Three GoodGymers and two friends turned up for this Sunday morning community mission in Dulwich.

Our monthly session with Ian at the community rugby club brought out Alison from GG Bromley and Laura and Sam from GG Southwark. Sam had invited his friend Sam and Swapnali.

It was such a beautiful morning for the task at hand. Since the rugby season was over, there were no kids training in the grounds, but our efforts were concentrated along the main road (South Circular) to trim back the hedges with loppers and shears. Since any overhanging trees is the rugby club's responsibility and they wanted to ensure walkers, runners and especially cyclists wouldn't have a restricted path.

We spent the hour and a bit chopping and throwing the cuttings back onto the grounds to some tunes from Sam as we got into the rhyme.

As it got closer to midday, Sam called it as we tidied up and brought back the tools before Ian offered us some brownies and fresh fruits.

There was just time for a group photo before Laura had to dash! We are back at Old Alleynian Rugby Club next month (always on the last Sunday of the month). As always, it's great to have as many hands as we can get.
