Tonight was the only Wednesday of the year that we didn't do a task, as we celebrated with our summer social instead. We headed to Beckett Park for a game of rounders which everyone enjoyed and Alice led a game of tag...which was absolutely exhausting!! Joao, Alice & Billy were 'on' and did a good job, but eventually we wore them out!

We cancelled our picnic as rain was forecast (even though it didn't materialise), so we headed to the pub & ordered some very questionable pizza. Was it toast or was it pizza...who knew?!

Thanks for a great night all.

Adam got to try a new tool tonight...an extra long tree branch cutter (not it's official name). Needless to say, he was very pleased & is fast getting a reputation as our resident tool operator.

We were cutting the weeping willow tree branches to use them to wrap them around & protect the new fruit trees. This was not as easy as it looked & we made slow progress but our newcomers did manage to finish one off. Helen & Katie trimmed tomatoes & we also did a bit of weeding.

We even managed to avoid most of the rain, the runners got a bit wet, but mostly it stayed dry.

We had 4 lovely new members tonight, welcome to Trish, Kevin, Heidi & James. We hope to see you again soon.

Another lovely evening at Meanwood Farm.

Jason, Helen & Erica took their role of caring for cucumbers very seriously, removing mites that were invading them...Helen is so committed, she wants to go & check on them!

Chloe, Rachael, Katie, Shannen & I headed to the Orchard to remove foliage from below the trees with blunt sheers & the rest of the group weeded. There's always lots of weeds at this time of year!

Welcome to Anisah on her first GoodGym task, we hope to see you again soon.

Thanks for another great task all, it's always a pleasure.

What a great evening we've had with the GoodGym Leeds gang tonight.

Compost moving, weeding & laying membrane were the name of the game up at OWLS allotments. There were also discussions about ants, cricket, musicals, football & Carole.

We then headed to Heart for a drink afterwards & discussed Sarah's interview tomorrow at BBC Radio Leeds where she'll be talking all things GoodGym. We can't wait to listen Sarah!
