We started the evening with some treats from Raleigh to celebrate the new partnership between them and GoodGym and we finished the evening by announcing that Harry has been chosen to be one of the GG / Raleigh ambassadors. Great for them and for us!

We had 3 groups heading to PARCS tonight... "meet you there", "chat pace" and "mid pace".

Unfortunately no-one was there to greet us and let us through to the back garden 😕 but fortunately there was a fair bit of weeding and rubbish clearance to do in the front driveway so we were still able to do them a bit of a favour and also had plenty of opportunity to catch up with each other. Great to see so many faces and also to have some sunshine!

Wilson showed excellent determination in litter retrieval from under the hedges and Mick tried to make his good deeds count as much as his t-shirt suggested by attacking the weeds with vigour! Secateurs were repurposed for digging out weeds and rubbish & the brown bin was pretty full by the time we finished.

I've emailed the person who we arranged this with so so hopefully we will manage to get another date in to get grips with the garden!

Don't forget that it's the London Marathon on Sunday so send all your best running positive thinking to Dave who will be covering the 26.2 miles.
