One Goodgymer meet up with Karen from the Parks Foundation who look after a lot of the green parks in Bournemouth.We walked round the park to see where the Four trees would be planted once sorted and shown how they were to be set in I set to and soon had the first one in within no time we had all four in and the rain did not bother us.I must say it was a good afternoon and very educational. All four trees were safely planted.

Our February trip to our lovely sponsored riverside plots to look after them in the down season so they are fabulous in the summer, for everyone who passes by, including us!

This evening started at Tap Tavern with a warm welcome to Cally and Philip from Richmond Foundation who joined us for the first time to see what GoodGym is all about. And to Ivo who knows very well what it's all about as our CEO!

We took a moment to celebrate Adam becoming a fitness leader, Lucy arrived with news from the winter Olympics that Team GB had not smashed the mysterious art of curling, and we gave a little hoorah to Nina completing 25 tasks, Chris and completing 475 🥳

A good warm-up and lovely run along the riverside with a very high tide creeping in, we were met at the plot by Susannah and Rosie who manage the task as Taskforce, along with our resident outdoor expert, Ken who was working on a solution for hops supports.

After a short fitness session run by Liz we got stuck in to the real business of turning compost, weeding beds, collecting up leaves and sorting the supports. By next month we should start to see a little daylight at tasks, spring is coming!

Join us on the first Saturday and second Monday every month to help look after these lovely little patches of Richmond 😍
