On another frosty Monday our merry band of three Goodgymmers headed out to the high st for another task. We welcomed our debut Goodgymmer Rowan, before a little mix up about where to meet Pam and get started. We will blame the autocorrect.

Our team of 4 made light work in clearing the litter, weeds and much hyped seed heads, enjoying the stroll and taking in the seasonal lights. In not much time the boxes were all looking nicer and the cold had set in, so we parted to head home with a job well done.

Join us for one of our remaining tasks of the year, which is imminently winding down..

Freeing the trees from the confines of their plastic sleeves!

Spent another hour at the tree sleeves removal task. Plenty more to go!

It was the Wednesday. It was cold. Against such challenges 2 brave Goodgymmers marched the streets to deliver a medley of Christmas promotions to some cosy looking homes and help promote some local charities. And then, not much sooner than we'd started, the piles dwindled and our job complete, we parted ways to complete the evening, a job well done and a busy week in Colchester. Join us next week for something else maybe.

A chilly but dry evening enjoyably spent clearing lots of leaves and scrubbing away moss at Plum Hall, Colchester Borough Homes. Autumn has truly arrived! We helped make the paths and pavement accessible and hopefully prevented them becoming slippery in the rain. Topics of conversation included how not to include a leaf pun in the run report title and philosophical bedtime stories for children!

Two goodgymers walked 4 miles to join a group of like minded individuals keen to continue the task of freeing the trees. We removed and gathered 11 bags of plastic sleeves, and a big pile of wooden poles for collection. It was a real workout!
