4 Goodgymmers raced the arrival of the rain as they gave trees around Wood Green a lovely autumnal manicure

A hard rain's gonna fall

Our ninja squad defied the weather warnings and impeding downpours to lend a hand to the Friends of Green Spaces in Noel Park. The suckers on the trees along the Lymmington Avenue in the estate are renowned for their vigorous growing and every Autumn we have been tasked with maintaining them and keeping them in check.

Not even the threat of hard rain could stop us and the four of us managed to get through about half of the road before the first bit of rain and thunder arrived.

We'll be back in a couple of weeks to finish the job.

10 Goodgymmers crashed into the gates at Russell Park for an evening of painting and bonhomie. Highlights of the evening included Gramps absolutely stacking it on the run to task and injuring himself in a few places, and our Sarah's unwitting invitation for a spot of heavy caressing. You had to be there!

Normal service will resume this week at Chapmans Green - come!
