The great 8 turned up at Baffins this morning to help clean up around the pond and playing fields. Tony and Jo had ran Great Salterns parkrun beforehand, met up with Angela and Sam then we walked across to Baffins to meet Abby, Janet, Jules and Katie We grabbed our pickers and gloves and headed off in different directions looking for rubbish. Tony and Sam headed down to the waters edge and Tony managed to retrieve a can in the pond. They also found a syringe which Sam notified the organisers and this was collected separately. Abby and Julie headed off towards the woods and main field and Janet towards the other side of the pond. Angela made friends with the tame squirrels although they weren't too happy when they didn't have any food and just the nibble of a latex glove. After years of picking almost every type of litter we finally found the kitchen sink which even had the waste and taps still attached.

Other treasures found were: easter egg hunt tokens 5p vape containers plastic ties used for the bird food bags
