After the biggest weekend in Brighton’s running calendar the big news tonight was all about the fantastic achievements of our regular runners in the Brighton marathon. Massive congratulations to Sherman who not only finished the marathon on Sunday he made it to our group run just 2 days later! And also congratulations to Worthing & Brighton regular Beth who finished in a cracking time of 3.55 on her first attempt!

Thanks to a break in Brighton’s darts league we welcomed back Sean for the second time and Ashley for his first. Big kudos to Ashley for completing the distance and for keeping smiling throughout! We hope to see you both again soon.

Tonight’s task was back to the somewhat overgrown area at the front of the almshouses we visited a few weeks ago. Although we’d picked up masses of bottles and beer cans on our previous visit there were plenty more that had either been added or were just buried deep under the undergrowth. The vegetation has clearly been providing cover for some nefarious activities judging by the litter we uncovered! Let’s just say I’ll be putting all those gloves through on a hot wash!

After much litter picking and some hard pruning the area looked loads better and much more light and open which will hopefully discourage those nefarious activities and make it more pleasant for the residents of the almshouses.

We headed to the Level for a quick game of team tic-tac-toe aka noughts and crosses, which was nail biting stuff being so close between the reds and greens with finally the winning team being….I’ve forgotten already!!

Great work tonight guys, I know it wasn’t the most pleasant of tasks but we have hopefully shed a little light onto a shady spot and the world is ever so slightly better than it was before!

See you next week for another go at those railings!
