On Sunday 10th June, members of SI Glasgow City took part in an organised walk in the West End of Glasgow to raise awareness of World Environment Day 2018. They were joined on the walk by family, friends, members of the SI Paisley Club and Glasgow members Sheena and Annie’s dogs!
The mile long walk mapped out by Moira Ord, one of our Club’s Programme Action Convenors, wound its way through leafy Kelvingrove Park, along Kelvin Way, University Avenue, Byres Road and ended at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. As they walked, participants collected litter, filling several large bin bags in the process. Walkers wore the Suffragette colours, white, green and violet, in support of the marches in the UK’s 4 Capital Cities, commemorating the centenary of the granting of the vote to some women, which were also taking place on that Sunday and stopped at the Suffragette Tree on Kelvin Way to take photographs.
Congratulations to Moira for organising a really enjoyable event which also contributed to cleaning up the environment.
