Painting the wall white, Sheffield Style
8 GoodGymers made their way 3km to help the Sharrow Community Forum in Sheffield.
- Saturday, 13th of May 2017
8 excited York GoodGymers set off early this morning on an adventure to Sheffield. Our first challenge was Sheffield Hallam parkrun at Endcliffe Park. There we met up with Susan, Sam and Sam's number one fan William, our Sheffield GoodGym cousins. We all finished in respectable times, considering there were 737 runners all squished into such a tiny space!!
Next we checked out the outdoor gym equipment in the park, where Egg gave us all a lesson in how to learn to do pull ups. William (age 2), was clearly the best at this!!
Breakfast was now top of everyone's agenda. Sam recommended Made by Jonty, where we all had huge platefuls to set us up for the mission ahead.
The mission was at Sharrow Community Forum. We readily accepted this task as sadly none of the Sheffield GG'ers were free. They had two raised beds that needed weeding, clearing of cigarette ends, and topping up with fresh compost for planting new flowers and veg in the near future. We also set about painting the walls of the courtyard a bright shade of white, a challenge we embraced heartily with paint brushes in hand, and Alex up a ladder to reach the top. Mel even managed to paint herself, head to toe!
We all really enjoyed our day out being GoodGym tourists and spreading the GoodGym love.
