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.

Tonight we had a lovely new task at a nursery school near Birmingham city centre.

Jonny and Christina arrived on their bikes, while the rest of the group ran or walked.

Laura, the school's headteacher greeted us and the task was to sand the greenhouse and the 'story book chair' before getting the Ronseal creasote out, hence the pun! Do you remember the advert?!

Christina did some weeding with a spactula which she mentioned was a first! Jonny, Miriam and Eve did some sanding, while James and Amy cresoted the greenhouse, with Miriam and Christina sorting the story book chair.

Now please take a look at those fantastic before and after pics :)

Two goodgymers made their own way to the Friends of the Earth warehouse in digbeth and helped Karen tidy up the front garden. We used shears and clippers to give the plants and trees a good haircut!

On a cold Spring night 6 GoodGymers set out in Stirchley to do a litter pick!

With no run on the agenda the exercise was to walk the streets and sweep up any litter.

Overall in 30 minutes we collected three bags of rubbish and earned a well deserved drink in the pub afterwards.

Special shout out to Richard for being Miriam for the day and bringing the litter pickers and hoops!!
