A fantastic squad of 10 GoodGymers gathered for this evening session to continue our litter picking from where we left off last week - Thankfully we were able to feel our fingers and toes this time! We were joined by Jack from the Central team - great to meet you Jack :) and Allan who we've been missing on our Tuesday sessions.

We split into 2 groups to cover both sides of the road and attacked the paths armed with bags, bag hops and litter pickers, the teams bagged and binned up any rubbish on the paths and sides of the road. It wasn't actually as bad as expected so competition was rife with us fighting over the rubbish - ha! Our most interesting finds were some 2 gloves but not a pair, so annoying when you loose 1 glove, an amusing small placed sponge in a huge puddle, but the rest were the usual haul of cans, bottles, chicken shop wrappers and wet tissue! After half an hour we bagged up our findings, left them near the nearest bins and made our way to the local library to regroup.

We ran back towards Coventry Boys and Girls club with a quick stop for a fitness session in Starley Gardens. Taking it in turns to run around the maze whilst giving the rest of the group an exercise to complete. It was fun and everyone put in lots of effort.

Well done everyone, we've left Ball Hill a litter bit tidier than we found it :)
