Seven Coventry Goodgymers walked, ran and cycled to the Food Union Allotment to support with the general upkeep of the site that provides the Pod cafe with ingredients to make their lovely vegan menu!

For this task, we split into two groups, one group collected water from the river to water all of the thirsty plants (although it did try to rain whilst we were there), whilst the other group weeded around the courgettes and squash, carefully avoiding the cape gooseberry and cosmos that had seeded themselves! An excellent job well done and in a lovely location too - well done everyone!

What a beautiful space the residents of Keresley Village are creating. The progress they have made is amazing, its is going to be such an incredible place for people to enjoy.

Some back breaking work going on tonight pulling up some turf to make way for a path to enable wheelchair users to have access to the area.

Also lots of brambles and rubbish to clear to make it more user friendly and add a community garden to grow veg.

Really impressed with all they have achieved and we look forward to helping out again very soon!

Great work tonight everyone ⭐️

Tuesday 10th March—six Goodgymers turned up at Colliers football ground for round two of painting and scrubbing. Jane, John and Paul from the Coventrians were already there, cracking on with various jobs. Nigel, Lucy and me grabbed the overalls and went full painter-mode on the changing rooms and toilets. We are not quite Lawrence llywellyn bowen and crew but we have Nigel and he was cutting in the ceilings like a pro, while Lucy and I rolled everything else ! !. Lil, Georgia and Jackie smashed the cleaning: sweeping, bleaching showers, the lot. And the Dogs Lillie and Derek were wandering about like they own the place, as usual. Loads left to paint, so we'll be back soon. Proper good effort ,nice one! 🙌"
