It started as a weeding and bulb planting task, with Libby, Liam, Jane, Becca, Claire and Laura clearing round 6 of the trees and section of the long bed and planting a variety of bulbs in clumps. David sorted some compost and swept the basketball court of leaves. Annabel from the garden group noticed that one of the Rowan trees was dead and at an angle and was rocking. We were concerned about leaving it in case it fell on anyone so between us we managed to push it over and then saw it up. We then went back to the bulb planting (and also cutting down the raspberry canes when Laura got side tracked again). At the end Claire shared some delicious treacle flapjacks with us all.

Another terrific trio of GG Yorkies assembled on this sunny but blustery Tuesday morning. We were in the bottom room for a change which meant tables and chairs having to be moved from further afield so it took us a whole 10 minutes to complete!

We started tonights session by welcoming two newbies, Nicola andAdam ! 🎉 Thanks for joining us — we hope you enjoyed your first taste of GoodGym, We also adorned Jane with the cape of good deeds for completing her 100th task tonight.

We then named and numbered off by making a pledge in honour of make a difference day. These varied from spending time with family to Max pledging world peace! Nick also promised his wife to improve on something that niggled her - we need to find out more!

We then headed to St Nicks with Nick leading out and Laura at the back, along with Vicky's cycling group, to tackle some unruly brambles and clear the path. Armed with determination our team got stuck in, cutting back the prickly invaders and digging out one or two. and made a good start.

We then took our photo with our #liftthecurfew banner.

With the brambles beaten back, it was then time to swap gardening gloves for game faces as James and Jane led a fun fitness session of Play Your Cards Right. 🃏💪

It was then back to base to sample some of Lyndsay's beetroot brownies and for some, wash it down with a pint!

We donned our Santa hats and gave out flyers to advertise the British Heart Foundation Chase the Pud race in December. We managed to stay dry (although cold) and get home before the forecast storm.

... perhaps by joining Goodgym? Two of us went along to help out at Tang Hall Library this month, getting the books out ready for the half-term holiday. We were delighted to discover a book entitled "How to do good", although neither of us bought it - since we already have the answer!

No task forcer was available today but this didn't stop three dedicated goodgymmers from helping with the planet food tidy up. Thank you!
