Richard G, Janka and I spent Sunday morning helping the friends of Eastville Park volunteers. Because of the 10.30 start time I'd been able to help at junior parkrun, and, because the parkrunners were so speedy, had also managed to fit in a gentle jog around the park!

In true GoodGym style, this gentle jog turned into an impromptu plog, as I came across various discarded cans, bottles and a carrier bag!

Between 10.30 and just before 1pm, we were kept busy with various tasks. Julie manned a sack truck, helping move books ready to be picked up by the local Amnesty bookshop, took spare cleaning materials up to the lock up, and helped clear up when tragedy struck in the form of a large catering jar of ketchup with a loose lid! Richard and Janka had the muddier end of the task helping relocate the compost heap to a secluded spot in a grove of trees, wheelbarrows were involved!

Time passed quickly and soon we heard the magical words "time for a cuppa"! Feeling refreshed, we finished up our tasks and had a group photo before heading home.

A visit to the Nissan Hut is never complete without a shared historical anecdote and it was also great to see Andy Gee up and about again.
