Lots to celebrate tonight. Parkrun pbs for Neil and Claire, Claire hitting 300 and Nick completing a triathlon. We also welcomed Beth to her first group run and Katie who was visiting from Edinburgh.

We named and numbered off saying our favourite beverage in honour of national beer drinking day. There was a surprising amount of tea and coffee!

We then off to Holgate allotments. A select few were tasked with clearing the communuty orchard - Kit and Jane looked to be having a lot of fun the lawnmower. The remainder of the group collected tools and set to work on digging over an overgrown plot. Due to the high concentration of goodgymers we made rapid progress, leaving the plot ready for new tenants. And if that wasn't enough Nick, Claire and Michael went hunting for balsam in the beck!

We finished off with a game of catch squat, with Ed's team getting very excited over their victory!

Thanks team, another bumper week.

Holgate Allotments Association
Working to improve our beautiful site for the benefit of plotholders, the local community and the environment.

With the help of Goodgym we have already created a lovely community orchard garden and reclaimed an overgrown allotment space to create starter beds for people new to allotmenting. We want to continue to improve Holgate Allotments to bring more of the plots back to life and make it easier for new gardeners to get growing.
