Cronton 6th Form College students are joining with Cronton Pathways and BTCV to clear the Quarry of litter in preparation for a drama production they are due to perform there. The students' pieces are based around the myths of Meg Pusey, The Devil's Chair and the pixie sightings around the area and will take place on Wednesday, 8th February 2012 from 4.30pm. Volunteers to join us in the clearing would be most welcome. Meet at 11am, Sunday 5th February at the BTCV centre on Pex Hill. Pickers, gloves and bags will be provided. On a freezing, foggy morning six of us turned up for our task of litter-picking Pex Hill Quarry. Three students, Sophie, Adam and Rebecca, Siobhan from BTCV and Dave and Bess from Cronton Pathways collected 7 bags of litter, a bucket of broken glass and a huge TV from the quarry during the two hours we were there. How that tv got there is a mystery-it was a monster! Dave did a stirling job manhandling it up the quarry steps and then up the hill in a wheelbarrow.
The area now looks ready for receiving the performers and audience on Wednesday night. Thanks to all for their efforts..
