Liverpool Report written by Emma Ridgeon
On Monday evening GoodGym Liverpool returned to our regular haunt on Park Lane for our urban street clean up.
Congrats to Jess for taking part in her fifth task!!
Most of us got to work removing the throng of thistles, learning top tips such as:
Double gloving is useful when you accidentally bring your rubbish ones You must cut off the thistle flowers and bag them up before their seeds spread Using shears as a method to transport thistles is very effective
Whilst we were tackling the thistles Bekah was doing a boss job litter picking. She also saved a cornucopia of slugs (I did not know this was the collective word for these docile slimy creatures so I've learnt something new).
She rescued them from certain death after finding one half in, half out of a can of lager, she liberated it and then found another 15 inside the can!! So she's relocated them somewhere more suitable so they can enjoy their best life.
We got an incredible amount of work done, as seen in the photo, and here's hoping that we managed to get those wretched seeds into the bags ready to be taken far, far away.
We will be back again next week and I'm so confident we will remove every last one of the thistles ready for Elaine to manage the area to make it beautiful for the people of Liverpool (and for her dog Riley to play in without getting prickled by the offending vegetation).
Well done gang!!

Our monthly Goodgym parkrun breakfast saw a bunch of smiling faces meeting up for our June session. It's a chance for people to meet up at parkrun or at breakfast afterwards or at both.
This month saw Amina, Bekah, Heetu, Jess, Leo, Sian and Steph running parkrun -all looking strong despite the exhausting heat. Lucien saw everyone in through the ever extending finishing tunnel (the number of runners are such that the walk from the finishing line to get to the tokens and scanning is long.... especially after a hot 5k run) . Jo and Sallyann were volunteering on the scanners. After the obligatory photos Amina headed home and the rest of us set off to have breakfast where Liam joined us. That's the beauty of the parkrun and breakfast it really is a chance to fit around your Saturday morning...Come along for whatever and whenever you want.
This month we went to the cafe Minna on Lark Lane for breakfast. Breakfast, which included some amazing colourful matcha drinks, did not disappoint. Over breakfast there was the very important task of applying the stickers to the loyalty cards (although don't forget there is also the mystery categories and who knows when they may just meet a category requirement).
With everyone's cards stickered up we headed off from Lark Lane to carry on our Saturday with that lovely feeling of time spent with a great bunch of people.

Despite a weather forecast suggesting we would have a wet task 16 Goodgymers met under dry skies with Friends of St James Gardens.
Our task was to clear the area around Huskissons monument. it's a large paved area that had become a growing space for a large amount of weeds in between the slabs.
We welcomed Abi who is from Climate Coalition who came to join in and find out more about Goodgym Liverpool for Great Green Week.
It was such a lovely atmosphere with so many people working together. Plenty of opportunities to chat as we worked which is always a plus (in this report writers opinion). Michael from Friends Of St James Park also kept us entertained with his vast collection of jokes.
One of the great things about our tasks is that you see such great results in just an hour. Many hands really do make light work. The difference between the start and finish surprised us all. We still have a bit to finish so will be back next week to finish the task.
