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.
Heeley Development Trust (HDT) is a small, charitable development trust, founded by local volunteers, business people & residents in 1996. We have delivered youth, community, environmental and economic development projects in and around our neighbourhood for the last 20 years. We are working hard, developing a diverse range of income, social enterprises and assets, all with the aim of making Heeley a great place to live, with a real sense of place, pride and community. Our projects include; Heeley People's Park, Sum Studios (saving a Grade 2 listed Victorian School and redeveloping as managed work space – this is bringing jobs and investment into our community), The Heeley Voice - a local magazine and Recycle Bikes – a social enterprise supporting disengaged young people to gain training, confidence, work experience and jobs. If you are interested in any of our projects, would like to get involved or are willing to volunteer any of your time please do not hesitate to contact us or give us your feedback.

(Celine was going to say it'd been a long time since we'd been together on a weekday lunchtime)
