The Turvey Road Re-do!

18 meadway,Harrold,Bedford,Mk437dr

19 Oct 2019

23:00

Covering the Turvey Rd Event meet at Carlton usual place 1.30pm for no more than 2 hours duration. Six litter pickers tackled the Turvey Road yesterday for which we had lovely cool weather just right for litterpicking. Turvey Road has been one of our litter pick stretches previously, so we found it much easier work than the first time round bagging 7 sacks of litter. It was lovely to meet up again after a rather long Summer break. We all agreed must meet up again soon hopefully around end of November. Have updated the Bags Collected So Far and we have now on our seventh event topped 100 bags! Yay!!.
