Last night we had 14 GoodGymers all set for action. We managed to just dodge the downpour and half of us tackled a sweaty run over to the allotments on what ended up being a very warm evening. Turns out I totally underestimated the distance but everyone smashed it.

When the runners arrived, the early birds (who had made there own way there) were already in full swing with Nigel, Graeme, Chris, Claire and James moving bark chippings with wheelbarrows, Jackie on the spreading and Sharon and Steve weeding around the mud kitchen area.

The runners joined in with Chloe, Georgia, Vani and Laura jumping right into the weeding and Dale on bush trimming duties. Before we knew it the communal area was prepped with bark chippings, the beds clear from weeds and the hedge looking neat, all set for their allotment BBQ next week.

With the runners needing to hit the road again we capped it off with a group snap (not snack - ha!) and made our way back to base. A few stayed longer to wrap things up with James and Steve dedicated to completing the brick base for the wormery before the clock ran out.

Fantastic work everyone, Gareth has messaged me this morning to thank you all lots and to say how great you have left the allotments looking. Nice one!

Next week we are gearing up for a rounders game! It might have been a while since some of you played but it should be a great opportunity to stay active and have a great time together (and this time i will be bringing snacks!). If you are not up for playing you can always come for the social, have a chat, help set up and maybe keep score? Hope to see you all there!
