Annual Riverbank Cleanup

Thornbury,BS35 1PW

07 May 2010

23:00

We are having our annual Riverbank Cleanup on the morning of Saturday 8th May – please join us at 10.00am at the Sailing Club. The aim is to remove all the litter and debris from the riverbank from the Power Station, down past the Sailing Club, to the village boundary towards Whale Wharf. Families and children are very welcome – kids love collecting litter - and we plan, as usual, to finish the cleanup with a BBQ at 12.00 to reward you for your hard work ! There is no cost to take part and all necessary equipment will be provided. 49 people turned out to help at the Riverbank Cleanup last year – let’s see if we can beat that this time. In case you wonder why we are holding it in the morning this year, it’s because that’s when low tide is – we don’t want anyone floating off to Wales for the afternoon. Thank you and please join us ! .

Triton Road cycle picker
I joined my friend Ryan's group Clean Lincoln Everywhere And Now and we picked the virge and copse along am 800m stretch of Triton Rd in Lincoln. Afterwards I decided to attempt to manage it by litter picking, by bike, on my daily commute to and from work. I also join in with the Sincil Bank River Care team, when I can. I enjoy working in and on the water.

Mashamshire Litter Busters
Mashamshire is an area of outstanding beauty. We are doing what we can to preserve it. We do litter collection along the lanes and footpaths in and around Masham - and we find loads of plastic. We are reducing the impact of micro-plastics on the diet of your children and grand-children! A Masham resident has kindly offered to pay for our group meeting coffees. Many thanks. As we go about Mashamshire we get many kind appreciations from folk that we meet.
