Birthday celebrations and clearing the Ivy were the top priorities of this evenings Group Task.

A Big Happy Birthday to Anne

Tonight's task involved clearing the front area of Brookwood Station which seemed to be taken over by Ivy. There were two pots which also needed some TLC. Last time we were at the station we had planted hundreds of bulbs so it was nice to see spring was finally making an appearance with the bulbs coming up. The two pots got face lift and a new colour to match the planters on the platform - blazing blue!

Two years ago the Ivy had been ripped off the walls and cleared - it was now time to do this job again as it was starting to take over plants and the walls once again.

As I adopted Brookwood station to help involve GoodGym with the volunteer work - we have managed to plant new plants out the front and tidy up the containers on the platform. The next task will be to plant some wild seed mix out the front of the station to help add some colour to the entrance of the station.

A big thank you to Anne who brought along some sweet treats for us for her Birthday. Colin and Rosie the Caterpillars went down well. It was also nice to see Kirsty back again - hope you will be back for some more GG action!

Also a big well done to the GoodGym ladies and Adam who ran the 7km from Woking Town. This was Lauren longest run - so an awesome effort by all!

Thank you to everyone who came along tonight - it makes the job get completed a lot quicker!

Interested in entering any events: Then a few members are signed up to the Surrey Half - 5km and 21km - happening in March There are also a few signed up to the Lions Martian event this happens in June. Next weekend I will be going along to Brutal event Chawton and racing the canicross event with Jack.

Next week

Will be at 6pm and GoodGym will be joining the run company for the litter pick.
