406 people attending Catton Parkruns 13th birthday! plenty of teenage themed costumes

16 Goodgymers attended our Monday session to support our local warden Will, to care for Mousehold Heath, an important local habitat.

Will explained to the group the extent of a recent wild fire and all they were doing to reduce local fire risks.

We split into a 3 groups; one moving a drying pile of old bracken, one group bracken pulling, and one removing pockets of gorse and stumps to support fire engine access routes.

A very warm welcome to Eve and well done for joining your first GoodGym session.

Tonight 11 GoodGymer's ran 2km to Oxfam Magdalen Street store.

High 5's to Francesca who attended her first session!

It was our first visit to this store for 6 years, and store manager Ross still remembered our last visit!

The tasks was going through a large backlog of clothes donations, sorting out the resell-able quality items from the rags (cheap, worn or smelly!).

'Rag' bags are collected and recycled, and the 'keep' items are then priced up and taken to the shop floor below.

Amoungst my favourites was a vintage looking Welsh rugby shirt. Alina had her eye on a few nice items which she was able to purchase!

After 1 hour many many bags had been emptied, sorted and redistributed. Well done team. It was a great evening and we hope to return in the future!
