Thanks Jim for bringing along son Thomas to his first ever GoodGym session!

Looking a bit mad and potentially dangerous, we ran down Hilsea Lines baring spades and pitchforks, before connecting back to Northern Parade to the location of our task. Two of the residents at Redbridge showed us where they wanted the vegetable garden located, and we worked together to decide on dimensions.

We may not have made a perfectly parallel patch (more of a trapezoid, for those who want specifics when it comes to quadrilaterals), but a huge amount of earth was turned over, ready for planting. Thomas was an absolute trench-edging pro, despite not having ever dug one before. New skill unlocked!

We had another pleasantly menacing run back to the Lido to round off the evening.

4 Goodgymers worked with the little squirrels and Beavers from the 48th Scouts to take part in the Great British Beach Clean. Hats, Table legs and lot of tint plastic was saved from the seas! well done all!

Kingston Rec is always a treasure trove for litter picking, so what better place for Round 2 of Litter Pick Bingo!

Rob joined us for his first official GoodGym task, after his usual Bad-Minton session had been sadly cancelled. In probably one of the wildest coincidence in litter pick history, we found one of the pin badges that Rob gives out at the training he delivers half-buried in dirt under a bench!

Katie was the first to claim "Bingo!" on her card, but was usurped when Jim came in close behind, but with an actual item of clothing, rather than a rubber glove!

Sinéad was first to fill her bag, and probably had the weirdest find with a full outfit and a wig, found in a bush. Katie did get the final prize for heaviest bag, thanks to a shopping basket and a metal post!

Dave had a "Dirty Dancing" moment, where he carried a watermelon, and Rob found a lone "Chess" piece, carrying on the musical theme.

Well done, everyone!
