On a hot hot hot evening, Rachael led the team on a chatty, sweaty jog along the ridge up to Bedford Fields. They weeded, wood chipped & ate gooseberries in the shade.

Thanks to Rachael for leading & to everyone else for turning up in this heat!

Welcome to Christopher who completed his first session.

Tonight we had a lovely big group who all headed to Meanwood Valley Farm to help the team with a variety of jobs. The main job was to prepare a large area ready for tomato plants. Apparently they need soft ground, up to 50cm deep in order to thrive which was good to know, as I prepare to plant my own in the coming days. We used a large variety of tools including a wheel hoe which was very satisfying to use! This area is now ready for the plants to go in.

Our resident compost turners did their work as usual, Rachel & Helen always volunteer for this smelly job & Shannen joined them tonight, thanks ladies :)

As we always do, we got sent away with a variety of organic veggies including beetroot, radishes & rhubarb. Delicious!

Welcome to newcomers Billy & Katie, we hope to see you again soon.

Great work team!

Tonight was our spring social & what great weather for it!

We ran straight to OWLS allotments where we spent around 40 minutes weeding & moving compost. We worked fast so that we could get to the park for our game of rounders. We got into two teams of 9/10 people & started the game. I don't think we 100% stuck to the rules but no one cares, we just have fun with it! We all had 3 bats each & I'm proud to say our team won with a score of 10 & a half to 8 & a half rounders. Well done gang!

We then headed to the pub for food & drinks. Poor Shannen got asked for ID so couldn't buy her alcohol free beer (yes really)...I'd take it is a compliment Shannen!

Welcome to Lydia on her first session, we hope to see you again soon. Thanks also to Erica for bringing everyone she knows to GoodGym:)

Thanks for a great evening all!

Following our failed star gazing trip last weekend where there was nothing but cloudy skies, tonight, of course there was a clear sky & fabulous view of the stars! Orions Belt was in clear view...typical :)

We headed to Bedford Fields for path laying & wood chipping. It was great to start with a bit of light...spring is on its way, thank goodness.

Well done to Jason on his 75th good deed, Adam completed his 45th & Lydia her 35th! You're all amazing.

It was great to meet Hope tonight, welcome to GoodGym.

Thanks to everyone for coming out & doing so much in so little time.
