Assistance with cutting the grass and hedge for elderly gentleman

We met in the sunshine outside the Church of St Phillip and St James in Odd Down. Good Gym-ers Ruth, Mary, Meyrick and Kerry attended this event under an almost cloud free sky ready to help deliver roast dinners to the local neighbourhood.

The organisation behind this event was as ever impeccable and we were duly supplied with our portions to deliver.

Braving this near perfect weather these intrepid pioneers distributed approximately 20 meals to grateful recipients. Job done, they then scattered to what were probably 'football related' committments to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

A beautiful sunny Sunday morning on a Bank Holiday weekend, 6 Goodgymers met at Odd down cycle circuit. We met the parkrun core team, donned our hi-vis and were given instructions as to where our marshal posts were.

We moved to our marshal positions around 0850 and waiting for the parkrun to start. 4-10 year old children and their parents lined the start line and were set off at 0900. The run began and as each children passed our Goodgym marshals we gave them lots of cheers and waves. The children ran 2km in total and did really well.

I ran to help Mrs L with her boxes. She is suffering from poor health and recently had to down size when she was unable to manage her house. This has left her with lots of boxes to be unpacked and moved to allow her to and watch TV in comfort. She was really pleased with what we achieved and I even met her pet rabbit.
