Tables, chairs and everything all tidied away :)

Four intrepid GG Yorkies arrived at the unassuming Fulford Social Hall to be pleasantly surprised by it's lovely interior - vaulted ceilings, arches and a large round window. However as we reached the kitchen at the back we looked out into what should be a courtyard to find what can only be described as something of a jungle! There were only a couple of metres of space into the courtyard and the vegetation was completely covering the kitchen window. We got to work, along with Juliet, one of the parish councillors and Andrew, one of her volunteers. Juliet was in the kitchen feeding the chipper and Elle and Penny were prepping the branches to pass to her and separating out the green leaves and flowers. Outside Andrew managed to cut his way along the back wall and sawed several large buddleia branches down to create some space and let the light into the window. I was cutting down some of the smaller branches whilst Lionel was trimming them down and separating out any pieces too thick for the chipper. After an hour's hard work (and a visit from a very inquisitive robin), we had cleared a significant area of the courtyard and allowed the light to come in once more through the window.

Another bumper turnout tonight to help rake grass at Millennium fields.

We started by naming and numbering off, welcoming new members back again, and saying a big warm welcome to Lionel who has returned after a break.

Mitch led the group out with Abigail, James and Abi leading a walking group.

When we arrived we were given several jobs - rake up the grass, pile it into bags or onto tarps, drag to the compost and make some sort of compost/grass lasagne. A select few also had a go at sything!

We managed to clear all the grass in the time and finished off with a quick game of whistleblower.

It was then back to base when a group then headed off for some well earned liquid refreshment!

Three goodgymers made light work of the chairs and tables at Planet Food!

Playing it cool this week!

The summer holiday clothes swap meant an incredible amount of clothing to put out and a special rail of holiday clothes for people to choose from.

Lots of fun and lots of customers 😁

Everything all tidy and put away ;)
