Party on the Park

2 Eames Orchard,Ilminster,TA19 0BZ

23 Aug 2014

23:00

The Ilminster Party on the Park is organised by a team of volunteers for residents to support local charity groups by visiting their stalls, listening to local music groups, joining in the tug-of-war comptetion, watching a puppet show and enjoying a hog roast and picnics. The event was well supported by Ilminster residents and others from the surrounding area. The event team had provided extra bins to supplement the fixed bins on the recreation ground. People came with picnics or bought food from the stalls, tuck shop and tea tent. The Shed (cricket and football) bar was in operation throughout the event. The bins were emptied by volunteers throughout the event (noon to 8pm), so litter was kept to a minimum, but excluding the bins which produced some 16 bags of rubbish was collected..

South Common Litter Picking Crew
I set up the group on realizing there were areas of Lincoln's South Common where litter had been accumulating for years. We have managed to get on top of this situation and are now kept busy due to litter being left around the ponds and viewpoints around the common throughout the year . Since I started picking it I've seen weasels fighting, dear, buzzards and kestrel, herron, partridge and pheasants which, for me, makes it one of the most enjoyable places to pick in Lincoln.

Collie Collections
Currently most of the work is done by my Border Collie who collects crisp and other wrappers and plastic bottles. She then finds the nearest waste bin and puts the litter in it. She has been doing this for the past 5 years.
