We've been asked to head over to Left Bank to 1) weed their gardens, and 2) check the Cardigan Road area, around Left Bank, and collect any litter that we see. We will split into two groups, and each will spend 20-30 minutes on each task.

We will be provided with gardening equipment, but if you have a trowel and gardening gloves bring them along. For the litter picking aspect, we have lots of litter pickers and purple bags, and our aim will be to clear as much as we can in the time we have available.

Please wear reflective clothing, a head/body torch and wear gloves if you have them.

For those that want to run/ cycle to the task, we will meet at Hyde Park Book Club at 5:30. It is about 3km to Left Bank from there. If you'd rather meet at the task, head straight to Left Bank, ready to start the task at 6. Please let me know when you sign up whether you will head straight to Left Bank or will meet at HPBC.

Plogging is a combination of the Swedish term "plocka up" (to pick up) and the "jogga" (jog). So plogging is exactly what we will be doing on Wednesday evening this week.

Armed with litter pickers and bin bags we'll set forth from the Coop on Butcher Hill in West Park at 6:30pm to jogga and plocka any rubbish as and where we find it. I will bring litter pickers with me and bin bags. If you have gardening gloves and additional bin bags please bring them. Also, please bring a head or body torch and wear reflective clothing.

There's plenty of litter to plocka so we'll not be running far or fast, I imagine we'll probably cover no more than about 5K in total with lots of stops to remove refuse.

If we have people join who would prefer to walk, we can split the group so that half run and the other half walk. We will all meet back at the Coop at 7:15pm.

We will be heading over to Kirkstall Farm to help the team there paint over 70 chairs (not all in one evening). We will head over to the Farm, and meet up with one of the team there, who will show us what needs to be done and we can crack on and paint as many chairs as we can in the hour we have at the farm.

If you'd like to head straight to the farm, the address is: Kirkstall Valley Farm, by Ready Steady Store, Kirkstall Rd, Kirkstall, Leeds LS4 2DD

If you'd like to run/ walk/ cycle to KVDF, we will meet at the Abbey House Museum and Gardens - there is a car park opposite if you'd like to drive and run/walk/cycle the last part of the journey. It is 1.2 miles from the museum to the farm. We will run at a pace suitable for all.

Whilst we will be running along a well lit road, please wear reflective clothing and/or a body or head torch to ensure that you can be seen by others.
