Giving the war memorial a ‘face-leaf-t’
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Friends of Greenhead Park in Huddersfield.

The dip in the temperature this morning didn’t put off SallyAnn, Louise, David, Meg and as we met up with Paul from Friends of Greenhead Park to lend a hand getting the war memorial area of the park spruced up for Remembrance Day. In true GoodGym fashion we quickly got our brooms and headed across the park. Louise and SallyAnn tackled one set of steps, and while David, Meg, Paul and I swept the other. A special shout out goes to SallyAnn and Meg who had already volunteered at parkrun this morning. The conversation started with running injuries, which soon paled into insignificance as we remembered Huddersfield’s war dead, especially those who died in Afghanistan earlier this decade. After about an hour the steps were clear of fallen foliage and were much safer for our war veterans to walk up and down. Well done to Louise who completed her FIFTIETH good deed today and thank you to Paul for financing the hot drinks afterwards. We all owe you a coffee now!
