Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Manjit Birk
Nice to have a few goodgymers out on a bank holiday Monday for a bit of doing good and getting fit.
It all started as a nice evening task. Our run part today was actually a strength based fitness session which we did at the end of our session.
The park itself was pretty eventuful this evening. The play areas were full of children enjoying themselves, the main park was full of people playing football and cricket, the families were out having picnics and then there was us... litter picking up behind everyone.
Tonights hoard found us a ready salted crisp packet with a use by date of 2019! It was hidden away in the deep dark depths of the bushes.
Cutting hedge technology?
Speaking of bushes... Abdul found a kitchen knife in the ones adjacent to Bath Rd. Luckily no signs of blood! We reported it to the police but were told to just dispose of it!
So we did our best to cover up the sharp end with cardboard then double wrap it in bags before 'safely' disposing of it.
As we continued our litter pick we found a gun!!!!
But don't worry... the only thing shooting out of this one was water...
We disposed of that safely too! Some serious trouble shooting going on tonight!
On a lighter note, there was a lovely wedding ceremony taking place on the green outside the Karahi restaurant.
Cant resist a good slam
After collecting 5 bags of rubbish we ended the session with some resistance band exercises followed by kettlebell and slam ball sets.
Thank you to everyone for coming along this evening.
Next Monday we will be helping Raggy Rd Allotments. Hope to see you there.
