Our task this week is unofficially sponsored by a random game that made up the best part of our litter pick.

We found so many cards, testing our knowledge of "what came first?". Did you know that The Robot dance pre-dates R2D2? Or that sandwiches are older than the USA?

Whilst mini-GGer Alice and I focused on the litter, the guys got down to work unwrapping the now defunct plastic protections from some hedgerow at the Lake Road roundabout. Their proficiency was so good I dramatically underestimated how much they'd get done in such a small space of time!

Well done to Gbenro for braving the drizzle to come to his first session to help clean Bransbury Park!

He and Laura managed to pick up a bike inner tube that was tangled up in a bush.

We also found a lonely medical boot that had been dumped. Was it someone who, whilst out for a walk, suddenly realised they didn't need it anymore?

Thanks to Colas for always collecting the bags we fill!

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.
