Tonight GG Brum had a lovely warm summers evening for a task in the Jewellery Quarter Cemetery. The task was to carry on from where we left off last time and remove more of the dead leafs from next to the cemetery walls.

We filled plenty of the big white sacks with copious leafs, before taking them over to compost.

Once the task was done, it was time for some hill training (hence the pun!) Well for Morwenna and James anyway. Jonny has a dodgy achilles so he biked to the task. Anyway both ran very well. The session was 10 minutes of Kenyan hills, building some endurance, then after a short rest, it was time for 4 all out hill sprints to builld that speed endurance and a bit of lactic tolerance! A bit of Sports Science mumbo jumbo for you there! Once done we all worked back to 1000 Trades, with Morwenna and James having a well deserved pint.

A typically hectic morning setting up the Stirchley Community Market with bright sunshine from the sky and our volunteers! Amy, Laura, Morwenna, Eve, Christina, Josie and Sofeen came together to put up bunting and balloons and build the outdoor stalls. Josie did some litter picking around the library community garden finding two big packs of lamb! The task was to make the venue look like a birthday had thrown up on it and GoodGym came through 💪🏼 🎉

Big thanks to everyone who came to help set up and down - there’s always plenty to do but your impact is definitely felt and appreciated!
