The Shining Stars evening walk into the dark is lit by lights, sparkle and happy participants.

GoodGymers supported the walk by marshalling, handing out tea-lights and glitter, and managing the sales desk.

We spent a very pleasant half an hour, in good company cleaning up part of the beautiful Milton Park. We filled three medium-sized bags mostly with small bits of food wrappers and cigarette butts.

4 Goodgymers worked with the little squirrels and Beavers from the 48th Scouts to take part in the Great British Beach Clean. Hats, Table legs and lot of tint plastic was saved from the seas! well done all!

4 GoodGymers & apprentice Betsy strode around the streets of Copnor to deliver leaflets advertising The Shining Stars events.

We managed to avoid the barking dogs and the snapping letterboxes.

And we found the home growing the most interesting front-garden vegetables.

Kingston Rec is always a treasure trove for litter picking, so what better place for Round 2 of Litter Pick Bingo!

Rob joined us for his first official GoodGym task, after his usual Bad-Minton session had been sadly cancelled. In probably one of the wildest coincidence in litter pick history, we found one of the pin badges that Rob gives out at the training he delivers half-buried in dirt under a bench!

Katie was the first to claim "Bingo!" on her card, but was usurped when Jim came in close behind, but with an actual item of clothing, rather than a rubber glove!

Sinéad was first to fill her bag, and probably had the weirdest find with a full outfit and a wig, found in a bush. Katie did get the final prize for heaviest bag, thanks to a shopping basket and a metal post!

Dave had a "Dirty Dancing" moment, where he carried a watermelon, and Rob found a lone "Chess" piece, carrying on the musical theme.

Well done, everyone!

Vanessa and I gave this small patch a thorough clean-up.

It may look a bit neglected but this small area is home to many insects. We saw beautiful butterflies, hoverflies, beetles a wasp and many leaping grasshoppers (possibly Common Field Grasshoppers)!

Can you spot him in the photo?
