Ivy Pulled!
12 GoodGymers made their way 3.0km to help the Hanover & Elm Grove Ward in Brighton.
- Tuesday, 28th of May 2019
- Led by Tara Shanahan
Twelve of us met up on another fine evening and headed towards Hanover and Elm Grove to meet the newly re-elected Councillor David Gibson.
Our destination was Barclay House where David met us along with some of the local residents.
As usual David had a myriad of tasks set up for us and while a core group of us stayed there,a selection of sub groups went off to various locations to do other work.
Paul and Madeleine embarked on painting over some pesky tagging, Michael and Rosemary hit May Road and weeded away while Amro and Juliet arrived at Seville Road and cleared ivy.
Back at base the rest of us cleared beds of ivy and weeds and lopped off branches and tangled roots while the local residents gave us plenty of encouragement and enquired about car boot sales!!!
Once finished we jogged to the Level and ran level laps...precisely 800m. Hard work but good training.
We then went back during which time Tara told us she'd beaten the course record for the Seaford park run the previous Saturday. Well done Tara!!!
