It was another wet one tonight, hence the pun! Do you remember the band Travis?!

Anyway, we still had twelve keen GoodGymer’s ready to do some good! One of them being Hilary, who joined GG Brum for the first time, being up here for work. She visited from the big smoke, with Newham being her home ground.

Front and back markers assigned, John doing the front and Aidan the back, we headed into the rain for our first visit this year to Stanhope Community Garden. On arrival with it being so wet, we were unsure what job they would have for us. Anyway the task was weeding, so we decided to get all the weeds out the paving flags, too avoid getting covered in mud! What a grand job the group did! In twenty minutes, I couldn’t see a weed in between any of the concrete paving flags! If only I had took a before and after pick! Oh and sorry for the lack of pics, with it being so wet it wasn’t the best night for picture taking! Anyway the group should be very proud of their efforts, we really did make a difference!

Once the task was done we headed back to 1000 Trades, I decided to abort any interval work with it being so wet and slippery (have I mentioned it was wet?!). Anyway the group still did a good run back, and the way back from this task is always up hill, so there is always plenty of tired bodies on the arrival back at base!

Next week we will be out doing good again, it would be great if you could join us sign up here.
