Only a hot sunny morning, 2 GoodGymmer's helped to clear rubbish from overgrown allotments into a skip ready for removal. We were assisted by Judy and John.

There was a range of items found... a good home was made for an old bath tub! And a serviceable garden gate, was among the larger items saved from going to landfill. There was even a bit of time left to clear some more brambles.

Judy kindly provided refreshments to keep us hydrated and fed on such a hot morning. We also saw the progress that had been made with allotments previously cleared by GoodGym members, and met three people now happily growing produce on them.

On a bright Saturday morning, 6 GoodGymer's joined the Friends of Waterloo Park for a bit of shoveling.

Waterloo Park is an awarded Green Flag Park. This means it must maintain high quality standards, including excellent environmental management, biodiversity, and community involvement.

Every week, the work in the park collects large amounts of green waste that is left to dry out and compost. And today we were asked to shovel the branches and soil from the compost boxes into piles, which will be collected by the council for further recycling.

Together the 'Friends' and GoodGymer's completed the task within an hour, while observing snails, moths and other bugs.

We finished with a well earned brew and biscuits!
