Today 9 GoodGymmers headed to Pomphrey hill (some on foot and some on wheels) to marshal a VI Runners' guides' 10K race which saw them take on 6 gruelling laps of the park. The race was organised by Tracy one of the VI runners who wanted to give something back to their amazing guides 🙂

We were briefed by Tim and Mel and given our marshalling positions and before long the first runner came speeding through. The start times were staggered meaning all of the runners were doing their 6th lap together and GoodGym made sure they were all well encouraged along the way..

After the race finished, the winner was awarded a huge trophy and our Mel got a bottle of wine for her excellent finish time recording. We were all given some delicious pastries and Quality Street as a thanks before we headed on our merry way.

Big thanks to Sal for organising this. We had a fantastic time!

A humongous turn out today with over 30 of us braving the drizzle and heading over to Arnos Vale cemetery to help Hayley plant more pollinator friendly flowers for Urban Buzz. We even had our favourite GG tourist Beth join us - and without any prospect of shed smashing!

Well ... at least we thought we were heading over to Arnos Vale cemetery. On arrival a quick phone call made it apparent that my cunning scheme to over-promise on a visit to a Victorian era Necropolis was in fact an over-promise and instead we were heading for the (frankly almost as nice) Arnos court park.

Once there we split into two groups to plant daffodil bulbs and crocus bulbs with the specially designed - and unimaginatively named - bulb planters, taking care to steer clear of 'desire lines' (where peeps cut through and walk their dogs and stuff).

In 25 mins we planted literally thousands (possibly millions) of bulbs so fantastic job to everyone today!

Congratulations to Charlene for hitting 50 good deeds today! And thanks to Nick for the pun :)
