Brainstorming!

FoVS Group Ideas

If you've come across this Page then you have found our list of all the ideas we as a group are coming up with, playing around with and ultimately deciding whether we want to implement any of them.

All the ideas listed here have come from our many members, and it doesn't matter if they're small or big, cheap or might cost us a bit, we've added them here for consideration now, and possible usage later on.

If you have an idea you'd like to include here, please Contact Us using the form below. We can accept ideas from non-members too.

​

REMEMBER! This is just a list of ideas people have suggested. IT DOES NOT MEAN we will be using them. We do have to take into consideration many factors for some of these (including such things like viability, council permission and even popularity) so the process to go from this simple list to an actual working element is not easy. PLEASE DO NOT voice your objections at this time!

Thank you.

​

Many of the ideas on here have either come through casual chats amongst volunteers, general feedback from members / the public, random ideas people have suddenly had and also the General Meeting on 6th October 2021, where we got together to discus this sort of thing.
