On a rainy, windy end to April a brave 3 goodgymers got together to help out the Forget me Not group. We had an emergency call out on Sunday from the organiser, asking if we could get together and help to clear up twigs and branches that had fallen and to weed the pathways between the raised beds. The pesky plants had made their home in the pathways, which was stopping the group members from being able to get in and use the raised beds.
We welcomed back to the group Cara for their second task, good to see you back with us. We had some wonderful new gloves and a brush tonight, and got straight to work. Dylan got to work brushing the pathways around the Church, helping to make it look clean in time for the local elections, before joining the rest in removing the unwanted plants.
There was some bindweed around one of the fruit trees which needed some careful attention, the path was weeded by simply pulling up the plants - it was a woodchip path so nice and easy to clear. And finally, some brambles were cleared from the edge, before they encroached too far.
30 minutes and were done, the "Forget me Not" gone

Despite all indications being that tonight's community mission would be a washout, ten hardy GoodGymers turned up to do good in their community. As part of a week long concerted effort to support the Cardiff Council 'Love Where You Live' campaign, we met to litter pick in Roath and Penylan.
We were delighted to welcome not one but three new people to GoodGym - well done Cara, Kirsty and Evie - it was great that you could join us and we hope to see you at another run soon!
After an introduction to GoodGym by Ellen, we grouped into two's and three's with a mission to tidy the streets of Roath and Penylan. We came across all kinds of garbage but a significant amount of takeaway debris - burgers, discarded baguettes and empty pizza boxes. After a mere 45 minutes and a fair few steps, we gathered back at Penylan library with ten bags of rubbish! As an added bonus, the weather gods had been kind and the rain had stopped for the entirety of our mission!
After discussing forthcoming runs to the YMCA and an opportunity to continue our great litter pick on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, it was time to depart. Well done team!
