It was a warm evening tonight! 9 GoodGymer's ran, cycled and walked bravely up Gas Hill to St Matthew's church.

We met Penny & Eddie who handed round drinks and pointed out where to work in the grounds and the car park, pulling up weeds and cutting back overgrown brambles & branches.

We started around the war memorial, pulling weeds from the paving around it, and cleaning off the dried moss.

In an hour we had also cleared the areas around the church sign, and improved access to the car park entrance.

Shout out to Mildrade, Konstantina and Hepsi joining us for their first group session! It was lovely meeting you all.

Tonight 9 GoodGymer's ran or cycled 4km to support St Matthew's Church. It was our first visit here, and the route included a jog up Gas Hill!

Once we arrived Reverend Patrick showed us the tools and asked if there were any 'Happy choppers'? Which at GoodGym the answer is always yes!

He directed us to the overgrown areas of the car park, and the borders in front of the church, and we got to work clearing weeds and brambles so that the entrance signs could be seen more clearly.

Also inside the church an Easter display needed dismantling, including a number of large stones to be carrier back into the garden. In no time at all, both tasks were completed with a sense of satisfaction comparing the before and after photos... We were also offered refreshments of tea & biscuits!

Shout outs to Francesca for completing her 10th task, and Emily reaching 100 Good Deeds!! Marvelous work everyone.
