WINNING THE WAR ON LITTER BY LAND, AIR AND SEA

As part of an ongoing tidy up of the Village of Cullybackey, for Britain in Bloom Competition, Cullybackey College Army Cadet Force, C Company, 1st (NI) Battalion invited the cadets and adult volunteers from both Ballymena Air and Sea Cadets to win the war on litter.

The cadets congregated at the College and with Mid and East Antrim Borough Council providing the equipment and Clements Chemicals donating cleaning products there was no stopping the big clean up.

There was a cheery atmosphere as the cadets joked and chatted amongst each other whilst they walked along searching  for rubbish in the June sun, however the parched kids and adults welcomed the refreshing drinks and fruit supplied by Tesco.  As the cadets from the triple forces, loaded the many bags of litter onto the Council’s lorry and returned back the school Cullybackey and Galgorm Woods were left litter free.

This great venture also goes towards Duke of Edinburgh Award and the newly started John Muir Environmental Award.

Cullybackey College Detachment, Army Cadets Force would like to thank everyone who contributed on the successful evening.
