A few of us went along to the Apple Day at Meanwood Valley Farm. It was great to see it so busy, we manged to get some cider before it sold out at 7pm! Jason got lucky in the raffle and won his very own apple tree.

12 Goodgymers completed an impromptu litter pick around Headingley for tonight's task.

Chloe found a hoover in the street, which might explain the rubbish found elsewhere underneath some carpet. What is wrong with people?!

There's no hiding anything from Goodgym litter pickers - we'll find your grot and grime! Everything was bagged up, and it was a nice strolling chat for everyone in the process.

Tonight was the only Wednesday of the year that we didn't do a task, as we celebrated with our summer social instead. We headed to Beckett Park for a game of rounders which everyone enjoyed and Alice led a game of tag...which was absolutely exhausting!! Joao, Alice & Billy were 'on' and did a good job, but eventually we wore them out!

We cancelled our picnic as rain was forecast (even though it didn't materialise), so we headed to the pub & ordered some very questionable pizza. Was it toast or was it pizza...who knew?!

Thanks for a great night all.

Adam got to try a new tool tonight...an extra long tree branch cutter (not it's official name). Needless to say, he was very pleased & is fast getting a reputation as our resident tool operator.

We were cutting the weeping willow tree branches to use them to wrap them around & protect the new fruit trees. This was not as easy as it looked & we made slow progress but our newcomers did manage to finish one off. Helen & Katie trimmed tomatoes & we also did a bit of weeding.

We even managed to avoid most of the rain, the runners got a bit wet, but mostly it stayed dry.

We had 4 lovely new members tonight, welcome to Trish, Kevin, Heidi & James. We hope to see you again soon.
