Monday night is GoodGym night

It was great to see the team tonight ! Thank you to you all that turned out to the task.Apart from anything else we had a really nice chat and catch up.

4 weeks ago we were at The Heene Community Garden laying cardboard under the soil to try and prevent the weeds growing. We went back today to ensure the cardboard is doing its work - and , it really is! Apart from some bindweed and few tiny weed shoots across the freshly dug soil we seem to be winning the battle. However if we had left it another 4 weeks it may have been another story! Tonight we weeded and cleared filling 2 bags! We will continue to win the battle 😇😊

Many thanks to Paul, RoxyElRickyMel and Paul for your time and energy today..

Next week,with the clocks springing forward,meaning light evenings again, we are returning to St Botolph's Church which is a GG Worthing favourite. I hope to see lots of you there!

Have a great week!

Beast from the East ?

On a freezing cold evening 5 of us braved the elements to do a tidy up of Anchor Gardens which is a seafront flowerbed which we have been visiting for several years.

Thank you to my team Paul, Sue, El, Stéphane and Ricky for their time and effort tonight.

We filled 3 bags of debris mainly thanks to Stephane's pruning of the large palm together with El's pruning of the other large palm tree/bush. With debris collected, it was job done for another week.

Wishing you a happy and healthy week and hope to see lots of you next week.

On a stunning evening on the extremely sunny south coast 10 of us gathered at Heene Community Rooms garden on our mission to finish laying cardboard under the freshly dug soil.

Congratulations to Mel on her first half marathon at Brighton at the weekend - the first of many I think! Also well done to Paul who pulled a great time out of the bag despite having been ill.

Megan and Stéphane headed out for some interval sprints down to the seafront and back. They were worked on a perceived exertion scale gradually increasing the effort over 5 repetitions of the same distance. Suffice to say I think they had a great work out!

Ricky worked on removing tape from the cardboard that I had acquired whilst the rest of the team worked on digging up the soil and digging it in.

Shout out to our very own ultra runner Roxy who despite all her recent kilometres, put some energetic digging. Many thanks to you all for some serious effort with this task - I actually feel we may have finally cracked it !

El came up with this great pun after I had mentioned to John that it was fine to take a break from his energetic raking !

During the task eagle eyed Belinda spotted our very own Worthing fonder member Beth running by with her brother and Dad. I hackled her enough that she couldn't ignore it so she stopped for a brief chat and photo :) What a lovely surprise!

Many thanks to Paul for completing his task force training - maybe a task report may be a first chance to flex your TF muscles?!

Looking forward to seeing lots of you next week - I'm not quite sure what the task will be but watch this space !
