GoodGym control to Ranger Tom... commencing mission, here come ten (of us)!

Ranger Tom to the GG crew... here's everything from hackers to shovel, and I'm ready as well.

Off we went with Ranger Tom, to get those invasive roses gone.

Bloody hard it turned out to be, but GoodGym spirit refuse to cede. Jen wouldn't stop till she hit antipode!

Rachel & Jess found the deepest root, for a twig sized rose that was barely a foot!

Gillian and Mike hacked away, Anne-Laure wouldn't back away.

Mick wielded the mattock like a man on a mission, there's no chance for the rose invasion!

Sheila, Diya and Kanika ganged (up), their mark were roots that were tangled.

GoodGym crew to Ranger Tom, we did our best, we gave it all... Ranger Tom to GG gang, it wasn't nothing and thank you all!

Personally, this is one of my favourite tasks. Watching the empty hall be transformed into a mini art gallery is so satisfying.

Our first job was to help move the stands from under the stage, construct them and place them according to Wendy's plan.

Julie and Jen helped make sure there were hooks available at each stand so the art could be hung, whilst Jess helped with numbering the stands.

It was all hands on deck to transfer the art from stage to screen, literally, and to hang the art as directed.

Thankfully we were told not to worry about hanging them perfectly as a member of the Arts Club would cast their artistic eye over them and make any final touches.

Once the art was hung, and the table packed up and moved back onto the stage, it was time for a lunch break followed by a bit more furniture moving and setting up the 'crafty' table for the sculptures and other pieces of craftwork on display.

Having a sneak preview of the art was great, we spotted all of Amy's pieces (& were in awe of her talent).

If you can visit the exhibition over the next 2 weeks, it's definitely worth it.

There is still time to sign up for the task in 2 weeks to help them pack it all up until their Spring exhibition.

Lovely to see so many people turn out for another Himalayan Balsam-bashing task at Ockwells - and a big welcome to Jane who joined us for the first time!
