Handicapped by the heat on a scorching hot day, 6 goodgymers turned out at lunchtime to spruce up the Heeley nag, prepping the old mare for a new coat of bright white paint in the coming weeks.

James, Michelle, Rachel and Celine kicked of the task at a canter with Caroline and Ash following up hot on their tails from a few lengths (30 mins) behind.

With the bit in our teeth, much scraping was done, and many years of previous paint removed, showing the real benefit of having the numbers even though we weren't there furlong (thanks James).

P.S. Kudos to Heeley People's Park Rob for bringing the suncream, much appreciated.

Good to see we helped Heeley Development Trust, Heeley Development Trust, and Heeley Development Trust (sounds like a rubbish law firm 😄)
