Must admit I'm puzzled as to how it would interfere with the village show. I missed this year's show, but previous ones were held in the central grassy area. Isn't the proposed MUGA adjacent to the old tennis courts area?
I missed the BRRA AGM, but did take part in an earlier walk round Rosefield Park with another consultation group, which comprised of a handful of interested residents and some community council members. I was in the minority, when I expressed enthusiasm for the idea of a MUGA. I think there is a fear, among some residents, that it would encourage congregation of unruly youths. To be fair to them, this isn't an unreasonable fear, as Rosefield Park has suffered in the past from this. The installation of bright lighting and a CCTV camera has really helped, however, and I don't think the MUGA would be anything other than an asset.
