11 Goodgymers attended Earlsdon Primary School to finish painting the gate and railings outside the school. We started this task whilst coats were still needed, so we were long overdue a visit to finish the job off.

We started by giving the railings a good wipe as they were very dusty, and then got to work painting. With lots of catching up to do amongst the group the time flew by, and there was even time for the expert painters to tidy up some of the patches we missed last time.

Excellent work everyone, the school looks ready for another academic year!

Six Coventry Goodgymers went to Earlsdon Primary School for some painting this evening. The blue railings outside the school needed some TLC and a fresh lick of paint.

Once the cobwebs had been removed, we did a bit of sanding and got to work on painting the railings a lovely shade of navy. The paint was quite drippy and the railings may need another coat - but it's a start! Pedestrians passing commented on how good it looked so far which was nice. Well done everyone, excellent job!

Eight Goodgymers met at the Primary Plot in Earlsdon for our last visit of the year as the nights draw in. Our task was to fill in the pot holes in the driveway so that it is safe for everyone visiting the allotment. As the saying goes 'many hands make light work' and we quickly filled up the holes, just in time to enjoy the final glimpse of the sun for the day and pose for a few photos.

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Primary Plot, Earlsdon Primary School's allotment on a beautifully sunny summers' evening.

Tasks for the evening included weeding around the whole plot, tidying up the hedgerow, using wheelbarrows to move woodchippings to keep those pesky weeds at bay and getting the area ready for a busy summer term of activities on the primary plot! Well done and fantastic work everyone, we achieved lots this evening and we look forward to visiting again soon to see what the children have been planting, and maybe do a bit more weeding!

Same time next week?

9 Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Earlsdon Primary School allotment for a lovely evening in the sunshine. Our tasks for the evening were to dig, weed and rake in and around the raised beds so that they are ready for planting and continue working in the community allotment to get it ready for use!

Fantastic work everyone, we will back back again during the summer to support with maintaining the allotment so it can be used by the primary school children. Welcome to Mobi for your first session, see you again soon!

Nine Coventry Goodgymers went to the Earlsdon Primary School allotment to help with general maintenance and tidying around the plot.

The school have recently taken on some new spaces on the allotment site, so the first job was to clear all of the rubbish and leftover bits and bobs and after much wheelbarrowing up and down the allotment site, the space was clear. We then moved our attention to moving a large table and a water bowser to their new positions, and we finished our evening with a speed weeding session, ten minutes to clear planters of weeds.

Fantastic team work everyone, and in daylight too!
