The morning after Spring’s (?) chilly sleet showers, three Good Gymers - Adam, Jassy and Emily were put through their paces by task owner for the day, Amanda at the Parkfield Community Gardens in Ham.

The first challenge involved figuring out which hose to turn on, they all seemed to lead nowhere!

Once the correct hose was located, we filled up multiple water buckets to wash down the garden chairs, the table and even Emily herself, who managed to get more on her than the table!

After a quick sweep of the garden for plastic and general waste, it was onto the main challenge itself.

This was creating a trestle saw horse for the owners to be able to chop wood more easily. We each took it in turns to measure, saw, and drill the wood, which proved a challenge, but thanks to a terrific team effort we wood-worked it out!
