Three of us met at Carrs Lane Church on this sunny evening in the city centre! After some litter pickers went walkabout, we thought fast and got hold of some dustpans and brushes to get the job done. It was great to welcome Ali to his first task with Goodgym and thanks to James for coming along to help too. They were both speedy picking litter across the different grassy sections while I was on bin bag duty as they emptied in many dustpans of rubbish. We had a full bag of litter before too long and the grass by Carrs Lane Church was lovely and clear.

Tonight a team of 5 took on a very relaxing 4km run up the River Rea Valley Path picking up litter. We managed one full bag and the path looking lovely.

Big kudos to Rich, James and Laura, fresh from their successes in the Birmingham 10K and Half Marathon!

Tonight we had a magnificient attendance of 13 people at the task to move 2 tonnes of sand at St Thomas Nursery.

Jonny, Morwenna and Emily ran to the task from The Good Intent to meet the rest of the group at the task.

Chela, Klaudia and Thea joined us for the first time and really got stuck in to the job in hand, which was to move the sand into the 'beach' for the children at the nursery to play in. The group quickly went into 2 groups, doing the 2 different bags. Spades, saucepans and shovels were used, with then the wheelbarrows emptying the sand onto the beach! The pun has a little nod to Rory Mcilroy's Masters triumph on Sunday evening.

In around 25 minutes we were done! There even was time to build a few sandcastles.

The task owner, Laura was delighted with our efforts :) After a group photo we all headed off, James, joining the other 3 runners for the run back to the Good Intent.
