Thanks Jim for bringing along son Thomas to his first ever GoodGym session!

Looking a bit mad and potentially dangerous, we ran down Hilsea Lines baring spades and pitchforks, before connecting back to Northern Parade to the location of our task. Two of the residents at Redbridge showed us where they wanted the vegetable garden located, and we worked together to decide on dimensions.

We may not have made a perfectly parallel patch (more of a trapezoid, for those who want specifics when it comes to quadrilaterals), but a huge amount of earth was turned over, ready for planting. Thomas was an absolute trench-edging pro, despite not having ever dug one before. New skill unlocked!

We had another pleasantly menacing run back to the Lido to round off the evening.

Over the weekend, in aid of world clean up day 5 goodgymers did their bit by picking up rubbish in their local streets, gardens or public places. Cans, bottles, plastics etc to make these areas look more appealing.
