OPTIONAL MORNING SESSION:
As I am often on the river in the morning doing some scouting and precleaning, people welcome to join me at that time, but please make specific arrangements with me by e-mail, arrival time, location, etc. Also, members can clean at any time and even any date. Just bring some clear bags and sort the trash collected, burnable, PET, cans, bottles, nonburnable, etc. and let James know where you leave the bags so that we can collect them.
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as we will move to and from the river by car and we can clean up under cover the bay front bridges as a Plan B as well as adjacent areas using rain ware. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled.
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the same time.

(Message from James)
Pardon the frequent messages but another change with tomorrow’s schedule.
Due to a rain forecast in the late afternoon (while the morning looks to be clear) as well as low tide in the morning, I am changing tomorrow’s Arakawa River Clean Up event at Funabori to 9:00a.m. meetup at the station and 9:30a.m. meet up riverside. As long as the weather is not too bad, I’ll probably be there until evening, so participants can come later too.
I recommend bringing a bento for a riverside lunch at 1:00pm or we can send someone to buy bentos by bicycle as well.
If you need to communicate with me on the day of the event please use e-mail or call my cell phone 090-1847-5075. I’ve been having trouble with too many messaging systems and not being able to keep up with them all in a timely manner.
