This evening we were at Salthill park doing a litter pick task. It never fails to amaze us on how much litter this one park alone generates! Even though we collected 4 bags on Sunday there was still so much to do tonight.

Whilst we waited for everyone to get to the meet up point outside the activity centre, we started on the car park with our named session.

Whats my name!

So the task was to see if we could find litter that spelt out our names..

Agnija found actimel; gum and nails

Jen - using her full name found - Juice; exciting things; novelty toy; napkins; ice lolly; Fanta; exotic things; ribena

Pam aka Parmjit found Plenty of plastic, rubber balloons; ice cream wrapper, juice cartons

Peter found Paper, plates, playing cards, tickets, rappers (lots of pees; no e's and a phonetic way for spelling wrapper!)

I found a mayo wrapper and a napkin!

But the overall winner was Jean who managed to spell out her first name and surname!

Juice; Egg shell in egg cup, Air freshener packet, Napkins

Water; Apple core , Tissues; Toys; Spoon

Well done Jean!

All these items filled 6 bags! and we only covered the car park and play area.

Next week is our 6th birthday which means there will be cake. Please do come along

We went out and did another local litter pick. Litter picks are fun way of being outside whilst some necessary carework!

The park was looking very littered after a weekend of frolicking. We cleaned up what we could and the park looked & felt much better!
We separated plastic bottles into our red bin

The village was looking somewhat neglected with Pond Weed and Reeds having taken over due to the water flow pipes being blocked. The local councillor, the Landlady of the village pub and members of Cippenham Royal British Legion brought together local residents to form a volunteers working party to unblock the drain, remove some of the reeds and deweed the pond, we also cut back nettles, brambles and ivy from one corner and managed to fit in a litter pick. It was such a fulfilling way to spend a Sunday morning and there was a real appetite to form a regular working party.

Wonderful to see our GG come to celebrate Salt Hill Juniors 5th Birthday, theres never a party without a Litter Pick.

Think the party had already started without.... party plates and Vodka. followed by bedtime with a Dummy .

3 bags of litter was collected today!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Three good gymers walked from Upton Court Park to Eton across the playing fields in beautiful sunshine on one of the hottest days of the year. Iced coffees and chocolates and pastries obtained in celebration of Helen's birthday before returning to Upton to litter pick the area around the car park. Lots of litter dumped in the bushes - even found a love letter and smiley toy too. we left the park a better environment for everyone.
