Newcastle Report written by Newcastle runner
It was a small (compared to yesterday’s mega turn out) but perfectly formed group of six GoodGymers that joined Urban Green’s ranger Mike and gardener Robyn for today’s task in Hodgkin Park. This is a lovely open space with beautiful views beyond the River Tyne to - er - well - actually the Metro Centre! Well it’s a lovely space even if the final view is a bit industrial and it’s obviously very well used by the locals with lots of people enjoying the area today.
In many ways it was a typical Urban Green GoodGym task with Sam, Tom, Charlotte, Ana, Jay and I taking turns at lopping, chopping, sawing and litter picking. With Mike and Robyn adding the extra benefit of an electric saw we made huge progress in cutting back the overgrown shrubbery - take a moment to admire the before and after photos!
What wasn’t so typical was … drumroll please …
It was Tom’s 100th Good Deed!
Congratulations Tom - a great achievement!
Being the shy and retiring type (!) Tom commented that he was glad not to be running through the city centre wearing the golden wings like he did while wearing the Geordie Cloak of Good Deeds for his 50th task!
Also kudos to Tom, Sam and Ana for joining tasks two days in a row and to Charlotte for coming back for her second task. You’ll be wearing the wings in no time Charlotte!
Join us for our third day in a row with the second part of the Shieldfield Art Works leaflet drop on our regular Monday evening group run from Stepney Bank Stables tomorrow and a bonus midweek session on Wednesday delivering leaflets for FoodCycle!

Charlotte completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Charlotte was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Painting day was cancelled due to heavy rain yesterday, but there is always something to do at Stepney Bank Stables!
Eight of us got together for a Saturday morning drop-in community mission where we continued yard clearing which had been started a few weeks ago.
It was brilliant to meet new GoodGymer Charlotte who really good stuck in today at her first task. Nice one Charlotte!
Without doubt, Tanya is the expert at cobble clearing now, and she happily shoveled out a heap of advice to help us brush, scrape and scratch our way to success. Check out the before and after pics!
This task today took us over 500 good deeds for the year. Congratulations on a super team effort in 2022.. and there is so much more to come! Join us on Monday if you can, meeting at Stepney Bank Stables and helping out at Recyke Y Bike.
