Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Julian Osman
There is the common saying that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. And we’ve all heard of the person who gave Aunt Betty’s stamp collection to the jumble sale only to later find it contained the inverted Jenny (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Jenny) or who came across a first edition of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in the local Oxfam.
It would take a tremendous optimist to find value in what Good Gym clears out of Charlton Park but undeterred 5 treasure hunters descended on Saturday morning to clean the park. The park is popular on summer’s evenings and your author had expected to find a lot of mess to clean up but it was pleasing that after an hour or so we maybe had one black bags full of rubbish. The pick complete and having failed to discover a discarded copy of Action Comics No.1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Comics_1) we made our merry way off.
Friends of Charlton Park is a community group for users of Charlton Park. Anyone can join and it's free, together we organise events, help the environment and share information about the park and all the great groups and people that use it.
