Goodgymmers were welcomed by blue sky and a spitfire flypast at Brickfields parkrun so it was already a great day before we'd even got going! Having been assigned our marshaling points the run director gave us brief instructions, all while an inflatable birthday cake was getting ready in the background - a bit surreal for a Saturday morning. Out on the course we cheered a record number of participants along their way, including the aforementioned cake which arrived at the finish line to much applause. A happy couple of hours well spent in great company helping a wonderful health initiative. Volunteering at parkrun is very easy and everyone is welcoming and supportive, so why not give it a try next time, it's a piece of cake!

Bath GoodGym trio Cosmo, Ruth and Tanya returned to Grow for Life's walled garden where they helped the regular Saturday volunteer group tackle an overgrown area. it was a battle against bindweed, brambles and burdock with the odd surprise find of an old rake, long lost loppers and even a selection of wellies amongst the undergrowth! Great progress was made in clearing the area which is destined to become an additional space to be used in therapeutic sessions. Join us next time in this lovely place to help Grow for Life continue to transform lives through gardening.
