Thanks to today's GoodGymmers, Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, David Bilton and most of all thanks to Wendy Redmile for kindly donating the trees we spent a fun couple of hours planting at the Hollybank Trust.

The sun shone and we shifted hundreds of thistles from Huddersfield's Tiny Forest last night. It was nice to have a guest visit from firmer Huddersfield GoodGymmer David Bilton who showed he had not lost his touch for doing good.

Thanks to the entire team of Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, Louise Galvin, Wendy Redmile, Graham Browning, David and Pam for their thistle pulling efforts.

We tided last night, all the way along Leeds Road, clearing litter from the newly planted central reservation and wildflower areas. It definitely look tip-top by the time we had finished.

Then to mark the departure of longstanding and much valued Huddersfield GoodGymmer David Bilton, we enjoyed a post-task tapas at Maison la Pepa in the town centre. Thanks to David, Kati Law, Ben Godfrey and Louise Galvin for your efforts last night and best wishes to David for life in Northumberland.

Tonight's Community Mission required unbridled enthusiasm and energy. Working with Kirklees Bridleways Group we cut back and cleared a stretch of bridleway of overgrown vegetation which was impeding the use of the route by local walkers, runners, cyclists and equestrians.

Well done to Wendy Redmile who as part of hr daily hat challenge sported a horse riding hat for the task.

Free celery last week. Free lemonade this week....we like jobs at Cowcliffe. More weeding and path making to help the recreation ground looks its best for the fun day this weekend.
