On 20th May some members of the club – and a Soroptimister – gathered at Balgonie Bleachfields at Coaltown of Balgonie to do a litter pick. This picture shows what a corner of the car park was like before we arrived. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately the lovely area seems to attract people who eat a takeaway meal and then throw out the paper and boxes. There is a bin but it’s in a place to suit the council, not where it’s easy for people to deposit their waste. Of course they could always take it home….<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Bleachfields was originally a flat area where chemicals were added to linen and it was bleached in the sun, from around the mid 18th century. The business closed in 1965 when improvements meant that linen no\u00a0 longer had to be bleached by the sun. The area was taken over by the council for landfill and now there is a hill which is the landfill covered by soil on which grows trees, bushes and many wild flowers. It is a very popular place for dog walkers.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As well as clearing the car park and the bleachfields of litter we also walked up and down the road outside where there were numerous bottles etc. New President Sally had the best haul of the day from near the car park – a pair of men’s shorts, underpants, a towel and a blue pill!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
