Raking news just coming in….

Three goodgymers met this morning to transform a patch of ground into a haven for wildflowers and diversity. Let’s go over to our roving reporter Richard for more.

Richard: Thanks Gary. It’s a warm one.

Thanks Richard. Informative as always. After the patch was cleared using scythes and rakes it was then scarified 👻. Finally the seeds were spread and watered. Hopefully in the next year the area will transform into a sea of colour and life.

Until next time…

The raspberries haven't had this much real estate to breath and drink in a long time. But our dedicated team of weed rippers sorted that out in no time! Barny and Jackie were very grateful that this monstrous task was done so well.

The work was partly sponsored by warm drinks and biscuits that the Berry Maze have been providing recently too, which we're very grateful of too!

Thanks for coming everyone, see you again next month!

Daylight! Sunshine! Smiles all round for our first light evening Group Run/Walk of 2026 after what’s felt like the longest, darkest, wettest winter ever.

Happy GoodGymmers set off to Brunswick Cemetery for Operation Sycamore No More to collect as many sycamore seedings as possible from the thousands that are sprouting. One sycamore tree is enough, thank you!

Left, right and centre, GoodGymmers were crouching, squatting, kneeling and, in Richard B's case, elegantly lounging to gather their bouquets of sycamores with a bit of stickybud to surreptitiously attach to a fellow GGer. Ieva, returning for her second good deed, was definitely the sinner of the biggest bouquet, mainly because the more experienced GGers wither made a pile or speedily bagged their offerings. There may be a prize giving ceremony next week.

Phill and Emma gave some of the tomb-covering ivy a trim whilst Vaguely Northern Darren ferried the trimmings yo the assigned green waste collection point.

The sign that everyone needed a good stretch was a group of GGers standing tall and happening to be chatting, naming no names Caroline, Richard G, Jason, Ed, and Dushyant!

A lovely stroll/run back as the sun set was followed by more chat at Workout whilst the football was on with a few if us continuing to practise our Japanese. More again next week?

Lovely day to end the Berry maze sessions for the year. Thanks all
