We love our monthly missions to Nunsmoor park where they hold a volunteer day at the end of every month for anyone in the local area to get involved.
5 of us tackled a patch of overgrown nettles and weeds to create a lovely open space near The Bike Garden as part of the Nunsmoor Park work on making it a safer and more open place for people to be.
While a few of us regretted the choice of wearing shorts - isn’t it always hard to know what to wear when you come to GoodGym straight after parkrun?!- we mainly managed to remain nettle sting free. Phew!
The usual tea and biscuits on offer made everyone smile and even more pleased we used our Saturday mornings to help another brilliant cause.
