December is a busy time of year, but to keep up the momentum, we put on a litter pick from 10 till 11 am.
A
bout ten of us turned up on a misty morning and in the space of an hour cleared at least ten bin bags of rubbish from Old Leo’s carpark, Crag Lane, the Sqairfoot Lane carpark, the recreation ground and the woods in general.
A big thank you to everyone who helped.
Who ya gonna call? Litter busters!

Eleven of us met in Old Leo’s clubhouse on a fine morning for our annual Christmas Garlands event.
In a relaxed atmosphere, we chatted, drank coffee, ate mince pies and listened to Christmas music as we threaded leylandii sprigs into pre-prepared rings and decorated them with pine cones, holly and baubles.
The Garlands are very popular and we had orders for sixteen from last years customers.
A big thank you to everyone who helped to make the garlands, and to Old Leo’s for letting us use their clubhouse. Special mentions in despatches are due to David, Brian and Stephanie – David and Brian who helped the previous Saturday to prepare for the event by dismantling and recycling some of last year’s garlands and for making more of the bases. Thank you too to David for pre-preparing some garlands, and providing some of the leylandii, and to Brian for making half a dozen excellent ring bases and for purchasing copious supplies of wire before the event. Thank you to Stephanie for completing many beautiful garlands to fulfil the hopes and dreams of our enthusiastic supporters.
