We both got an absolute soaking en route to the task so arrived in a very soggy state. My problem was that the hand cream I'd applied before setting out on my run, in combination with very wet hands, meant that it was difficult to get a good grip on the large tables. However, with John's help we soon got all the tables and chairs set out and headed off for a well-earned coffee.

Tonight we started by celebrating Becca's 100th good deed! Amazing work, well done

After a quick warm up Ed headed off to York in Recovery's allotment with an elite group of 8... heres what they had to say

The Hob Moor allotment crew headed out to carry on the work we did last week with the guys from York in Recovery. We picked up Tristan on our way down and met up with taksowner Tracey at the allotments.

The tall chaps, Neil and Michael carried on with trimming the hedge that had been getting out of hand. Nick, Mitch and Tristan got stuck into turning over a raised bed. Carys and Sanjay helped to clear out a compost bay ready for everyone else's off cuts. And George and Ed helped to rat proof (hopefully!) the bottom of the shed by nailing some planks of wood across the bottom.

We made great progress on the various tasks and left enough time for a quick "hill" rep session on hob moor before jogging back to base

Meanwhile Leanne led out the rest of the pack to the bowling club where we did some weeding in preparation for tree planting. We were finished in plenty of time for some running drills and a slice of Lyn's delicious Victoria sponge or lemon cake! They do spoil us!

It was then back to base and a few went off to the pub for a refreshment.

Due to some wasp action we avoided the compost bins today. David and Becca raked the cut grass on the main part of the garden. Barbara, Abigail, Leanne and Laura dug up the grass that had grown in the bed at the end, removed the rotten fallen apples and trimmed the dead ends off the plants. We replanted any bulbs that were dug up and put the grass cuttings onto the compost pile on the on the other side of the wall. There may or may not have been some rotten apple throwing challenges and getting distracted by looking up houses for sale!

The sun always shines on Kimberlow Hill! Well, today it did. GoodGym's very own Tiny Forest was looking spectacular. The leaves are starting to change colour, the berries are bright and many trees are now taller than the GoodGymers. Having planted the tiny saplings two and a half years ago, with a little GoodGym care the trees are doing well and now the forest has thickened up, it is impenetrable. Today's tasks involved some pond care, strimming, raking the arisings, weeding, mulching, gathering windblown/broken tree guards from other trees nearby. Finishing off as always with cake, cuppa and chat. Lovely to see everyone.

On a rainy Friday morning, two GoodGymmers answered the call and headed to Mrs J's. The goal? Moving a double bed ready for council collection so that a new profiling bed can be brought in, allowing Mrs J to rest more safely and comfortably.

Despite some concerns based on our last attempted mission (where the furniture was a bit too large and the doorways a bit too small), we were able to quickly dismantle the divan bed and get the pieces placed ready for collection. Since we were done in record time, we stayed for a bit and enjoyed talking to Mrs J - we enjoyed a good coffee, and talked about all sorts including Mrs J's link to GG York legend Sean.

A great task, a great chat, and hopefully once the new bed is installed, Mrs J can have a great sleep.

It was great to meet new recruit, Beth, who joined us this week. With 4 volunteers, we soon had the tables wiped, folded and stacked, then chairs away, floor swept and carpet hoovered. As Jess was short of helpers, our last task was to empty and re-bag the bins. All done. Before you knew it, we'd 'bin' and gone!
