Over the last few years the Tilehurst Globe Group has organised an annual Tilehurst Rescue event. A concentrated effort involving group members, volunteers and local businesses is directed towards cleaning up one or more local eyesores over a single Rescue weekend.
Each Rescue weekend is preceded by a poster campaign during which local businesses are asked to display posters in their windows, and also asked to sponsor the activities by providing prizes for the volunteers.
Many thanks to all the people who came and helped us tidy Tilehurst! And a big thank you also to the many sponsors of the 2010 event.
The weather was very pleasant and we had a good number of people out to help tidy up - although not as many as there have been in recent years. We will produce a report about the event in time.
