11 Goodgymers set off in the bright early spring sunshine, all talk of shirt sleeve weather, factor 50 moisturiser and Chris not even wearing a hat it was that warm, and headed off to St Werburghs to do good. We welcomed Madeline on her first ever GoodGym run and hopefully convinced her that all other running clubs pale in to comparison ( Maddy has already proven herself as an able arachnid analyser (see photo's, (warning, contains a photo of a spider!)). the raised bed/something or other (i didn't pay attention if it was actually named something?) needed to be dismantled, however, that was easier said than done, even with a spade and a 3 inch crow bar (maybe a Chaffinch bar?) we did manage to take one plank off, so it was a success really! A relay team of soil shifters and movers and some excellent weeders left the place looking great (when we turned our head torches off) and after the obligatory photo shoot ably managed by Alistair from St Werburghs, we headed back to Queens Square. thanks to Richard G for the pun and thanks to Darren for writing the run report as Mel was already asleep when he got back and he doesn't know what he's doing :-)
