We said a very warm welcome to Mohammed for his first GoodGym task, looking to get fit and help out, as well as improve his English. Big thanks to Richard for helping Mohammed to register on the website and to request his t-shirt. Also thanks to Russell for reminding me to do a headcount before setting off; I'm a bit rusty on the old run leading protocol. We were pleasantly surprised to see Jane without Rich, apparently he had better things to do?!
Joel and Ben led us out along the bunny walks in the sun (it was still light?!) and up to Tyrells Primary School. Our task was to excavate heaps of soil and gravel and dig out the patchwork of weed suppressing membrane underneath. Fay was already digging when we arrived, and Sallyann was on photo duty.
Everyone grabbed a shovel and started digging. Some of the membrane was easier to get at than other areas; Martin, Joel, Russell, Fay and maybe Andy, worked particularly hard on one area and dragged out a large sheet of membrane as the last triumph of the evening.
There was some question as to how hard Andy was working, judge for yourselves from the photos.
Excellent work everyone. We'll be back in May for some more hard work.
We've got a community mission at Barrow Farm on Sunday morning and the quiz at the Ale House on Sunday evening, and next week we're painting at Beaulieu Community Centre.
See you all soon,
Laurie

There was a treat for everyone as Dylan dropped Laurie off for her first run lead since mid-2024! very, very exciting.
We said hello to Zoe who unfortunately hadn't known there would be running and didn't make it to the meeting point for flyering on Hill View. We do have a walking option for some tasks and ordinarily can arrange a meeting point.
Richard, Rich and Andy obviously grumbled but did a route on the Bunny walks to ensure there was some fitness involved before meeting the legendary team of Fay and Sallyann to begin leafletting. Andy clearly did least leafletting as he had most left but he did get a rare 'talking pass' as he was chatting to Fay. Prize for most energetic definitely goes to Richard!
We helped out 3 charities and ran back to the gym. Good to be back leading and check out all the April tasks online now! Clocks forward this weekend (to punish mothers) so nice and light next week.
