Worthing Report written by JULIA GLEESON
Four GoodGymers set off for what has become one of our favourite regular tasks. All day weâd been wondering. Will we be in, will we be out, weâll have to wait and seeâŠ.(anyone other than me just been assaulted by an earworm and a yearning for chips?)
Today it was not to be
Three arrived, to see an empty carpark. Weâve never arrived here to an empty car park. We headed to the school door, excitement slightly abated, and relief flooded through us. There was someone there. The relief was brief. It was two teachers about to leave and lock up the premises. Weâd had a date, weâd been stood up!
Three became four as Ricky steamed around the corner and beyond, turning his head enough to shout, âI havenât finished my run yetâ.
We get knocked down, we get back up again
So what do you do when youâve been stood up? Go home? Not us! Not with Ricky wisely reminding us that we have two seafront flower beds that would benefit from some attention.
The recent weather, though not what we want at this time of year, has helped the new plants to root. But the beds always need attention to keep them in good condition. The spent poppies were removed, and a general tidy done. And then, the hunt was onâŠ.
The scarlet watering can
We seek it here, we seek it there, we know the watering can is somewhere here. Throughout the summer those beds are thirsty. Experience has told us that expecting passing GoodGymers to handily have a water tight receptacle to keep the beds sated, is something of a pipe dream. This year Julia has secreted a watering can near the beds. And secreted it was! Just as we were about to give up the search Gill delved further into the undergrowth and with ankles barely showing gave the welcome cry of âIâve found itâ.
We were able to thoroughly water both beds. Itâs a small, but important task. Worthingâs seafront is such a key thing for the community. Supporting the efforts to maintain the seafront is supporting the heart of our community.
Always reason to cheer
As a group, Worthing GoodGym likes to celebrate. When we come together we enjoy celebrating a multitude of notable events. Sharing the love, and the cake. We are already laying the foundations for our next celebration. The birth of a future GoodGymer (congratulations Sarah and Ryan), and today Ricky reached 200 Good Deeds.
One El of a bonus
While tidying away ready to leave El came across to say hi. She didnât GoodGym today because it was âdate nightâ. She hadnât been stood up!
Many thanks to John for leading the task and writing the report đ
