Brighton Report written by Carla Washbourne
“Night-strimming (deserves a quiet night)” (for all the REM fans out there ☺ - thanks to Jason for the inspiration)
13 GoodGym-ers headed to St. Andrew’s Church in Hove to clear overgrown areas of the churchyard, helping to maintain this important urban green space for community use and reduce anti-social behaviour.
Jogging, skipping and grapevining our way along the chilly seafront on a wonderfully welcome warm-up led by Helena, we arrived at St. Andrew’s - beautifully illuminated in the settling twilight - primed and ready for action!
Welcome toTallula who joined us for her first Goodgym session and wasn't put off by the nippy air or energetic warm up!
After a quick briefing from Rev Dan and Ian who quickly got stuck into the task alongside us, we donned gardening gloves and selected our weapons of choice from an array of shears, mowers and strimmers.
Head torches and high-vis casting dancing shapes around the churchyard, the group got to work trimming down bushes and overgrown areas. The big task of the evening was removing ivy from the back fence, handful by satisfying handful, before transporting the vines to the waste pile.
Persevering through ivy dust and giant month attacks, we got everything clear and celebrated a job well done before jogging off into the night.
