Six intrepid GoodGymers braved the rain this morning to help out at Old Alleynian Rugby Club.

Ian showed us the area to be cleared. It was quite a task!

We got stuck in with rakes and shears. Sam and Paulin got a good raking/chopping team system going. Linda covered lots of ground with the shears. I was given my new favourite task of pulling the ivy down from the trees (so satisfying!)

Special shout out to Daniela and Lenin who came to their first GoodGym task today. They got on with things quietly; so quietly that I didn't realise they were GoodGymers until half way through! Thanks for coming/your hard work guys, hope to see you at another task soon.

We spent the morning hunting for "treasure". Highlights included a smashed up golf ball, a can of fanta from the 90s and a hip bone (we think/hope from a cow!)

Ian was pleased and rewarded us with chocolate. No doubt we'll be back at the rugby club again soon!
