5 Goodgymers headed over to the Charity "Missing people", the only UK charity dedicated to supporting missing children and adults, and their loved ones. Packing goodie bags for an event they had planned was the mission. We quickly blitzed through this churning out 118 bags of good things before heading back out into the sunshine for a nice walk back to Richmond. Good to see Steph, and Nina back in the task groove. A fun task !

A night of rolling out the wheelbarrows at Petersham and Ham Sea Scouts. A peaceful jog along the riverside under a starry sky led us to the scout base where task owner Russell was ready with shovels, barrows and bags for one group to shovel soil that had collected on the driveway and bag it up to use elsewhere at the site, while another pair lifted and shifted some heavy concrete posts from one spot to another! Sea Scouts always means a good workout of some nature and tonight was no exception!

We are back there later this month to help further with outdoor tasks.

Is it too early to get excited for spring? At this task we got very excited when the fog lifted and we were enjoying blue skies with beautiful sunshine. At St Christopher’s, we were clearing an area of weeds and cutting back shrubs and trees. Closer to spring time, St Christopher’s will be planting new plants and vegetables. We enjoyed spending time here and then went off to get a coffee in Marble Hill Park.

A warm welcome to Honor this evening who joined us for the first time to run from the Tap in Richmond out to Petersham Common. There task owner and member, Ken, met us to explain the tasks needed to work on the last section of traditional hedgerow down Star & Garter hill that we started last winter. This included fence post carrying, fence post bashing and binding between posts, hawthorn planting and some surrounding litter picking. The team set straight to work including another first time GoodGymmer, Emily 😍

When it came to the time to run back, Ken plied us with fortifying chocolates as the group headed back up to Richmond High Street for a well-deserved rest and warm up!
