This week 4 GoodGymers were back in the Newtown area, assisting in the prep of a new mural wall.

After a short run, thankfully dodging the rain, we set to task in wire-brushing the old mural that had been there since 1975.

We were joined by painter Pete, who we've supported for a few years at various tasks, Pat from the Secret Garden and Loop who owns the wall - we all joined in and worked together, having a good chat and a cuppa as we worked. Pete was kind to write the group a poem, and Pat brought belated Christmas celebrations, a fun night had by all for sure.

We also had a GoodGym tourist with us, a massive thank you to Jack, joining us from our central team in London!

A final thrill for us this evening, we had an ITV reporter with us at the session - filming and interviewing for a national news piece on GoodGym due to be coming out soon! Big thanks to Lucy R and Jack for doing the interviews!
