12 Goodgym "Guys" helped build a bonfire for a fireworks party at Interact

Welcome and Warm up! We really needed a warm up tonight so made it short and sweet after our meet and greet inside the Hub. A particularly warm welcome to Deb who was visiting from Goodgym Bristol. After our short and active warm up we set off down the river to Moulsham mill and the Interact Charity garden.

An Introduction before we Interact We had a brief introduction to Interact and their works from Susie before she outlined the task and we set to work.

Bonfire Building, Kind of. After placing some fence panels and pallets on the bonfire we moved lots of wood closer to the fire so it could be added later. Then after a large pile had been build we moved it all a bit further away again!

Who Drew the short straw? We also moved some straw away from the site as this was an obvious fire hazard!

We(ed) cleared more of the area too! The team were not done, but cleared a large area of weeds from close to the fire too. these will also be burnt on Friday.

Tea, Coffee and a scenic route. We were then given a warm drink before we set off on a slightly extended run home. we chatted whilst we stretched and a reminder the Goodgym Social will be on the 18th November at the riverside inn.

It was great to see such a big turn out despite the cold, we will have some indoor tasks soon, but next week we are at Our Lady Immaculate school for more digging and other tasks in their peace garden, where the school children can have a few moments of quiet. Sign up Here

see you next week!
