Report written by Yianny (he / him)
We will keep it brief this week but an excellent session was had running GG Lambeth's inaugural Bingo Litter Pick!
Before we get to the details it was lovely to welcome Peter for his first ever GG session, thanks for joining Peter it was great to have you with us!
So to tonight's session, the premise is simple - in pairs head out with gloves on and some black bags and collect as many items of litter as possible while trying to tick off items from the grid in the description of the task. There are two winning categories, first is quantity of litter picked by a pair and the second is the most boxes checked off the grid.
The group set off for a breezy 3km run round the nicer parts of Stockwell and then looped back to meet Aimee at base, collect the bags and gloves and then head off. For those who track these things tonight's category was favourite wild animal and we had some great ones like tapir, red panda, platypus and so on.
Our final pairs were Peter and Joao, Maya and Aimee and Clare and Hannah with AA Yianny adjudicating. Arguably the most interesting item found was a coconut shell by Maya/Aimee but our outright winners having brought back 3 bin liners full and ticking off a mammoth 21 boxes were Hannah and Clare!!
Well done everyone, not only did we make Lambeth a tidier place but it was a fun task to try out and will definitely be back again this summer - who dares to take on the Litter Pick Bingo matrix??!!
