Just the two of us this evening (Rachel and Leah) but I think you'll agree we got plenty done!

We were back with our old friends at Russell Youth Club, but this time decided to tackle a patch of overgrown prickly weeds at the front of the building rather than the side alley.

We got a big spotlight out to help as the light faded (a reminder to everyone to bring headtorches to upcoming outdoor tasks over the darker months) and pulled out five full bags of weeds over the hour we spent there.

Four hardy Goodgymers jogged, walked and (might as well have) kayaked their way to the Russel Youth Club. On what, you may have gathered, was a wet night Peter, Lucy, Fran and Nancy went straight to work cutting back overgrown plants at the side of the Youth Club. It was great to see the difference we’ve made in the two visits and it should really benefit all who use this Youth Club

Between the showers 7 of Nottingham's finest put on their gardening gloves, rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into the the overgrown weeds around the Russell Youth Club. With plenty to go at Alison, Janine and Peter tackled the front of the building while first timers Jules, Deena and Diane joined Rachel hacking their way down the side of the building, Indiana Jones style. No Cinnabar Moth caterpillars were harmed during the whirlwind of Goodgymers armed with secateurs and shears filling green bags aplenty. Alarmingly though, Peter managed to set off the burglar alarm whilst locking away the tools but alls well that ends well and the task owner came out to reset and got an unexpected sneak preview of our efforts
