2022 ...

The previous two years were significantly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and relied on ad hoc picking from dedicated Ovington residents, but 2022 saw the resumption of our 'usual' village effort.

I great turnout on a bright sunny day:


And after a few hours a large haul of mixed litter ready for disposal:

2020 ...

We nearly abandoned the litter pick altogether, however with some careful consideration it was possible to hold a very restricted event while abiding with the national restricted in place because of COVID-19.

A pile of litter was gathered including the 'usual' bag of Tesco security tags from spirit bottles! The litter was picked up by the Breckland bin collection team (much thanks).

Some of the village stalwarts continue to litter pick while out taking their daily exercise.



If you would like to borrow litter-pick equipment I have a couple of sets which can be loaned to anyone interested.

2019 ...

A good turnout:

Briefing finished, safety kit on and ready to go, in fact some have already gone round the corner beyond the view of the camera:



After a couple of hours and a few times round with the Land Rover a heap had been collected, ranging from smashed car parts, fast food containers, cans and bottles to a 'magazine' collection leaving the finder open to some teasing later:



Back at the village hall for a fab lunch of sandwiches, soup, sausage rolls, biscuits and cake, lots of cake:


Usually behind the camera, Tim with coffee and soup:
 

The litter kit needed to be washed and packed ready for collection by the Thompson group who were picking the following day. The pygmy goat on the right is about to grab a picker to check the job has been done properly:
