Saturday 10 March - Litter Pick

It's not too late to volunteer to join in tomorrow's St Peter's Spring Litter Pick.  Simply drop a line with your name to secretary@stpetersnewcastle.co.uk.

In the event of a bad weather cancellation an email will be sent to volunteers on the list by 9.15 am.

St. Peter's Volunteer Gardeners will also be out working. So please have a chat and find out more about what they too are doing to make the neighbourhood look even better.

Free Refreshments will be available. All equipment has been borrowed from Newcastle City Council.

It's a 10am start outside Merchants' Tavern.
