19 GoodGymers made there way to Ion Square Gardens to rub down and paint up the previously unloved railings surrounding the inner city green space.

Big shout to Michael the ring leader of the friends of Ion Square who even in very heavy rain believed in the GG magic that it will clear by the time we arrived and that painting in the damp was a well tried and tested technique!

With the run in conjunction with The Great Get Together which has the mission to celebrate kindness, respect and that we have more in-common than we realise.

After a big call for GG Olympic participants from team captain ** Toyin** who is organising the tactical charge to maximise our scoring chances! SIGN UP HERE.

We split into a walking and running group and tackled the journey down to Ion Square with a big variation in how direct the route was to Ion Square.

A 1.5km walk or a 2.5km run later we reached the square and grabbed our wire brushes, rollers and paint brushes to get stuck into the task ahead.

With a efficient set of mental fence rubbing downers who prepared the rough and rusty fence for the elegant painting with shiny black paint.

Our production line increased as the task continued with a dryer absorbing the rain into a tea towel before the rubbers and rollers piled through then the snagging crew brought up the rear with a fine eye for detail putting the finishing touches to an epic task performance!!

With 8 fence panels complete it was time to go after a swift running photo call for the Independent newspaper.

Back sweaty but happy looking forward to our next addition at Mabley Green next week.
