Eleanor and Daryl the legends met for the group run and Katie and Caprice made their own way to the session. Katie still recovering from a car accident and Caprice just a snotty mess. Hopefully it won't be long until they are back in action! They were met by caretaker Neil who showed them an area at the back of the school where he had already been cutting back an apple tree. The mission was to clear a large vegetable patch so that the children could get to work prepping a new vegetable patch. Firstly the guys got to work pulling out the weeds then armed with spades and forks they turned the soil. It didn't take long to complete the mission. Neil was grateful for their assistance and I'm sure it won't be long before GoodGym can help him again. The evenings are now getting darker so dust off those head-torches and reflective running gear! See you at the next session!

Today's mission was to help paint a playground wall ready for a new mural. The rain clouds couldn't deter these GoodGymers from their Misson to help Neil at Bishop's Aldhelm's School. Daryl got to work cutting back the hedge, Hannah sweeping up the mess and Caprice helped Neil brush the wall ready for the first coat of paint. Once the wall was prepped, everyone got to work painting and it didn't take long until the wall was covered. A very grateful Neil thanked the gang and they then headed home. I'm sure that GoodGym will be back to help him with some other projects so watch this space.
