We met up at Colwick Parkrun this morning to spread the word about GoodGym and try to attract some new GGers.

We'd already handed out two leaflets before we started and only had two left by the end, with Alison and Jen answering lots of questions about the project and Abigail and Leah Run Directing and barcode scanning respectively.

Hopefully we've attracted a few new members and look forward to welcoming them to their first tasks soon!

P.S. I appear to be completely incapable of taking pictures with my mouth closed, apologies!

Not one, not two, but three parks were plogged by seven Nottingham Goodgymers. Rachel L, Rachel W, Soliane, Hamish, Alison, Janine and Peter were suitably armed with hi-viz and litter pickers and were soon filling our purple bin bags making these three publics spaces that little bit nicer. That nice in fact that we saw a hula hoop workshop taking place in park number one - next time Goodgymers, next time!

Between the showers 7 of Nottingham's finest put on their gardening gloves, rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the the overgrown weeds around the Russell Youth Club. With plenty to go at Alison, Janine and Peter tackled the front of the building while first timers Jules, Deena and Diane joined Rachel hacking their way down the side of the building, Indiana Jones style. No Cinnabar Moth caterpillars were harmed during the whirlwind of Goodgymers armed with secateurs and shears filling green bags aplenty. Alarmingly though, Peter managed to set off the burglar alarm whilst locking away the tools but alls well that ends well and the task owner came out to reset and got an unexpected sneak preview of our efforts
