HOW COOL is it? Very! At Goodgym, it is always very COOL to walk, run or cycle and group together with the other Good Gymers for a community mission.

It was a dry winter evening, may be a bit CHILLY, but with an extremely clear sky full of stars to set the scene of our moonlight litter picking at the Adelaide and Brunswick Ward, in Hove. 12 brave GoodGymers showed up for the mission after we equipped ourselves with litter pickers made available by the City Clean Tidy Up Team of the Brighton and Hove Council. We were welcomed by Cllrs Hanna and Phelin who pro-actively joined the team and led our way to Brunswick Park and surrounding areas. It was like a fun treasure hunt as we were scouting the hidden rubbish treasure left behind the bushes and between the parked cars.

(Honestly) HOW COLD was it? Very 😊 by the FEEL of our fingertips at the end of the session. Nevertheless, it is always very WARMING to get busy in social action and REWARDING to contribute to the conservation of such an outstanding conversation area in our city. Even more rewarding was the great WARM FINALE with JC’s homemade cake and a social drink in a cosy local pub. Let's say Goodbye, for now JC and Happy Birthday Rob with a belated collective cheers to you!

What next?

Don't forget our next community mission: A Spring Declutter is on at St Luke’s Church, after Saturday parkrun in Preston Park. And, next Tuesday's group run to the Brighton Community Kitchen.   https://www.goodgym.org/areas/brighton/happenings
