Hi Josephine It's one of the many things we are trying to raise money to support the cemetery - unfortunately at the moment interest in this talk has been disappointing - it has just failed to catch the imagination for some reason. Previous lectures have been successful and the speakers don't charge a fee so admission charges support the cemetery. It is going to be quite a challenge to keep Arnos Vale open as a working cemetery we need to find something like £250,000 a year to do so. Anyone visiting Bristol should make sure they drop by - it is a wonderful place and of course free to visit. Friends of Arnos Vale Cemetery volunteers run a cafe in on Saturdays 10.30 - 14.00.
