Are you feeling single, lonely and a little miserable on Valentine's day? Then why not feel just single and a lot less miserable and come to GoodGym!
Roses are Red Violets are Blue On Valentine's day, Brighton Goodgym did a good deed What did you do?
Now to the serious bit, 9 of us decided that today is the celebration of Love...love to our community!
So we showed up at Palmeira Square (the floral clock) and were greeted by Stuart from the Palmeira and Adelaide Garden Fun . We started the task of swiping leaves and getting the square ready for spring time. In less than an hour, we managed to swipe, clean and collect more than 12 full bags of leaves and twigs. And that is the GOOD part.
After finishing the task, Helena led a great fitness session that managed to burn around 300 calories from each participant! That is the GYM part in GOODGYM if you were ever wondering.
The ever-so-diligent Brighton's Goodgym Social Secretary, the one and only Michelle, booked us a table at The Brunswick Pub to continue celebrating our love to our community...with a pint ! What a great evening for all :)

Happy Valentine's Everyone <3
Palmeria and Adelaide Garden Fund is a Community Intrest Company created in 2019 and established in 2020 as Palmeira and Adelaide Garden Group CIC. We started off as two concerned garden-loving local residents, and in just two years, our board is now nine-strong. We are a small group of dedicated residents who live in and around Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent with significant volunteer support. We started to raise funds to help with the maintenance of our green spaces and bring the community together through regular cleanups, gardening and events.
