After last Monday’s visit to Waterloo Park, the weather today had seen torrential rain, fortunately come 6pm the sky’s were clear and the evening was balmy. We welcomed Sam to her first Goodgym tonight. Our task tonight at both sides of the pavilion old flower beds to be dug up. We Divided into 2 groups, and set to the tasks. beds had to be stripped of the bushes, not an easy task, at one stage it took 4 Goodgymers to finally take out 1 Bush. The other group were doing similar task, and they had a visit from Goodgymer Beks and her new puppy Emry who defiantly stole the show. He’s now our GG mascot ❤️ After an hour of hard work on both sides we had cleared all the beds needed. We gathered up tools and rubbish sacks and assembled for a group photo. I had been given some Run With Pride medals to give out which we were all excited about, especially Andy who was going to wear his as a medallion. The Friends of Waterloo Park, as always were VERY pleased with our work tonight and will be arranging another task or two for us very soon. Thanks to Mel and Johnathan for photos
