We had plenty of laughs in the Park tonight, despite the fact it was raining. Thanks to Jane from the Friends of Greenhead Park for the task removing sticky willy and other unwanted weeds from one of the park's many flowerbeds.

Thanks also to tonight's team comprising Kati Law, Ben Godfrey, Wendy Redmile and Graham Browning.

We were painting the public conveniences at Greenhead Park last night. Along with Gill and Heather from Kirklees Council we got the paintbrushes out to make the toilets much prettier.

Thanks to the efforts of Kati Law, Wendy Redmile and myself, users of the park can now spend a penny in a more pleasant atmosphere without Kirklees Council having to spend any pennies on decorating.

As well as running tonight Kati Law and I spent a fun hour painting the railings outside Greenhead Park pavilion red. Thanks Jane Emery from the Friends of Greenhead Park for her assistance setting the task up.

Three GoodGymmers ran up hill from the stadium to Greenhead Park where we met up with Jane from Friends of Greenhead Park. We donned our rubber gloves and set to work cleaning the play train in the children's playground.

The fair was in town last night, or more accurately the fair was in Greenhead Park, and so was GoodGym. Whilst it didn't look like the fair was doing very much GoodGym certainly was, tasked with sweeping out the arbour, washing down various information boards around the park and litter picking for Friends of Greenhead Park.

It was nice to get some positive comments from other park users, who were clearly happy to see someone taking care of the space.

Well done and thanks to the fair ladies of Kati Law and Zena Whalley as well as fair gent Ben Godfrey.

The dip in the temperature this morning didn’t put off SallyAnn, Louise, David, Meg and as we met up with Paul from Friends of Greenhead Park to lend a hand getting the war memorial area of the park spruced up for Remembrance Day. In true GoodGym fashion we quickly got our brooms and headed across the park. Louise and SallyAnn tackled one set of steps, and while David, Meg, Paul and I swept the other. A special shout out goes to SallyAnn and Meg who had already volunteered at parkrun this morning. The conversation started with running injuries, which soon paled into insignificance as we remembered Huddersfield’s war dead, especially those who died in Afghanistan earlier this decade. After about an hour the steps were clear of fallen foliage and were much safer for our war veterans to walk up and down. Well done to Louise who completed her FIFTIETH good deed today and thank you to Paul for financing the hot drinks afterwards. We all owe you a coffee now!
