A full house of GoodGym-ers attended Stepney City Farm under the guidance of Siobhan with Emma and Paula leading the task.

Everyone pulled their socks up and got stuck in.

Stephen and Eva battled it out with their puntics and came up with some absolute gems...

Great big wooden boards were loaded on trolleys and laid against the pig enclosure whilst Mars admired/instructed from his side of the fence, an absolutely enormous pile of wood chips was shovelled and used to cover a veritable hedge of nettles just in front of the pig couple, huge great chunks of wood were picked up and piled up nearby. Siobhan seemed happy and exclaimed that she thought it would take a week, but with GoodGym helping out it was done in an hour and a half!

Aziz turned up not wearing his GG shirt because he likes to “be different” but Sara, Joanne and Eva followed suit.

I was particularly impressed with John this evening- I mean he worked hard (and he always does) - because he exemplified magnificent colour coordination and wore lilac purple shorts and purple gloves.

Emma wore Birkenstocks and jeans. She probably won’t do it again.

Rohan remarked that everyone and everything was “just marvellous, wonderful” and he had a cracking time, as did we all.

Welcome to Sara for her first ever session.

Thanks to everyone for turning up, working hard and making the time so enjoyable.

Seven of us went to the Half Moon pub afterwards and were led by Stephen our current Social Club Grand Master Pro.

I’ll leave you with this pearl from Eva: “ How much woodchip can a GoodGymer shift if a GoodGymer could shift wood chip?”
