4 Goodgymers jogged and walked their way to the Community centre in Batheaston on a glorious sunny Sunday to help paint the community hall.

We welcomed Hayley who joined us for the first time. Welcome Hayley, we hope you enjoyed your task with us.

Faced with red doors, paint brushes and white paint, the team quickly got to work and managed a first coat on all the key areas identified by the task owner. You can see from the pictures that many more coats are required but we made a good start for the volunteers at the centre.

Rewarded with lovely sandwiches and juices, we then made our way back to our homes ready for a sunny afternoon at our own leisure.

Great Scott! There was a big sense of deja vu when we arrived at Alice Park, in the shape of a great big pile of bark chips sitting on a tarpaulin just outside the gate.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads - because the bark chip pile was there to help us finish off the series of paths we've been working on for the past few sessions.

It's our density to finish this path and so at a speed which possibly approached 88mph, we got to work wheelbarrowing chips around the site.

We finished in short order, stopped for a nice chat and a coffee and then... made like a tree and got out of there.

With lots of furry friend visitors to the park, we were asked to create a natural boundary hedge to protect a flower bed. Using willow we twisted and weaved the willow around existing posts to create a decorative hedge.

It took us just 1 hour and you can see from the photos that it's quite decorative :)

Well done team

7 Goodymers headed to Alice park to help with a variety of tasks.

We welcomed a new Goodgymer to the team! Welcome Vish it was lovely to meet you

We divided into two teams. Half the team were sawing wood and then using the wood to create a new natural fence in the garden.
Whilst the other half of the team were up and down ladders creating a bamboo frame to support the new grape vines.
We look forward to seeing the grape vines grow and provide a new natural shelter at the back of the garden.

As usual, the time went quickly and before we knew it, it was time for a rewarding hot drink and biscuit.

We look forward to joining the Alice Park volunteers again next month to finish our new boundary fence :)
