Litter Pick 2nd April 2011
As
part of Clean Cornwall Week, we are organising a litter pick around
Bugle play park, picnic area and skate park before embarking on a walk
around the village, litter picking as we go!
We hope
the event will provide an opportunity to have an enjoyable walk whilst
getting to know neighbours. If we can all tidy the village at the same
time, so much the better. Bugle Greenspace will provide gloves, tabards
and litter pickers for all volunteers who come along.
A study has shown that 2.25m pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day. Clean Cornwall Week 2nd –10th
April is about raising awareness of the problem of litter in Cornwall
and the impact that is has on our lives. So this is a great opportunity
for us all to get together and do our bit to show that we do not want to
live with litter in our gutters and hedgerows.
If you can spare a couple of hours to join the litter pick on Saturday 2nd
April 2011, we are meeting at 10.30am in the Park Lane play park,
Bugle. Everyone is welcome but children must be accompanied by a
responsible adult.

Picnic in the Park 2010 a great success
Around
200 people joined in the fun at Bugle's second annual Picnic in the
Park. Volunteers had an early start on Sunday 18th July 2010 erecting
the marquee, setting out tables and decorating the picnic area. The
weather did not look promising but even some Cornish mizzle could not
dampen the organiser's high spirits. By midday the BBQ was sizzling,
games were being played and even the sun decided to make an appearance.
Spud and spoon races, sack races, wellie boot throwing, a soggy sponge
race and water balloon catching all gave everyone a chance to burn off
some energy and have a laugh. Meanwhile the cake and jam table, plant
table and bug hotel and bird feeder table were all creating
interest. Background music was provided thanks to Mike Jenkin and his
accordian with some good old Cornish tunes. Later Alan Jenkins and his
group gave the event some smooth guitar melodies. The event was attended
by families from Bugle, Penwithick, Stennalees, St Austell and even as
far as Launceston. Many thanks to everyone who came and supported the
event, which raised over 300 pounds which Bugle Greenspace will use to
fund further activities.
