Wow, what a contrast to last week with the weather and thank goodness the sun shone on us as there was a lot of raking to be done as 14 GoodGym Coventry runners headed to Langar Aid to rake the garden and litter pick and tidy the surrounding areas.

It was great to welcome three new GoodGym runners, Nigel, Ed and Victoria.

Having been greeted by some of the Langar Aid staff, roles were quickly decided and some cleared the garden of cut grass, some tidied the garden and swept and litter picked the surrounding area. It was clear to see how keen everyone was to complete the task well, conscientiously clearing and sweeping till the last moments.

It was great to meet not only some of the volunteers at Langar Aid but also some of the people who benefit form the work Langar Aid do and who would benefit from our hard work. Once the task was finished, it was great to see inside too to see the kitchen and dining area and learn a little more about the history of Langar Aid.

On our way back to Drapers, we stopped for a quick relay run with team 2 being the winners. Good work all and well done Pia for doing 2 legs on tired legs and Ed for helping maintain order.

See you all next week hopefully for some gardening at Spencer Park. Have a good week, Liz x
