Eastville Park was busy on Saturday with a community event running at the pop up cafe, so after a quick check-in with Andy, we made our way down to the lake. Luckily the forecast rain held off and as can be seen from the before and after photos, by scraping, hoeing and wheelbarrowing we were able to make fantastic progress clearing weeds and moss from both sides of the lake, getting so carried away that we slightly exceeded the time scheduled for the task! We returned to the Nissan hut for a group photo and a cuppa and perhaps a slice of cake! Well done everyone! See you next time!

We had an epic first mission at the new Hartcliffe city farm site. 18 Goodgymers turned out, of which 4 people were new to GoodGym. We mucked out a old barn, freeing it from layers of of hay sheep sh**. The manure was so ancient that it didn't even smell of animals anymore (or maybe my nose is to used to these kind of smells). Everyone dug in deep in best spirits and loaded as much muck as possible in the wheelbarrows. These had then to be pushed to the another end of the site, allowing us to not only workout our upper body strength but also get in a decent amount of steps. The second group cleared a field from rubbish, rubble and old palettes to make this area safe of little farm visitors. A few GoodGymers took on the task of constructing a new path (and bridge) leading into the green space. We got an impressive amount done during the mission and Ned from HCF can't wait to have us back next week. And back we will be for sure - the tea and biscuit provision was excellent! And all that fun was FREE so no excuse to not make this a regular outing.

Massive shout out to Ned, Sam and Amy for collecting their first ever GoodGym good deeds with this task.

Great job everyone !
