Freeing the trees from the confines of their plastic sleeves!

Spent another hour at the tree sleeves removal task. Plenty more to go!

It was the Wednesday. It was cold. Against such challenges 2 brave Goodgymmers marched the streets to deliver a medley of Christmas promotions to some cosy looking homes and help promote some local charities. And then, not much sooner than we'd started, the piles dwindled and our job complete, we parted ways to complete the evening, a job well done and a busy week in Colchester. Join us next week for something else maybe.

A chilly but dry evening enjoyably spent clearing lots of leaves and scrubbing away moss at Plum Hall, Colchester Borough Homes. Autumn has truly arrived! We helped make the paths and pavement accessible and hopefully prevented them becoming slippery in the rain. Topics of conversation included how not to include a leaf pun in the run report title and philosophical bedtime stories for children!

Two goodgymers walked 4 miles to join a group of like minded individuals keen to continue the task of freeing the trees. We removed and gathered 11 bags of plastic sleeves, and a big pile of wooden poles for collection. It was a real workout!

Chilly evenings are here, so after meeting at the theatre for another Goodgym task we quickly set about gathering some trash to keep warm. Some chat about upcoming birthday parties, vaping and the weird logic of people throwing full cans of RedBull in the street, but a time well spent and some good done, as agreed by a passing pizza delivery lady.

Join us for a bunch of upcoming tasks in November!!
