This evening we met with Amy who gave us lots of lovely fliers to deliver round the Stirch streetz. A massive welcome to our new member Abigail, who joined us from Bristol! We hope to have you back soon!
After a good 45 mins of leafletting we went on a 4k run on the river rea with Laura cycling alongside and Chris taking the opportunity for a walk.
All in all a great time with some much needed refreshments in the pub afterwards!

We had a brilliant evening at St Martin’s in the Bullring, a beautiful church full of activity and friendly people. Morwenna, Nathan and I had a warm welcome from Tina and Rich, who showed us the outdoor area in need of some weeding and tidying.
What a fascinating surprise! We found ourselves looking out over Digbeth level with double-decker buses, all set with lots of tools to clear brambles, sweep paving and dig through soil. It was a big team effort from us all and a regular church volunteer, Rob, also joined in!
We were glad of the sunny evening, beautiful church architecture and lively city centre buzz all around us. We all enjoyed it and were happy to leave everything looking that bit clearer than when we arrived.

Nice early start of Park Run after doing night shift.
Signed up for Park Walking volunteering role to get more walkers signed and enjoyed the run.
Got to Sutton park 10 mins before the run start. There were loads of runners/walkers already there ready to start. Straight went to run Director to introduce myself and picked up Park Walking light Blue hiving, so we are visible to all walkers.
1 lap course for Park run ( Bit hilly) but enjoyable. Had great time and fun.
Even got cake and cookies after as a treat.

We had a great turn out at GG Brum tonight back at St Thomas Nursery School.
Jonny biked with Morwenna running and Christina also on her bike. The rest of the group walked, with Eve and James fresh from their Birmingham Half Marathon exploits!
The task was weeding and creosoting, hence the pun. We got some nice weeding before and after pictures and we got the 'story seat' and the greenhouse creosoted, so it was a great task done :)

Two GoodGymers met Karen from Friends of the Earth and set about cleaning the windows and bike shelter.
We wiped, scrubbed and rinsed until it was sparkling clean! We then swept up the debris and put it in the compost.
