Oxford Homeless Project Christmas meal was a warm and festive evening. Christmas dinner was served, gifts given to guests, chats had, washing up done.
We were really pleased to play a small part in making it happen.
Welcome to GoodGym Frederic!

For the 2nd year in a row we took the task of handing out running numbers the day before Oxford Half. 17 dogs were stroked (yes Anna counted), the queue was marshalled with ruthless efficiency, and many happy/nervous runners left ready to race their hearts out.

Last night was all about BOG creation on Aston's Eyot, with bonus tasks of scything and pond sculpting to keep us all happily occupied. (Make a bog, get 2 tasks free.) The Friends of Aston's Eyot are very proactive about habitat creation across the nature reserve. We've previously helped dig ponds, make boggy patches and built hibernaculums (hibernaculi?) in other areas of the Eyot. This time the pond and bog areas had already been dug by a digger - somewhat more efficient than by hand! - just leaving some finishing touches to be made by volunteers. The bog area had been lined already, just leaving the task of filling the soil back in on top. Luckily Trev and Henry had wellies on, which made wading around in swampy mud a lot easier for them, while the rest of the group shovelled and ferried soil from heap to bog. Our scythers, Axelle and Venetia cleared the nettles from the perimeter of the bog very efficiently, while the rest of us got artistic, sculpting/reprofiling the sides of the recently dug pond so that it has a shallow slope instead of a cliff edge into the water - better for frogs and other critters to get in and out.
Despite being up against the failing light we made good progress on all tasks. Great work team!
