BRACKLEY LITTER WOMBLES

  There are a few mini picks coming up this week. Wednesday 26th July 10:00 from the library.  Main zone will be the boarded up building by the Unicorn , Market Place and High Street. Perfect to bring your kids   Thursday 27th July 2:00 meet at The Baptist Church.  Main zone will be the baptist church field and hedges. This is a nettly area so do come protected. More for adults due to nettle hazard.   If there are any zones you have spotted that you think a group could tackle in an hour, please let us know below as we could easily set up a couple of mini picks each week. Someone mentioned allotments to me this morning but I have a brain like a sieve and can't remember which set of allotments!

 We ended up with 20 Wombles in the rain this morning to tackle the leisure centre field! Persistent rain stopped play after about an hour and a quarter so we'll be back again. Thank you to everyone that came.   17 bin bags!           A few bedraggled Wombles at the end. Thank you to the leisure centre for the subsidised drinks!      

  This week's awards...    WOMBLE(S) OF THE WEEK Year 3 from Brackley Junior School who's efforts on the field near their school was recognised by the public. Fantastic work by mini wombles!     Once again, no LUCKY FIND OF THE WEEK but keep your eyes peeled for random weirdness or money!  

  12 bags recorded for last week putting us on 22 so far for July. Great work Wombles. I'm sure there are still lots that secret Wombles have done   Our community Womble on Saturday morning, 10:00 at the leisure centre, will, I'm sure, get us a good haul. Don't forget to wear something that will protect your legs as we'll be working in hedges and ditches.

  A few more donated items! Thank you toCarol Fleming from Higildipigildi who bought us some mini womble gloves!! We also have another dozen litter pickers coming.  

 This had been spotted in Wimbledon! We feel we need one for Brackley and our crochet expert is on the case. Look out for it at the start of September.

  Brilliant wombling by BJS Year 3 this morning! 7 bags of litter! FANTASTIC!   We tackled the old swimming pool car park and dog walking field. It was lovely to meet the daughter of one of our sponsors Ruben Figueira. Each child (and also the teachers) earnt their Brackley Litter Womble badges.
