A TREEmendous task.

It was a beautiful Monday evening when a group of Goodgymers went to The German Church to complete our first task there.

As we all arrived, walking, cycling and running to the venue we were warmly greeted and introduced to three church members who were already hard at work getting the garden ready for their upcoming Summerfest.

We quickly got to work, lopping ivy and overhanging branches, cutting down nettles and raking and sweeping up as we went. The sun and pollen was out and it wasn't long before you could hear the dolcet tones of the summer sneezes from various members of the team which helped us locate each other. They were expecting children at the summerfest and the toy vehicles needed to be washed and then tried out by some of the team....

You would think we would be used to the Goodgym magic yet we all remarked on how much can be done in an hour by a team of people - many hands really do make light work.

The end of the task meant time for a group photo and quickly the treeclimbers of the group found the perfect backdrop.

We left the task happy and content and yet the night was not finished as we went for a sociable catch up in one of the local pubs.

Sadly we were saying goodbye to Sarah tonight as it was her last session before leaving Liverpool we will really miss her and wish her well. She has promised to come and visit so it is not au revoir but a bientot
