Removing a Raised Bed
We’ve built raised beds for Growing works before, well now we are going to remove one!
The folks at Netherton Infant School have decided they want their raised beds, built from old railway sleepers, shifting in order to make way for a wild flower meadow. We’ll need plenty of muscle for lifting and shifting, and don’t forget to bring your gloves.
The run is from the Lockwood Park Health & Fitness Club, meeting at 6:30pm outside the main entrance. The run is 3K each way, including some off-road sections and a couple of steep gradients.
Please note the change of start venue for this run

Making the Bed
We made a bed yesterday, that's a flower bed on Cowciffe Recreation Ground. The people of Cowcliffe were keen to convert a patch of overgrown land into something mote attractive ahead of their Platinum Jubilee fare and GoodGym were only too happy to help out.
With picks, spades, forks and mattocks to hand GoodGymmers Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, David Bilton and myself spent a very enjoyable morning making the bed.

Creating a Flower Bed in Cowcliffe
The people of Cowcliffe have been busy improving their recreation ground, but need some help in creating a new flower bed. Knowing Goodgym Huddersfield have a track record in that department, they have asked if we can help out with the project.
Calling on all our energetic excavators for a morning of heavy duty digging, be part of making Cowcliffe prettier by signing up for this Community Mission.

Delivering Leaflets for Berry Brow Carnival 2
Part 2 of our leaflet blitz promoting the famous Berry Brow Carnival.
The annual Berry Brow Carnival is taking place in June and GoodGym are going to help promote it by blitzing the local area with leaflets. This one is going to involve a lot of legwork, we'll meet at Lockwood Park KAL Health & Fitness Club before running the 2K to Berry Brow. Then it is on with getting as many leaflets through local letterboxes as we can in the time available.
Don't forget that for this one we're meeting at Lockwood Park and not the Stadium!

Trails and Tribulations
GoodGym Huddersfield were at Oakwell Hall for the second Saturday in succession. This week we were working with mountain bike advocacy group Ride Kirklees to help maintain the mtb trail.
We shoveled stones and barrowed gravel to help build up and resurface worn sections of the route. Thanks to the efforts of Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, San Kapil and myself (plus all the other Ride Kirklees volunteers) the trail will now be flowing s lot faster for all the its users.

Oaky Dokey
It was mattocks, spades and sledgehammers out this morning at Oakwell Hall Country Park as GoodGym Huddersfield got busy impriving a section of pathway.
Under the watchful eyes of Rangers Amanda and Scott, we dug out the old edging boards, installed new ones and finally resurfaced the path with gravel.
Another excellent job for the GoodGym crew, thanks to Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, Tom Elcock and GoodGym first timer Diane McKay.

Having a Ball at Oakwell Hall!
Amanda the ranger from Oakwell Hall Country Park has commissioned GoodGym Huddersfield to help out there on the morning of Saturday 30th April. We'll discover exactly what we'll be working on nearer the time, but we're guaranteed to do some proper good and have a ball at the same time! What we do know is that you can expect a couple of hours of hard labour in the outdoors helping to keep the country park looking good and accessible for the hundreds of walkers, runners, equestrians and cyclists who use the facility on a daily basis.
Oakwell Hall is of course home to a Parkrun too, so why not come along early and get your daily run in prior to us starting the task at 10am? You'll not find a better way to spend a Saturday morning!
