Yes we can!

Last night the team got a great workout digging soil, moving it around ans creating a clear path at Bedford Fields. The rest of us weeded the beds. It was a great atmosphere as usual, with lots of chat & fun along the way.

Welcome to Mary who joined us last night.

Five GoodGymers made their way down to The Attic for a big evening of Ceilidh dancing. Jubz made a big dumb by arriving an extra hour early because he put it into his diary wrong.

Regular Erica invited us all down and the four of us had a great time as newbies. All the attendees were really friendly and happy to dance with each other, strangers were all close friends for the night despite how sweaty we all got

What a gem of a place and activity, we are all dying for next month's session which is on Friday 25th September, we've only started buying tickets before they sell out again!

Tonight was the only Wednesday of the year that we didn't do a task, as we celebrated with our summer social instead. We headed to Beckett Park for a game of rounders which everyone enjoyed and Alice led a game of tag...which was absolutely exhausting!! Joao, Alice & Billy were 'on' and did a good job, but eventually we wore them out!

We cancelled our picnic as rain was forecast (even though it didn't materialise), so we headed to the pub & ordered some very questionable pizza. Was it toast or was it pizza...who knew?!

Thanks for a great night all.

Eleven GoodGymers headed to Bedford Fields this evening for weeding and tidying to paths and beds. We also spotted the apples were ripe for eating and the mulberry bush was begging us to find the darkest, sweetest berries. How could we refuse...

Adam got to try a new tool tonight...an extra long tree branch cutter (not it's official name). Needless to say, he was very pleased & is fast getting a reputation as our resident tool operator.

We were cutting the weeping willow tree branches to use them to wrap them around & protect the new fruit trees. This was not as easy as it looked & we made slow progress but our newcomers did manage to finish one off. Helen & Katie trimmed tomatoes & we also did a bit of weeding.

We even managed to avoid most of the rain, the runners got a bit wet, but mostly it stayed dry.

We had 4 lovely new members tonight, welcome to Trish, Kevin, Heidi & James. We hope to see you again soon.
