16 GGers helped Ramsey Flowers Group and did the National 1km Time Trial

Welcome along to newbies Madelene, Joe and Susan. Lovely to have you along.

In the news this week:

1. The week is finally here, it's the GoodGym Olympics - woop woop! Come along to cheer if you aren't taking part and get involved in the National 1km Competition.
2. Well done to Graham and Alix who successfully led June's Long Run yesterday. Watch out for July's soon.

After we warmed up with some dynamic stretches we headed the 2km via Highbury Fields to help the Ramsey Flowers Group. This is a great group that look after a few plots and a pathway behind the Rose Bowl. They are increasingly doing more events here so the more we could clear and tidy the better.

Ahhh the biscuits are melting!

Splitting into teams we did the following:

1. A team of 6 cleared an area of weeds and ivy, straightened out an area where they can lay a pathway and planted some flowers (which needed a lot of water)
2. A team of 3 cleared an overgrown pathway of ivy and weeds.
3. The rest of the team bagged up piles upon piles of leaves, weeds and debris.

Over 35 minutes we worked really hard and got tons done to help our community. Overall we collected together 12 bags of weeds, ivy and leaves. Nice!

Once we'd taken our group picture we ran back via Highbury Fields for our 1km time trial. Quick work everyone!

Sign up for next week when we'll be helping Mildmay Community Centre a NEW TASK!

PB out.
