(apologies to Buddy Holly)

The weatherman didn't say clear today, He didn't know that we wanted to say, "Please don't be raining, Raining in the park."

The sun's not out, The sky's not blue, So many clouds right over you, It was raining, Raining in the park.

Oh littery, littery. And it was the first time for Lee. 🌧️ We get our hoops and off we go, We’re picking litter as you know , It’s still raining, raining in the park. 🌧️ We keep on going, in the rain, Soaked to the skin but don’t complain. It was raining, raining in the park .

We arrived at People’s Park in Luton and began our work by collecting the litter scattered around the park. We focused especially on picking up plastic bottles and other discarded items found along the paths and under the trees.

Working together, we cleaned the area thoroughly, removing anything that could cause mess or harm the green spaces. Thanks to the team’s cooperation, the park became cleaner and more organized, and we felt proud of our positive contribution to the community.

The GoodGymers joined up with the team at Peoples Park for the monthly litter pick. Despite the warm weather (which usually means more litter) the overall haul wasn’t as much as expected!

However we did find some litter pick firsts during today’s task! A whole BBQ complete with utensils AND a full tray of meat 🤣, we also stumbled across a toy doll and a Halloween pumpkin outfit, all a bit creepy when put together.

3 Luton Goodgymers met with Konni from FoPP/Edible Hightown to do a litterpick IN the River Lea behind bide-a-while. This stretch of the river had dried up in recent weeks so we were able to get in and get to some rubbish that we wouldn't have been able to, had the water been flowing. Some of the litterpick bingo items found on this occaison, were a bicycle, a children's tricycle, a kissing gate and a large sheet of corrugated iron. There were also 6 bags of litter and 3 bags of recycling ♻️.
It was a lovely hour well spent on a Sunday morning. Well done team 👏 👏 👏

5 of Luton Goodgyms team got stuck in at this months Litterpick at People's park. Supporting the Friends group at the park the team contributed to collecting 12 bags of rubbish and some other bits and bobs. Well done team, great effort 👌 💪 🙂 👏 👍🏻

Two of Luton Goodgym's Faithful helped out at the regular monthly litterpick at People's park. It was a fun event and we look forward to attending next month.
