We are a small charity with limited resources, so jobs like this often fall by the wayside. It helps us to continue to focus on our core work, but also with compost, it means we can have less inputs and save money

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.

In the words of Erica, Helen had 'pure steamer joy' tonight whilst watching the eclipse through her veg steamer! Luckily Adam also brought some eclipse glasses so he shared them with 14 of us! Thanks Adam! We got a good view at the beginning & end of the session which was amazing to see.
We headed to OWLS allotments to fix raised beds & to do our usual weeding. We also had a journalism student come to interview us about all things GoodGym. Adam & I both got interviewed...let's hope we come across OK!
We got everyone's hopes up on the way back as we were going to get ice cream but sadly the queue was too long! Next time.
It was nice to welcome Maya, a member of the Young Leaders group who started tonight. Welcome!

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.

This afternoon, we had a beautiful time swimming & paddleboarding at Pool Bridge Farm near York. It's such a gorgeous spot.
Helen & I got stuck in 2 hours of traffic on route but it was so worth it for the ice cream, the exercise, the picnic & the lovely company. Best of all...no one drooped the oar! A successful trip all in all :)
It was nice to see Hope again & to meet Kieran.
