Our Tuesday group run took us to 3rd Kingston Scout Group to help tidy up the outside of their hut. They have two car parks that had started to get overgrown with weeds and the mild weather had caused these weeds to grow! GoodGym got prepared to do our duty.

We split into two groups: Claire, Craig and Fionn took the back car park to tackle the perimeter where the weeds were knee high and Tara, Martel, Dave and Tom climbed the grassy mound in the front car park to sort the weeds, nettles and litter. Interesting finds such as bottles of vodka, takeaway wrappers and lighters were found in the grass - not the sort of thing that scouts need for their badges. It was tough work but we cleared a good amount of weeds and rubbish and we promised to come back and help another time as we didn't quite finish clearing the nettles.

Did we earn a GoodGym badge for our sleeves? I think so... Dib dib dib.

We celebrated our our evening with a GoodGym social in the Albion for 2-4-1 burgers - yum, yum.
