Glove And Pride

A magnificent seven GoodGymmers ran 5 k to St Werburghs Community Centre to finish the job of helping them to get ready for their Open Day.

Two great events heading off from the same area of Bristol this morning as we gathered a smaller troupe of people in red than the Pride march which was somewhat more colourful and happening about 400 yards away from where we convened.

Welcoming Kait along for her first run, we took a different route out to St Werburghs to avoid getting caught up in the huge amount of folk gathered on Castle Green. This took us through Broadmead so we had a game of Saturday shopper dodging before heading out along the Frome Valley walkway to St Werburghs, for the third time in the same number of weeks.

Meeting the lovely Amy at the community centre and with time being of the essence we donned our gloves and got straight into our task. Undeterred by the top of the play tunnel needing to be lined before we could fill this with soil, we moved the soil that we would need over to the required area, before then digging holes in the beds in the front of the centre and then planting some potted plants to give the front of the centre a lovely look, with Kait watering the beds once the plants were in.

Then as the lining of the top of the play tunnel was completed we added the soil and then planted some smaller plants to give this a fabulous look.

By this time, visitors had started to arrive for the Open Day lured in by the bar set up in the playground and the smell of the barbecue. It would have been easy to have been distracted but our magnificent seven cracked on and got the job done.

There was time for some photos in the play tunnel, before the kids quite rightly kicked us out so that they could enjoy it themselves.

Great work today gang and good running on another very warm day!

Big thanks to David for backmarking again today and to everyone for getting the community centre sorted - you sunny stars you!
