Eight intrepid Goodgymers returned to Sherwood Methodist Church to tackle more of the overgrown garden.

With loppers, secateurs, brooms and wheelie bins ready we all got stuck in. Peter and Rachel finished off the cutting down at the front to finally reveal the Methodist Church signage. And no branches fell on any heads at all (sorry Rachel!)

Elsewhere, high roses were cut back and wheelie bins were filled to the brim with cuttings and branches and Matthew!

Huge thanks go to Tony and Janice from the church who supervised us so expertly and even made us a cuppa after before we all left as the heavens opened!

Massive congratulations to Tom for hitting his 100 good deeds - Goodgym gives you wings!

A select group of four Nottingham GoodGymers headed to Carrington for our latest task. Dayna, Matt, Rachel and, new member, Lara spent an hour weeding, tidying and cutting back nettles and thorns in the Community Garden, assisted by honorary GoodGymer, Councillor Nayab Patel. Nayab has been pivotal in getting the project to improve the garden off the ground and, as always, was keen to help out, hear about our latest work and provide us with treats after the task.

The garden is looking so much better than when we first began working on it back in June, although there is still a fenced off area of brambles which Matt was itching to get stuck into. Hopefully we can return at some point to make more inroads into the brambles and, with possible help from the Council, may be able to have that area cleared in the near future.

A big thanks to Nayab for her support, and to Matt for dashing home to get some bags for the cuttings. Also welcome to Lara on her first GoodGym task!
