Autumn came into full swing as we all awoke to a grey Sunday!

Three GoodGymers found their way to a crowded Old Alleynian Rugby Club. The kids were out to play and their parents were out to support Sunday training practise. Meanwhile, in the background, the Green Team were behind the Clubhouse working away at the thick brambles and vines. We came to join them and chose our weapon of choice to cut back the foilage.

The aim is for this area to be a practise ground for the little ones who are just getting into rugby, but there will be a lot of work before we get to that point.

As we worked through the brambles and vines, we found all sorts of litter from the standard plastics to golf and cricket balls! ⛳ 🏏

Ian, the coordinator, was happy with our effort and would like to make this a monthly session and we will be more than happy to help out!
