Great Storrington clean up

Posted

SUNDAY 4th MARCH 10am-12noon

Once again Storrington in Bloom volunteers will be out and about in the village cleaning up the streets and open spaces as part of the Keep Britain Tidy “Great British Spring Clean” campaign.

In past years we have had great public support and are hoping for a good turnout again this year. If you have a couple of hours to spare please come and join us. No experience necessary!

We will meet at Place Villerest (opposite HSBC) at 10am. Bags and litter pickers will be provided but please bring any tools (gloves, broom, rake etc) that might be useful.

All ages welcome. Refreshments will be served at 12noon.

We look forward to seeing you.

Storrington in Bloom ‘Cleans for the Queen’

Clean up clean up

On Sunday 10th April twenty five Storrington in Bloom volunteers spent two hours weeding, cleaning and tidying the streets and car parks of Storrington as part of the “Clean for the Queen” campaign.

Thirty five rubbish sacks were filled with litter and weeds. Luckily the weather was kind and everyone had a great time. Coffee and cake was served at 12.00 to thank everyone for their heroic efforts.

There will be another clean up day at the beginning of July to prepare the village for the visit of the South and South-East In Bloom judges. The date will be published on the website and as always everyone is welcome.

2nd Storrington Guides Help In Bloom

Posted

On Wednesday 9th July, 2nd Storrington Guides joined Friends of Meadowside in a clear up for Storrington in Bloom. The girls split in to two groups, one litter picking around the meadow area and stream, the remainder heading to the library car park with brooms and litter pickers to clean up the library car park and steps. In just over an hour between the group of 18 they managed to collect up 10 bags of rubbish and several large bits of metal and wood! This demonstrates how much it is possible to achieve in a short amount of time if you put your mind to it.

Big thank you to all our supporters who turned out to help.

And a BIG thanks to all our volunteers and local businesses without whom none of this would be possible.
