Litter pick report from Gill James -
"Today's #WansteadPark litter pick was attended by just 3 people! An all-time low? However, we sold lots of Valentines knitted bunnies and Jo, Lucy and I had a successful time with the bookstall. It is a great networking opportunity."
Tomorrow (Sunday)!

"Friday's quiz was a great success with a nice friendly sociable atmosphere. It was fully booked and there wasn't a spare chair to be found and not much room to move either: 80 people attended plus the organisers. Profit was £801.80."
