First of all, CONGRATULATIONS TO JUDY, who completed her 800th Good Deed this evening! What an outstanding achievement!

After some celebratory Jelly Babies (and ice-creams for those lacking in willpower), the runners completed the 2km Run Walk Local route before joining in with the litter pick.

Paddleboard UK had provided us with some new folding litter pickers and some super-strong rubbish sacks, so we got stuck in with cleaning the water ways of Hilsea Moat.

Only Jen was brave enough to de-shoe and paddle out to retrieve some litter, whilst others channeled their inner gymnast to balance, bend and extend to reach the discarded plastic bottles and cans. Thanks to Val and Andy for providing a Generation Game-esque relay handover from the banks to the Moat!

We pulled out a pair of socks, a rugby ball and a bike saddle, complete with post, as some of our more intriguing finds.

The ducks and swans seemed very satisfied when they returned to their freshly cleaned homes - great job everyone!

Dave and I visited the Bridge Centre to check on the new flowerbeds we helped to plant back in February.

Our friends from Make have been keeping on top of the watering, so a little weeding and litter picking was all that was needed.

Standard mini-booze bottle found by Dave - this seems to be a popular community garden find!

The rain couldn't quite hold off for tonight's Group Run, but our intrepid crew battled the elements and the weeds regardless.

Laura joined us for her first Group Run and got well stuck in the weeding the flower beds alongside Andy and Lucy. The rest of the team took on the jungle ahead of the back wall, filling an entire large garden waste bin and five bin bags! We finished up by spreading some wood chip to help stop some of the weeds coming back.

We made such a massive difference in a short space of time - well done everyone! A rainbow even made an appearance to send us on our way.
