It was touch & go but in the end the Sun shone down on Pencaitland’s army of litter pickers who scoured the streets & pathways for a record rubbish haul.
The Community Council would like to say a huge thank you to all those who took part in today’s event. In addition to the usual well-trodden routes, with such a good turnout we were able to cover far more ground which resulted in a significant increase in the amount finally collected. It’s estimated that the volume of litter bagged is around double the amount retrieved at last year’s event.
Many thanks also to Pencaitland Primary for putting together some fantastic posters publicising the event.
Amongst the flotsam found:
- Two Wooly hats
- Three single gloves
- Three wellies
- Four car hubs
- Many many plastic and glass bottles and aluminium cans.
- A pair of jeans
- Underpants
- A hoodie
- A truck mud guard

Pencaitland Community Council
Ian Archer and the team behind the Pencaitland Youth Football Club are running an open day for new kids wanting to take part.
As Ian explains, “I’m sure you are missing your fix of football on a Saturday morning so luckily, ahead of the new season starting when the school summer holidays are over, we are having an open day to encourage more kids born in 2004/2005 to join the club.
 |
Hopefully many of the current squads can come along and show the newcomers how it is done. We’ll have the usual mix of fun games and 4v4 matches.
Hope to see you and your kids on the 6th – note starts at 10am, not our usual 9am start.”
So if you have a boy or girl born on 2004 & 2005 come along to a fun morning of soccer 4’s on Saturday 6 August 2011 from 10am to 12 noon at Pencaitland Park.
PYFC aims to have the new 2005 age group up and running from 20 August and also has additional spaces in its 2001 & 2003 age groups. If you are interested in finding out more about these age groups, please contact Jim.
