8 Goodgymmers and a mini Goodgymmers turned up to Catton Grove Community Centre this evening. After a brief introduction we were given the instruction, "we don't care what you do. If it looks untidy, fix it."

Elizabeth set to work cleaning the brickweave of weeds, Darren trimmed some overhanging trees and Bobby and Jonathan got to work on some barbed wire that had become embedded in the ground. The two Kathryn's started to clear an overgrown bed of brambles and dying plants and the other Goodgymmers set about with shears and gloves, clearing the bushes and pavements around the entrance.

Throughout all this the rain did not stop and only got harder on the way home so I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it was up there in the 'Soggiest task' rankings.

Still, we made a good dent in the jobs to do list and will return over the next few weeks to do more for them.
