Date of collapse – 1981 or 1982 edit

The current version says "heavy snow fall in 1981 caused the roof of the pavilion to collapse", possibly based on the Cardiff Parks website. However, several other sites give the year as 1982, just before Black Sabbath were due to perform on 13 Jan 1982. This BBC blog says that the collapse was due to a snowstorm that started on 7 January 1982. This is confirmed by WalesOnline and Parks and Gardens UK. Maybe that the roof was damaged by snow in December 1981 and collapsed after further snow in January 1982. I will change the date to 1982, citing WalesOnline.
