3 goodgymmers helped out at junior parkrun - checking courses and marshalling

On a wet morning it's a warm welcome to the the 100 parkrun volunteering club to Abul who was at Abbeypark with Martin. We had Jimmy at Braunstone and Katy at watermead well done everyone 👏

A cracking GoodGym session as Goodgym teamed up once again with the brilliant Canal & River Trust to give the towpath some much needed attention.

The task: To clear a stretch of vegetation that had started creeping across the path. The team absolutely delivered, together they tackled around 100 metres of overgrowth, restoring the towpath to its full width and making it safer and more welcoming for everyone using the canal.

Of course, no GoodGym outing is complete without a bit of litter picking. Among the usual cans and wrappers the team found some more unusual treats a full, unopened can of Bud, a coat, and even a crop top. The canal always keeps us guessing!

The standout moment of the day belonged to Srini, who “tightened” his life jacket… by accidentally pulling the emergency cord and inflating! Atleast we know they are in working order haha.

It was fantastic to welcome three of our newest members, Gillian, Rich, and Srini. They jumped right in and were brilliant additions to the team. Shout out to taskforce member Jen and the Canal and River Trust, one of the groups favourite tasks, see you next time on the towpath!
