Five GoodGymers met for a second day of helping The North Edgbaston Action Team clear a field they've acquired which is to be used by junior football teams and other activities. Yesterday, the guys had done a great job of pulling out the brambles and we carried on with the job.

We didn't complete the job but made a lot more progress today, which is even more impressive considering we did it all without power tools, and managed to clear away a lot of the brambles. As you can see from the pictures, I had a lot of fun with a rake - hence today's pun!

We have some way to go yet, but we are making excellent progress and it will look great when it is all pulled out. The guys from NEAT were telling us that they'll be using this space to plant some flowers and vegetables, and we hope to continue being involved with this task!
