Ten eager beaver GG’s met at Holgate allotments on New Years Day to get the January Challenge off to a rolling start.

It was a task that could have been managed by a handful, but as it’s January we may as well see how many goodgymmer’s it takes to shovel a pile of bark chip.

After lots of chat, sharing of the one shovel (there were plenty of spades but only one official shovel), a few selfies with other GG’s in whilst doing good and some squats for good measure, we’d all managed to complete plenty of the January Challenge Bingo squares. Wait, I mean, we’d managed to shift the bark chip into bags into the van ready to be taken to our tiny forest.

Then we said our goodbyes as a few set off to run to the next task (I told you they were eager beavers).
