Tonights task was to help Everyone Active at The Centre with a much needed litter pick.
The Centre is a very popular fitness centre and with a large car park it does attract a lotta litter!
So after a call with the Area Manager who needed our help in clearing the car park we managed to squeeze in 2 visits over the past few weeks. Last time we collected one dozen bags and today it was doctors orders with 9!

Today was also a special birthday for a special lady. Jean had spent her 88th birthday with a celebratory lunch at The Ivy in Windsor followed by a litter pick with us lot! How many 88 year olds could possibly do this??
We did manage to get Jean to blush though as we approached random strangers in the car park and asked if they would join us in singing Jean 'happy birthday'!
Jean found herself some balloons and a recharge unit to give her a further 88 years
Happy Birthday to our most loved GG member!
Don't be a bean.. keep Slough clean
Thankfully the car park was a litter bit better than our last visit so it goes to show that people tend to litter more when there is already rubbish there!
However, we still had plenty of junk to slam dunk!
Lauren found a whole new outfit;
Sutyee found a fan!;
Abdulaziz found plenty of fizzy drinks and
Jean got herself plenty of birthday drinks, takeouts and balloons!
45 mins in and we pretty much cleared the car park... around all the parked cars!
