Welcome to Haimish for your first GoodGym Manchester session 👏

Change of plan this evening with Ella from Heaton Park not available last minute for animal centre painting, so instead the fab 4 had an evening stroll and litterpick around Heaton Park.

Nice evening jaunt from the Stables Cafe across the fields, past the Highland Cows, and through the undergrowth to unearth lots of discarded bottles, plastic cups, and crisp packets.

3 bags of rubbish in total, with a few challenges of "guess the litter" and "find something purple" thrown in for good measure.

Lights drawing in with lots of animals (squirrels, rabbits, cows, and the odd donkey) in the park. Hoping to rearrange the painting soon, so watch this space.

Hectic morning as RD for Ben with local cancellations and parkrun tourists from Ireland giving big numbers and a busy set up and pack down.

We had bumper numbers! 560 participants this morning, with 156 visiting us for the first time including 20 people completing their first ever parkrun 💪

Big THANK YOU to the 30 hi-vis heroes who volunteered to help the event go ahead! Very much appreciated and hope you all had a wonderful morning 🦺
