We have organised an event to carry out a litter pick walk on Jesus Green (and possible Midsummer Common as well if enough people turn up!) and wanted to know if you were interested/able to help promote our event and try and reach as many people as possible.
It will be held on Sunday the 14th of July from 10 am to 11 am (so not too long a time) meeting at and ending up at the Jesus Green Lido so we can use bathrooms and relax with a nice coffee and a small cake after.
Families are more than welcome and it could be a nice group activity as well. The pool has offered to give anyone who attends use of the pool after the event so it should be a great opportunity to get out, get moving, help keep our parks clean and then have a nice relaxing swim in the (hopefully/fingers crossed) nice weather.
Anyone who participates will also get a gift card worth £5 to use in the store (and I will also offer them a small 10% discount to go with it).

London Fields Lido – Wednesday 16th January
A group of 8 people joined our visit to London Fields Lido:
Despite a late start & a slow journey owing to a cancelled train, cold showers at the pool and heavy rain later we all enjoyed the day – the pool was warm, steamy, & uncrowded.
Following our swim we enjoyed a late lunch together at the excellent El Ganso Tapas bar in Broadway Market then walked to Liverpool Street Station for the train back to Cambridge.
We are thinking of making these trips a monthly out of season event.
Are there any views on where we should visit next?
Please leave a message in the comments.
