Tidying up the gardens at the insect hotel

Richmond Report written by Rich G-J

Added a few extra places for the insects to stay and cut back some of the summer plants that had already seeded.

Loved seeing how many people took an interest in your project. And lucky as we needed warming up!

Rich G-J went on a group run

We beleaf in the Christmas present!

Richmond Report written by Mark Barun

And because "It's a Punderful Life" here's another...

We leafed it here for 2018 and started to paint a new picture

This report was put together by all of the GG Richmond runners tonight, here's what we got up to...

We started with another of Mark's wacky warm ups; planking with quiz questions and stuck in the mud in the dark. Full of the festive spirit, we serenaded the locals around old deer park and were on our way!

A fast pace saw us arrive at ETNA warmed up and ready to get to work. A group of us got busy with rakes clearing away leaves from the grassy areas and borders around the car park, revealing some shoots that may turn out to be daffodils planted on a previous task!

Meanwhile, away in a manger not far away, a second team began spreading good cheer, in the form of grey/blue paint over their new buggy shelter. With everyone hard at work Mark gave his 10 minute warning so we hurried to complete the first coat...no one likes leaving a task incomplete, even if it means being the last to choose their surprise present from the tree. That's right! The lovely Sian and Vanessa had wrapped individual presents for us all and hung them on their beautiful tree outside ready to reward us for our final task of the year. A huge THANK YOU! We have loved helping you this year.

After a quick chorus of "Merry Christmas", whilst posing for the obligatory group picture, it was time to start the run back. We followed the star back the "holyfoods". The pace got a bit faster on the way back, methinks everyone had one thing on their mind..Ho.ho.ho..."Happy Christmas drinks in Shaftsbury pub".. Drinking Guinness,Peroni and wine. All occupied by an amazing GoodGym quiz from Jenny (quiz master extraordinaire!)

A fantastic night to end the year of wonderful good deeds in Richmond, well done everyone, it has been a pleasure running with you all

Merry Christmas
