What an ‘eggciting’ time we all had on Easter Sunday morning, thanks to Yarnold’s Budgens. At 11 o clock not only were we treated to a special meeting with Budgens Bear, a friendly and cuddly addition to our community, but we were also given a challenge to hunt for green treasure along the footpath opposite the store.
In return for finding the green treasure we were very generously rewarded with not one, not two, but three yummy Easter Eggs! Over 80 children with their families turned up for the treasure hunt, brilliantly led by lovely Kally.
A big thank you to Dominic, Charlotte, Kally and of course Budgen’s Bear for all the fun and for the generous treasure too! Thank you also to everyone that turned out to support this lovely community event!
Watch out for future events, kindly supported by Yarnolds Budgens!
The Sunday before last you may have seen an odd sight on Trinity Mead – as intrepid members of the Trinity Mead residents association, joined by Town Councillor Victoria Alcock and Councillor Kate Rolfe, donned gloves and hi-viz jackets for a couple of hours of litter picking. Armed with plastic bin-bags, and picker sticks, they filled a grand total of 6 bags with sweet wrappers, drink cans, bottles, cigarette butts and even neatly-bagged dog mess. Oh, and is anyone missing any articles of clothing??
Lots of people stopped to chat, and several promises to help next time were made. One kind resident gave them all ice creams over his garden fence which were very gratefully received!
Look out for the next ‘Pick-up’ and come and join us.
On a more serious note, Trinity Mead is a lovely development and we can all contribute to keeping it that way – by taking our litter home, and instil in our children that littering is not acceptable, and even picking up the odd bit of litter when we see it. Particularly, horrible is the dog mess – not only that left on the ground, but also that left in bag in hedges and hanging trees. How bizarre to pick it up and leave it hanging there! Please, please, dog owners do pick up the mess and dispose of it at home or in the bins provided..Cigarette butts are also litter – and these lie in abundance, around the bus stops and in areas where they are routinely onto the same patch of grass. These do not break down into the soil, so please take them home or put them in a bin.
With Easter coming up we are delighted to announce that Budgens has organised an Easter Egg Hunt for youngsters on Easter Sunday, 8th April, at 11am.
There will be 4 categories…
3/5 year olds
6/8 year olds
9/11 year olds
12 and over
The younger ones will set off first, followed by the other groups in age order with a small time gap in between. The meeting point is on the green (triangular green) opposite Budgens of Trinity Mead. The children will then be given instructions on what to look for, they will then have to take what they have found to the shop to exchange for eggs.
Just to remind you that Trinity Mead Residents’ Association Meeting is this Monday night, 7 November at 7.30pm in Bridgetown School.
Please do come – we keep our meetings short and to the point so you can get up to date on Trinity Mead and forthcoming events without writing off the whole evening!
Agenda items include:
• Voting in new committee – would you like to be a member?
• Road Adoption update
• Neighbourhood Watch Alerts
• Waitrose Development update
• Clubs Report
• Planning for Christmas Carols on the Green
