Kudos to everyone for turning up today, most people would have stayed inside to avoid the potential for getting caught in thunder, lightening or hail, all of which were seen in the hour before we met.

Jen's stop the rain dance ALMOST kept us dry for the whole task tonight though. So we all need to learn it for next time....

We met outside Fratton Community Centre and headed down Clive Road to the footbridge.

Before crossing the bridge we tidied around the bottom of the steps but we did have to leave the suitcase and it's undesirable contents in place. 💩

Once we got into the alleys the rain stopped and we just had to navigate round some puddles. We picked up plenty of rubbish, filling 3 black bags which we left by the red bin for PCC / Colas to collect. Jo exited stage left and headed home.

We also collected lots of recycling for Jen's green bin and 2 bags of glass which Vicki tried to fit in one Bag for Life. Ellie repurposed her bag once Vicki's was full and brought another whole bag back to Fratton to empty into the bottle bank in car park.

All in all, a good haul with a good / mad group of people.

And more good deeds counted for the January Challenge - excellent work team!
