Thursday's MUG's AGM will decide on a proposal to change the name for the group from Millfields Users' Group (MUG) to Friends of Millfields (FOM) (full agenda below).
Although MUGs has always been an unfortunate acronym, we'd be sorry to see the group lose "users" from its name. "Users" suggests it is our park and we have should have a voice in how it is looked after. It's more empowering than "Friends" which sounds like a hobby for nice people with time on their hands. Wouldn't Millfields Park Users' Group (MPUG) be better? Anyway, whatever your view, do turn up and have your say!
Agenda for the agm below.
