We welcomed Grant to his first GoodGym deed and what a great one to pick as your first.

We met Will, the Mousehold Warden, who then took us well into the depths of Mousehold Heath (I'm glad he was there as I would have got everyone lost otherwise!).

There were 3x tasks for the team to get stuck into this evening.

1) Pop and Pull out self seeded birch trees (which will be replanted in more appropriate areas of the heath). 2) Remove some cut back gauze bushes (this is where the gauntlet gloves were very much needed). 3) Pull up some early growing bracken.

It was a very sociable evening with a great turn out of people.

Tonight was all about Alina, who was completing her 100th deed with GoodGym, what an achievement! Congratulations Alina.

The task tonight was our first ever visit to Magdalen Medical Practice, to give their garden a good clear over.

As you can see from the photos, the team of GoodGymers had to work had and did a grand job.

On a bright evening, five runners met at the Forum and ran the two miles to Dell Rose Court old peoples home. Once we arrived, we started chatting to a couple of residents. Although the Easter quiz sheets were put out, it was decided that the residents weren’t quite feeling in the mood for the Easter quiz so instead we set about the gardening tasks in the enclosed courtyard. We spent the session watering the plants, doing some weeding and generally tidying and sprucing up the area for the residents to enjoy. After a short while more residents popped down and Maddy and Woody spent the remainder of the time in conversation with the residents making it a positive evening. Woody was especially helpful lending some DIY expertise in fixing a bird feeder. We left Dell Rose feeling that the evening was successful and that next time maybe we would get to do the quiz!!! A good run back in good spirits to the Forum was then had.

When done to everyone who got stuck into the task this evening.

We laid plenty of wild flower seeds to help make Sloughbottom Park bloom in the summer months
