6.30pm on Ladies Race Day was an interesting time to start a task in South Bank! We soon lost the staggering crowds and posted our leaflets around Terry's Chocolate Works ( - its a modern housing estate these days.) Unfortunately we couldn't get into the flats to post another 100 or so. We then leafletted the houses on the terraced streets of South Bank. Job done ahead of schedule! We hope it does the trick and more people come to support Planet Food Cafe. We couldn't help posing by this local sculpture to finish! Thanks guys!

Tonight we saw a bumper turnout for Holgate Community Allotment which meant there were plenty of hands on deck for a proper evening of GoodGym gardening.

Before we set off we celebrated PK and Leanne's epic hike up Kilimanjaro, as well a some great 10k running from Stef at the weekend.

When we arrived we were met by Helen who had a long list of jobs. We got stuck into turning the compost, cutting back brambles, watering trees and clearing the school plot, giving everything a much-needed tidy-up. There was also a group of scrumpers sorting the windfall apples. 🍎 Because there were so many of us there was lots of opportunity to stand about and have a chat too!

We rounded off the evening with a lively game of Fitness Splat, proving that even after all that digging, chopping and clearing, there was still plenty of energy left in the tank for a bit if fun!

A bumper turnout, a bumper workload and finally a bumper crop of apples. A very productive night at Holgate! 💪🌱

see you next week!
