Big thanks to Katie for organising this task and taking some photos. A couple of snaps from Aoife too of Angela and Katie's excellent root removal service. Unfortunately my phone died before it saved our group photo so please use your imagination for that one!

It was great to see our young GoodGymer in training tonight, Betsy, who had persuaded Sam to let her stay up late to help out in her school garden. They did an excellent job of sweeping the leaves off the pond decking. Let's hope Betsy keeps her promise of getting up in the morning for breakfast with no arguments! 🤞

Val gave the pampas grass a swinging haircut and Judy impressed us all with a left handed litter pick.

Julie took the Canadian contingent to 2, joining us after a hectic day at work while Tony celebrated his last day of school holidays in a school and with his 2nd lot of ivy removal after doing the same for his dad earlier this afternoon.

India and Jo were also battling the ivy and finding shoes, balls and other things that the foxes had brought in.

Excellent work by everyone and Nicky was very thankful for everything we'd helped out with.
