4 goodgymers set out on another evening for our second litter pick of the year. We started from Siren bar and did a loop around Reading town centre, ending by Reading Minster.
It was a cold but refreshing night and we also had the pleasure of welcoming Ricky to the group for his first GoodGym task. Along the way, we collected a good 3 full rubbish bags of paper, wrappers, plastic bags and many many cans and bottles!
After a good haul, we ended the night with a group photo and a lovely farewell. Great job team Reading and looking forward to our next one!

On the litter pick it was mentioned that the council wouldn't provide bags. But Reading Council do a scheme where they supply litter pickers, hi-vis vests and bags to individuals and groups to adopt a street/area. Here's the link (or search RAYS on their Web site): https://www.reading.gov.uk/about-reading/improving-your-community/reading-adopt-your-street-rays/

Thanks Ricky, that's who we contacted before, but will give it another go and see what we can do! Hopefully we will have them the next time you join us :)
