Tonight 7 Goodgymers ran 5km to help support Eaton Park.

Armed with brooms & dust pans, we swept gravel off the steps of the bandstand and rotunda.

The gravel was small and there was plenty of it, so we made this most used area of the park look much cleaner!

And to finish the session Stephen had brought left over cakes from a bake sale for his 3 Peaks Challenge, so we enjoyed a bite before heading off for dinner.

This was our first evening visit to Waterloo Park for quite some time, to support the Friends of Waterloo Park with the gardens that they manage.

Jean and her team were there to greet us with all of the tools needed for the task.

That said task was to clear most of an overgrown flower bed, so that the local school can visit and plant sun flower seeds. We'll be sure to arrange a visit later in the year to see them.

After some lovely refreshments kindly provided by FoWP, we headed... to the pub for a social.

We had our first visit or the year to Bowthorpe Community Gardens, and what a lovely place it is.

For once the weather was kind to us, dare I say it actually felt a little like summer!

We completed an array are tasks to help the gardens look spruce.
