I received the following email from the Ski Club of GB which I thought might be of interest to some of you.

"Hi there
I hope you’re well. I’m getting in touch as we have an event in Scotland in June which I think some of your club members/colleagues may be interested in and was wondering if you would be able to help promote it?
The fifth annual Big Spring Clean, which forms part of the Ski Club’s Respect the Mountain campaign, returns on Saturday 16 June and this year will offer new activities such as mountain biking and an eco-walk to add to the fun of the day. Volunteers will also be tackling the damaging litter left on the slopes by mountain users at Cairngorm Mountain, the Nevis Range, and Glenshee.
Last year 44 sacks of rubbish were collected across all three resorts by skiers, walkers and dedicated litter pickers. All sorts of unusual items were found amongst the general litter and waste including: a pair of boxer shorts at Cairngorm, a mattress and a 'message in a balloon' at Nevis Range. The balloon was from Milngavie Primary School, over 100 miles away!
To make this year’s Big Spring Clean the biggest yet, join the Ski Club at 10am on Saturday 16 June at:
· The bottom of the gondola, Nevis Range
· The Ranger Base (Coire Cas), Cairngorm
· The Base Café, Glenshee.
For more information on the events and the exciting activities available on the day, take a look here or email
kate.thorman@skiclub.co.uk.
Gloves and bags are provided and there will be tea and cakes for everyone who brings back a bag of litter.
We look forward to seeing you there!
