Members have obviously had other things to do on the run up to Christmas. However, one member has managed to collect 9 bags of rubbish and other members have collected small amounts of litter on their perambulations and disposed of it in the nearest litter bins. No doubt there will be plenty for us to do when normality resumes.
On behalf of the Litter Picking Group may I wish all members of Hucknall & District u3a a healthy and happy 2025.

November has thrown a lot of diverse weather at us – heavy rain, strong winds and a lot of snow, none of which is conducive to litter picking. Nonetheless members of the group have braved the weather whenever possible and collected a total of 15 bags of rubbish which under the circumstances is very commendable. One member has commented how much she enjoys chatting to people as she collects litter, a comment with which I think other members of the group can associate.
Most members of the public do seem to appreciate our efforts. I just wish litter louts would pack it in!

Due mainly to holidays and health issues August has been a little slow for litter picking. However, the group have still managed to collect 9 bags of rubbish which if not collected would have remained a blot on our landscape. Most of the group tend to litter pick either singly or in pairs but if anyone is aware of an area where there is a particular problem with litter we can get together as a group and clear it.
