Medway and Maidstone Soroptimists, Sue Daykin, Stella Barnes and Jane Barnes joined with other FoRCE volunteer litter pickers. To ensure our safety we were provided with long handled pickers, black bags and wore Hi-Viz jackets.<\/p>\n<p>We set off along the Esplanade, around the outside walls of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.english-heritage.org.uk\/visit\/places\/rochester-castle\/\">Rochester Castle<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercathedral.org\/\">Cathedral<\/a> to pick up any discarded litter.\u00a0 Although it was a rather chilly and windy day, the sun was shining and the flower beds were in bloom.<\/p>\n<p>It was a productive and worthwhile time and we returned with our bags of rubbish. The filled bags were all put together at a collection point ready for the local council to take away.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid gap=&#8221;10&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1649095880264-11ab0456-674a-10&#8243; include=&#8221;5829,5825,5824,5827,5828,5826&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 2022 Great British Spring Clean takes place between 25 March \u2013 10 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":730,"featured_media":5834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[286,287,285,234,176,288,253],"class_list":["post-5822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","tag-bigbagchallenge","tag-force","tag-great-british-spring-clean","tag-litter-pick","tag-medway-and-maidstone-soroptimists","tag-rochester-castle","tag-rochester-cathedral"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Where did the Soroptimists take part in the Great British Spring Clean? | News | Blog | Events | SI Medway and Maidstone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Medway and Maidstone : Blog &amp; News : Where did the Soroptimists take part in the Great British Spring Clean? : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Medway and Maidstone .
