Going to attempt a service on my Brava (Formula) for the first time, currently on the list of things to do are:
Oil and Filter change
Air Filter change
Brake Pad change (this needs doing anyway)
New spark plugs.

Anything else I should do?

Hi, if it's a 1242cc FIRE then that'll do for now, look for a pollen filter in there somehwere..:idea:

then later on in the year.. it's worth considering cam-belt, water puimp + coolant change at the same time, ( all related jobs)

Check your rear brakes. Probably drums - so that means taking off the drum and cleaning all the dust out. Check the wear on the rear shoes while you are in there and make sure the rear slave cylinders have not been leaking fluid - peel back the slave cylinder dust seals and make sure all dry. Do not operate the handbrake or footbrake while the drums are off.

Adjust your handbrake if necessary (once drums are refitted).

Bleed the brake system (flush new fluid through)
Bleed the clutch (flush fresh fliud through)

Check your coolant level.
Check washers, wipers, horn, lights & indicators.

take a close look at wheels & tyres while they are off the car. Clean them. Pick stones out of tread. Measure tread depth and look for uneven wear = indication of tracking not within spec and/or wear of bushes, ball joints etc.

Just have a general look round while the car is up on axle stands.

Chack for play in the wheel bearings and steering.

Should I go on?

Good luck & enjoy
