Please register and join us for a clean-up around Emsworth shore, Mill Pond and the surrounding area on Sunday 15 November from 10:00 to 12:00. Meeting point is at the bottom of South Street opposite the Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club. There are public car parks in Emsworth and some parking is available on local roads. What3Words location ///shall.stream.solar We will provide kit - gloves, litter pickers, bags, and buckets, but we welcome you to bring your own if you have any. We have a limited number of children's gloves. While we anticipate that this beach clean should be able to go ahead, it will be subject to the weather - while rain is not too much of a problem, if the wind is too high we will not proceed. If the clean-up is going to be cancelled for any reason, we will notify you through Eventbrite (you will be emailed) and on our social media. BEACH CLEAN RULES - There will be a safety briefing at the start of the event, please listen carefully and adhere to the guidelines. - Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. - Only go where instructed to go on the day. - Dress for the weather - check the forecast in advance. If it's hot, wear sun cream, if it's raining bring a waterproof rain jacket and so on - layers are great. - Please bring your own drink in a reusable container. - Do not pick up anything sharp (broken glass, needles etc). Inform a host and we will remove it. We will have a sharps bin with us. - Under 18's must be accompanied by a responsible adult, FSF accepts no responsibility for minors attending the event. - Participation is at the individual's own risk, but please report any incidents to the hosts. - Do not put your hands anywhere near your face, especially your eyes or mouth during the clean. You never know what you may have touched and your gloves will probably be dirty. - Bring hand sanitiser for after the clean-up and wash your hands thoroughly as soon as possible after the event. - Return all equipment and litter to the collection/drop-off spot. - Well-behaved dogs on leads are more than welcome, but please keep them with you, under control and be aware of others with your dogs even if they are friendly. - Always be aware of traffic and moving vehicles.
