#89th Leabridges junior parkrun and 18 young people ran their way around a very warm, sunny Lea Bridges . Today was Volunteering 201 for me 58th here at Leabridges. Lots of happy faces today even though it was so hot they all had rosy glows. We could have done with a water station on Marshal point 4 at the bottom of the field as they passed me. Let’s do it all again next week. Come and volunteer you’ll love it. Email leabridgesjuniors@parkrun.com Then sign up on the Goodgym mission site to get your GG credit. You’ll make it possible for the event to go ahead

Today was my 200th parkrun volunteering unofficial milestone and our new RD Lynn baked me a wonderful cake, marvellous especially as she was preparing for her first Catton Parkrun as Run Director today. Thank you and well done on your first Briefing. 327 parkrunners turned out today and the conditions were very warm. A few more joining the walking element which was good to see. Goodgym volunteers today, myself-Bobby-Beks & Emrys - Susanna & her children. Flying round the corse today for GG were Alina, Roisin, Andy R Good job everyone

We had a brand new task tonight and a new meeting location as we met at NAMCO in Bowthorpe (not for 10-pin bowling) and then went onto Gray Fairs Court to give their neglected communal garden a makeover, ready for tenants to plant some new vegetables.

Our main task was to clear out the flower beds and hanging baskets of all their old plants, flowers etc.

The flowerbeds were a good challenge as there was lots of buried roots underneath the soil.

After 45 minutes of hard grafting, we made the area look fresher and ready to go with some new produce.

A sneaky game in the arcades at NAMCO was then required after the task.
