Rose to the occasion
5 GoodGymers made their way 12.0km to help the Friends of Vale Park in Brighton.

On a hot September night, five of us ran, cycled or went by bus 6km to Vale park in Portslade to help with a new task of rescuing a rose bed from bind weed. Task owner Lucy from Friends of Vale park told us if it wasn’t weeded regularly the council had said they would remove the rose bed!
With the help of several enthusiastic children and their parents, we all got to work with clearing the bind weed or ‘strangle weed’ as one girl aptly named it! Several piles of bind weed were produced to reveal three beautiful yellow roses, and we hope many more to come.
The task was very rewarding followed by a pleasant cycle ride home along the seafront.
