Today a group of GoodGym-mers joined the Friends of Burgess park in picking litter in Burgess Park.

As we arrived we were greeted by Susan and the rest of the Friends of Burgess Park team along with their unmistakable flag. Susan quickly briefed us and set us on the "long grass" area between the church and the "Bridge to Nowhere", whilst other groups tackled the other nature areas of the park.

The park was bustling in the nice weather and we garnered a lot of attention, lots of "thank you"s and hopefully a new GoodGym recruit! Together we filled three hefty bags of litter. Amongst the many bottle caps and beer cans we also found a smoke grenade and a knife(!).

Finally a big welcome to Sinan who joined us for his first GoodGym experience today!
