Normally your author would start the report with a summary of the task, but today seems a perfect opportunity to remember who we are and what we bring.

So firstly, I want to shout out our newest member, Cecliia, who has just dived in to Good Gym, doing not one but three missions on her first weekend of Good Gym volunteering.

And secondly, we have the genius of Khai. Many of us are happy to write run reports but struggle with a good pun for the title. Khai has made this task so much easier with many amazing suggestions including today’s report title.

And so to the task. Today we were back at St Richard’s church hall in Charlton to continue clearing the garden of weeds. For some time, we’ve been slowly clearing out the weeds, the alkanet, the general overgrowth and the brambles. In fact, one of the tasks today was bagging up the huge pile of cuttings we’d cut down on Wednesday. Four of us got down to work digging and cutting and after an hour we’d cleared a huge space. And dare I say that, after many months of work, we’ve finally cleared all four sides of the church ready for them to start work on creating a paths and green spaces or all of the local community to use.

Well done to everyone involved. Our next run is a rare Thursday trip to perennial Good Gym favourite More2 childcare https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/group-run-helping-at-more2-nursery-6826c8ed-1377-414f-bb6e-91f3aaf528cb
