piggy and babs 544 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 AS IT IS NEARLY TIME FOR ME TO BE GOING DOWN TO THE GARDEN CENTRES TO SEE WHAT NEW STOCK IS IN AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THE PLANTS BULBS IN BY THE END OF THE MONTH. I WAS WONDERING ABOUT WORDING FOR A PLAUQUE OF SOME KIND PRICING THEM UP AT THE MOMENT BUT HARD WITH OUTEXACT WORDING AS MOST PLACES WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY WORDS BEFORE GIVING A QUOTE.. SO CAME UP WITH A ROUGH IDEA FOR THE WORDING. WITH INDERVIDUAL NAMES OF MEMBERES ON BUSHES TREES ECT. BUT WOULD LOVE YOUR VIEWS. KATS MEMORIAL GARDEN. IN LOVING MEMORY OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF NOTTSTALGIA WHO HAVE SADLY PASSED AWAY. ANY BODY GOT ANY BETTER IDEAS BABS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piggy and babs 544 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 RIGHT I THOUGHT I BETTER POST SOMETHING ON HERE ABOUT KATS MEMORIAL HAVE HIT A COUPLE OF SNAGS AT THE MOMENT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH DOING IT AT SKILLS EXCHANGE AT THE MOMENTTHAT I CANOT MAKE PUBLIC AT THE MOMENT AS MOST MEMBERS ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS AT THE MOMENT . I HAVE CONTACTED PARKS AND GARDENS DEPARTMENT CITY COUNCIL TO SEE IF WE CAN GET AT LEAST ONE TRY IN THIS YEAR AT BREWHOUSE YARD THE CASTLE WOOLATON HALL THE FOREST REC OR THE ARBOURETUM BUT HAVE A BIG NO FROM THEM. SO AT THE MOMENT I AM SUCK FOR IDEAS AND WONDERED IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY OTHER IDEAS . MY ONLY OTHER THOUGHT WAS PERHAPS WE COULD COME UP WITH SOMEWERE IN CARLTONAS DIFFERENT COUNCIL. WHAT DO YOU LOT THINK, GOT 8 £80 POUNDS IN THE POT SO FAR AND OTHERS HAVE PROMISED MORE MONIES SAFE IN THE BANK AWAITING A DECISION OR I WILL RETURN TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY PASSED ON TO ME IF THATS WHAT THEY WISH . WAS HOPEING WE COULD DO SOMETHING WHEN ERIC COMES OVER IN NOVEMBER BUT STUCK AT THE MOMENT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Does anyone else who comes on here, know of a memorial being put up to someone local, be it a bench or tree or bushes? I'd hope it's been done before and not every request for such, gets squashed. You'd think councils would jump at the chance of getting something paid for them. I know they'd have the last say in what it was and where it was placed, but in this economy, any help towards beautifying somewhere, you'd think they'd jump on.

mick2me 3,033 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Gedling Borough Council? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 that has been one of my thought kev in the last few days , contackting gedling council to see if we could do something in the memorial garden of rest at calton that not only over looks were kat lived as a girl were she was born and went to school, but we may have to look at the cost of a bench rather than trees. kath told by city council that rather than put in trees at the moment they are redevolopeing parks and actively removeing trees in some cases.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 When I read babs post regarding having a bench rather than a tree I thought about the Attenborough Nature Reserve. I love to go there with my dog and I'm sure I've seen a bench that's dedicated to someone. It's a beautiful place to be and would be an ideal place for Kats memorial. As you all decide I thought I would throw the Attenborough idea into the hat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,640 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 If you are thinking of Attenborough nature reserve you need to contact CEMEX who still operate a live quarry and transport aggregates along the waterways, I'll see if I can find out who to contact at head office Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 THANKS MICHEAL AND ROG THATS ANOTHER IDEA TO CONCIDER IF WE CAN RAISE ENOUGH FOR A BENCH WOULD APRICIATE THE ADDRESS ROG JUST IN CASE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
