Tonight we were back at the Friends of the Earth.
We welcomed Marcella to GoodGym for the first time, it was great to have you with us :)
Morwenna, Eve, Jonny and James ran 2k to the task and met our walking group of Miriam, Marcella and Gabriel.
As ever we were also greeted by Marcel the dog, generally an ever present at the Friends of the Earth tasks.
We got to work bagging up cans to be recycled, composting and inside Miriam, Marcella and Gabriel did some paper shredding and cleaning some buckets.
Eve and James stirred in some shredded paper into the compost certainly a 'good good gym workout' see what I did there?!
Once done we had a quick picture with Marcel the dog and headed on our way.

Tonight, James, Jonny and Eve headed to the canal to pick some litter.
Not long after setting off down to the canal the heavens opened to give us a bit of a soaking. After sheltering under a tree for 5 minutes or so we carried on picking the now rather soggy litter.
Once done we walked up to Aston Lock to drop the bags off before heading back to 1000 Trades to drop the litter picks off then finishing our run off by running down to New Street station.

Many people use the canal to run and cycle along

Tonight 4 GoodGymers got doing some tree clipping and carrying bags back to the other side of the Jewellery Quarter cemetry.
James and Jonny got clipping, with being the tallest. The idea being to clip the trees back enough so to clear the path for people to walk past, hence a barber's favourite a short, back and sides!
Eve and Sofeen bagged up the branches before taking them to be composted.
After we were done James and Jonny headed for a 3k run, whilst our walkers headed back with Josie, Eve looking after her legs after going 'hell for leather' at a cycling time trial last night!
Thanks to those who came along we'll be back helping out Josie next month :)

The cemmetry is an area which needs volunteers to keep it looking presentable

Tonight we were joined by Jo and the team from Avanade as our task was to move some composters from a pub down to one of the Jewellery Quarter's grave yards.
You can see from the pictures this was no easy task as the alleyway we had to get it through was quite tight to say the least!
We got one composter down, then the idea was to wrap it with some plastickie stuff, but unfortunately somebody hadn't filled the staple gun so we had no staples!
Oh well, that meant we could go and move another composter instead, so still a good job done! So in the end that was the job wrapped up! Just not quite the way we expected!
