol.gov.uk to report the issue · Tell us by contacting VPAG at info@treasuremind.org or post a tweet including @vpagbristol Let’s keep Victoria Park a great environment for everyone. Graffiti - a problem where you live?There have been reports of graffiti in the Windmill Hill area, we are working with Bristol City Council to tackle these issues, but we need your help.
· When you see graffiti, report it: Report what, where (the precise location) and whether it’s offensive to the Police on 999 (if it’s in progress) or 101 (if it’s already happened) to report it as a crime. This helps us keep track of where graffiti is occurring. You can also report it for removal to Bristol City Council by calling 0117 922 2100 or online: www.bristol.gov.uk/reportgraffitiform . · Fill out an ‘indemnity form’ which gives permission for graffiti to be removed from your property by the Council’s cleansing teams.
