We were invited back for a 3rd year running to help out at the annual fundraising plant swap + sale for Friends of Whirlowbrook Park, and it was certainly the weather for a morning outside 🌞.

We helped with set up, assisting people to cars with their purchases, recruiting donors and take down at the end. Not only was a lovely time had by all, over £900 was raised towards a new orchard area! 🌳🍏🌳🍎🌳🍐🌳

3 GG ladies met this sunny Tuesday evening to enjoy the seas of bluebells in some local ancient woodlands.

5+ chatty kms later, we retired into a beer garden for a well earned drink before heading home.

In new form multi active travel goodgym style two of our party cycled to and from tonights task and three of us ran a more than likely more hilly than necessary route to tonights task.

This week was a new task to a care home where we painted some garden furniture, ready for the residents to enjoy the outdoor spring and summer that seems to be with us.

Tarj and Joseph also attempted to plant a tree, however discovered that there was not enough soil for the tree to be planted in and hit rubble unfortunately.

A great new task and some decent mileage in there with a longer run than normal!

Good work everyone, until next time...

Happy running :)

3 Goodgym strong women ran to United Reformed Church to unload screenboards from Van then into the hall. Fortunately there were other Strong Men Volunteers too to help out with the heavy double sided Screenboards. They have been assembled together to display the artworks of young Artists. Ken Marshall, the organizer really appreciate what Goodgym runners do for them. He gave us leaflets too and present us some artworks done by 13 and 14 year old young artists. Hopefully there will be a few more Goodgym runners on Monday, next week when we take the screenboards back into the van.
