A small group of runners (2 to be precise!) met on Hope Street and ran the 2km to the Old Baths on Lodge lane, where we were greeted by 4 other Goodgymers and a whole host of the other volunteers.

The reason we were all there? To help Tmesis Theatre to clear the space ready for a mural to be painted as part of their Seeds of Change initiative.

As we cut back the Buddleja, nettles and brambles, we uncovered the tiles from the original bath house. We made quick work of one wall, but once we got to the corner, we were fighting with a giant bramble bush that seemed to have become the resting place for tonnes of rubbish. We will be back to continue the fight! (and not just because we were offered flapjack, promise!)

Well done to all those that helped out, it really made a huge difference and will enable the mural painters to get to the wall!

Tmesis Theatre will be holding a mural workshop this Saturday (2nd July) at 4:30. Feel free to attend with an L8 story and and object to talk about.
