At Easton Roots area, Stapleton Road station. Stuff being given away. They're offering to pick stuff up - phone number on poster at the station.<br /><br />Also on Saturday<br /><br />Art Event for Friends of the Earth at Easton Community Centre. Not sure of starting time - poster in the window of Greenbank Stores (Jim's), Greenbank Road/Hinton Road.<br /><br />There'll be art for sale by local artists. Proceeds to FoE.<br /><br />And again on Saturday - work day at Royate Hill Nature reserve. Greenbank View entrance.
