What a lovely task to get involved in. Life never runs smoothly with one person having to pull out at the last minute and two others struggling to find the venue, so a massive thanks to Yan and Tony for persevering and getting there. It just shows the amazing spirit of Good Gymers. Jo, Ben and Matthew arrived and were welcomed with a lovely cup of tea.

They have got quite a operation going at Friend's of Norris Green Park, with a storage container and gazebo's and a generator operated tea urn and lots of cake. What's not to like? The work that they are doing in this park is enormous and so it is a gradual process and the locals are really starting to benefit from all their hard work.

We were tasked with clearing weeds out of seven circular flower beds. As we started the sun came out and the humidity went right up so it was hot and sweaty work but we are up for the task and with Tony and Yan turning up, it really helped boost the morale. We were treated to ice creams, and water and more tea and cake. Determined to get all the beds weeded we stayed a little longer than normal but it was so worthwhile as the finished photos will hopefully show.

I hope that we get to go back again and again to help this really worthy cause and to make yet another of our Liverpool parks start to look special. They have amazing plans for the park so watch this space. Amazing effort everyone!
