Tackling a thorny issue
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the Woolwich Garrison Church Trust in Greenwich.

Saturday saw Good Gym back at the St Georges Garrison Church in Woolwich. The church was built in the mid 1800s for the Royal Artillery and has the distinction of having suffered bomb damage in both world wars.
Now much restored, the church's next project is the development of a Commonwealth and Gurkha garden and that's where Good Gym came in. Five of us arrived to meet organiser Tim who directed us to the mass of brambles at the back of the church. An hour or so's work later and another couple of square metres of brambles were chopped back and dug up to provide a bit more space for the new garden and then it was time for a well-earned cup of tea.
This is one of our favourite tasks and it's always a pleasure to help out at this wonderful place. Given the amount of brambles remaining I suspect we'll be back for more soon.
