The earth moves around the .......fence and back into the raised planter
12 GoodGymers made their way 8.0km to help their local community in Hammersmith and Fulham.

This week saw 12 of us return to Ray's Playhouse in Fulham. After a not too sabby 4km run there we were set to work on a cornucopia of jobs! The Aska, Ellie and Will team set about re-varnishing a raised planter and bench to make them look like new (and Will showed off his skill of re-varnishing and drinking a cup of tea in sync without a drip of either being spilt!). The Zac, Nic and Justine team set about painting the porch poles (and Justine...!) in a lovely GoodGym red. Becca trimmed the grass play area back to beautiful neatness, and the remaining team moved (heaven and) earth to decant the soil from a second very large(!) raised planter, transported it into another area of the garden and re-filled it.
Overall it was a very satisfying accomplishment of tasks and work-out for the muscles. Big thanks to Jason for expertly leading the run (and knowing the short cut at the end ;) ! ) and a big well done to everyone else on a great job! I hope the arms are not too sore this morning!
