Beast from the East ?
On a freezing cold evening 5 of us braved the elements to do a tidy up of Anchor Gardens which is a seafront flowerbed which we have been visiting for several years.
Thank you to my team Paul, Sue, El, Stéphane and Ricky for their time and effort tonight.
We filled 3 bags of debris mainly thanks to Stephane's pruning of the large palm together with El's pruning of the other large palm tree/bush. With debris collected, it was job done for another week.
Wishing you a happy and healthy week and hope to see lots of you next week.

A welcome back evening
It was so nice to see Sue and Craig back this evening and we do hope that we will continue to see more of you in the coming weeks and months - we have missed you both :)
Tonight we set to work to clear more rubbish in our local beauty spot. We have already visited this area twice in the last 6 weeks but sadly, it always needs more attention.
Craig started near where we had parked and found a substantial amount of litter straight away.
Barbara and Sue set of to the far end of the task and worked backwards walking towards us. they quickly filled a bag and started on a second!
Stéphane and El headed straight to the most littered part of the area where Roxy, Paula and I pitched in too. Highly addictive !
Before long we had filled 7 more bags to the brim. This means that in the last 6 weeks we have filled 22 bags ! Sadly we had to leave the bigger items of wood and parts from a computer but what a HUGE difference we have made ! Visually the area now looks clear. We will revisit this beauty spot every month so that we can get this area under control especially during the spring and summer months.
Thank you all for tonight and see you next week

On a stunning evening on the extremely sunny south coast 10 of us gathered at Heene Community Rooms garden on our mission to finish laying cardboard under the freshly dug soil.
Congratulations to Mel on her first half marathon at Brighton at the weekend - the first of many I think! Also well done to Paul who pulled a great time out of the bag despite having been ill.
Megan and Stéphane headed out for some interval sprints down to the seafront and back. They were worked on a perceived exertion scale gradually increasing the effort over 5 repetitions of the same distance. Suffice to say I think they had a great work out!
Ricky worked on removing tape from the cardboard that I had acquired whilst the rest of the team worked on digging up the soil and digging it in.
Shout out to our very own ultra runner Roxy who despite all her recent kilometres, put some energetic digging. Many thanks to you all for some serious effort with this task - I actually feel we may have finally cracked it !
El came up with this great pun after I had mentioned to John that it was fine to take a break from his energetic raking !
During the task eagle eyed Belinda spotted our very own Worthing fonder member Beth running by with her brother and Dad. I hackled her enough that she couldn't ignore it so she stopped for a brief chat and photo :) What a lovely surprise!
Many thanks to Paul for completing his task force training - maybe a task report may be a first chance to flex your TF muscles?!
Looking forward to seeing lots of you next week - I'm not quite sure what the task will be but watch this space !
