Community gardens receive tlc from GoodGym Worthing

After a quick warm up along the prom on a summer evening in Sunny Worthing my small but elite team headed in the direction of Denton gardens where we had our usual cheery welcome from Park Ranger , Keith.

We gave a warm GG welcome to Lucy today who was visiting for the evening . Thank you for your hard work , banter and energy.Please accept a GG cheer from us all.

The team immediately got going on the task which included weeding and pruning a stretch of overgrown flower beds

Making a dent in Denton Gardens !

The weeds and puns came at such a pace that Ranger Keith was having to work hard to keep up with the piles of debris we created in our wake !

Queen of the bindweed

Gill is 3 weeks away from doing her Lunartic marathon and even struggling with a dodgy back after a hard week of training she turned out for GG . Not only did Gill do some fine pruning but she simply owned the killer bindweed tonight . A huge and loving GG cheer to you lovely lady.

Beth gets ready to 'Raf' it at Wimbledon !

After a day of watching her most favourite person on TV Beth turned out for a leg stretcher and good deed before she was heading up to SW19 to camp out in preparation for her next Rafael experience. As you will see from the photos,once again, we had to go looking for her in the depths of the flower bed !

Bon voyage Duncan !

Just a few short hours before Duncan heads off to NZ, he turned out for his last GG task for a month on holiday. There's a nice photo of Duncan so that we don't forget what he looks like !

A fun and friendly 5 k

After a tidy up and wave goodbye to Ranger Keith Nick led the run with long legged N R G weaving through the streets of Worthing encouraging a pacey sprint back along the seafront to GG base at Splashpoint Leisure Centre.

Gill and I also took a look at the wild flower progress at Beach House gardens that we did and we were delighted to see it looking so lush and pretty. Hopefully Splashpoint beds will not be far behind !

Stretches ,well dones , happy holidays and some quality press ups from Lucy finished off the evening nicely!

Thanks team . You always make my smile bigger on Monday evenings !
