It turns out that we had four Run Leaders at the task, and Run Leaders make great sweepers (although the others are very speedy).

The leaves didn’t stand a chance, weeds and grasses were hoiked out of places they shouldn’t be before the pagoda painting commenced - so many tall GoodGymmers soon made light work with their light oak. Chris might have been tallest and made a clean sweep of the floor together with Vicky and Vaguely Northern Darren.

Did someone say Pimm's o'clock?
