4 Goodgymmers met in Kidwells park for a mini litter pick.

The cancellation of the original task did not stop these 4 Goodgymmers from getting out in the community. They turned they hand from furniture shifting to litter picking at the drop of hat. Diya, Kanika, Roberta and Jess met by the fountain in Kidwells Park on this lovely warm evening. They put bags in hoops and brandished the litter picks as they made their way around the park clearing away the mess left by the park users. Although with flowers and ground lights being mistaken for rubbish its a wonder the park survived our ambush!

It was surprising / disappointing the amount of litter collected in the short 30 minutes considering there are a multitude of rubbish bins already provided in the park! On the other hand it gives us another excuse to visit the lovely park on another night!

The original task is rescheduled for next week, so look out for the listing!
