3 GoodGymers deployed to the Leigh Woods side of the Avon River this morning clearing an admirable 6 bin liners of various flotsam and jetsam. An abundance of footballs lead to an impromptu kick / stick around. Nice work team!

Rubbish luggage all aboard

Saturday 14th September 2024

Written by David Head

A fantastic day greeting us on the Avon for our monthly surface against sewage litter pick.

Mark, our fantastic host, greeted us with his 2 barrels. Welcome to Molly for her first GG good deed 👏.

We scaled the banks collecting recyclables and non recyclables. A large cabin bag was our largest find today. A great job keeping our Avon cleaner for all to enjoy🌄

Surfing a home run

Saturday 28th June

Written by David Head

A warming up morning greeted 4 GGers and a lovely group of surfers against sewage. We sweeped across the Avon banks with our pickers wading through the long grass and finding loads of litter in the clear verges including a toy base ball bat to stimulate the pun. In the end we wheeled back 8 full bags of rubbish and bulky items. A big home run of rubbish saved from the Avon. Awesome 👌

Shank you (?), that was a knife evening

Tuesday 24th June

Written by Bristol runner

It really was a (was a was a was a) knife evening. We set off sharply. The blade runners and knife walkers arrived… We picked through every blade… of grass. We carved through the park like a hot knife through butter. We… I give up with the knife puns now. We didn’t get all the litter but I’ll get to the point and cut to the chase…

Thanks for helping write the report everyone, this will only make sense to us. For some added information we went to Spith Street park and Dame Emily park and did some litter picking 👀

What a first session for Michael.

Shanks for the memories.

Until next time…

Loaf Actually

Sunday 22nd June

Written by David Head

To loaf or not to loaf? A dry morning greeted us as we met at Alpha bottle shop to meet the BS3 community led my Ian. Equipped with our picks, gloves, high vis vests and bags we cleared lotyer around an area near the green verges around the new student complexes. Then we loafed at the idea of coffee as the rain set in. A great morning and cleaner streets for all 👍🌟
