Wednesday night with goodgym was "The Place" to be as six enthusiastic goodgymers met up to help prep a community centre. To get us all warmed up Peter led us to a local park do some exercise in the outdoor gym there. A few kettle bells swings later we met up with Kirsty from The Place to brush up on our decorating skills and do our bit to transform this amazing space. Walls were scrubbed and painted, ladders were climbed and "marigolds" donned. We must have impressed as we were offered tea, given a tour and invited back for future tasks! We also welcomed Becky to her first ever task.

A small but hardy crew of GoodGymers headed over to meet Adele up at Walter Halls School, a place we previously went to back in May to dig a big hole and roll giant cable reels down a hill (yes, really.

This time, Adele had ordered in some giant sacks of compost for the school allotment area, but the company refused to deliver them any closer to where they needed to be because of the poor weather.

So Rachel, Tom and Leah rolled up their sleeves, grabbed some spades and wheelbarrows and set about carting as much as we could across the school's expansive field and down into the allotment.

We quickly managed to fill a flowerbed and a half that Adele and her younger daughter had cleared of weeds, then started on making a big pile for the kids to get stuck into distributing around the garden.

Adele's older daughter became an honorary GoodGym member, helping us with the soil while keeping us hugely entertained with a wealth of riddles and insightful questions, and getting us our cardio in by turning each round into a literal wheelbarrow race.

We'll try to organise another task here soon, there's always plenty to do!
