I spent about an hour there to do the whole thing. So with even two people it would be done in a flash. There was a homeless person sleeping in one corner of the green space so I didn’t feel comfortable litter picking there but that’s probably good therapy for me as a recovering perfectionist. 😂 Definitely a bring a litter pick scenario since I found all sorts of stuff there. The only challenge was where to dispose of the trash afterward, since there was a lot of it. Luckily, the receptionist at the local Travelodge was really kind and offered to get rid of it for me. Overall a very rewarding mission and definitely a good candidate for a weekly litter pick. I’m not here next weekend, but if anyone is free to join me, I’ll be going the following Saturday.

This evening we did a speedy litter pick around St Paul's and the joined COBS for their social Thursday run. Big well done to Veronika on her first COBS run.

Great work keeping the streets clean and on the run, topped off by a well earned drink after!

Our wonderful Amy is taking on more responsibility at the Stirchley Community Market and so she led us all in a team building task setting up a market stall to see how many pieces we had!!

Laura and Sofeen had put up the stall before so quickly took to assembling the pieces and showing us what to do. It felt like an escape room or crystal maze puzzle!! With Laura's memory and a sort of helpful photo Amy had - we managed to get it together! Abigail and Chris were excellent organisers, getting the pieces ready and coming up with solutions.

The hardest part of the day was putting the heavy metal pieces back quietly while a class was in session in the community centre! We also kept having the door closed on us. Quite the team building experience.

Srinivas joined us in Stirchley for the first time and did amazingly on our 3k run. Hope to see you again!!

Shout out to Veronika who cycled to the mission and then did a run with us! Duathlon vibes.
