Tonight 4 GoodGymers got doing some tree clipping and carrying bags back to the other side of the Jewellery Quarter cemetry.
James and Jonny got clipping, with being the tallest. The idea being to clip the trees back enough so to clear the path for people to walk past, hence a barber's favourite a short, back and sides!
Eve and Sofeen bagged up the branches before taking them to be composted.
After we were done James and Jonny headed for a 3k run, whilst our walkers headed back with Josie, Eve looking after her legs after going 'hell for leather' at a cycling time trial last night!
Thanks to those who came along we'll be back helping out Josie next month :)

Tonight we were joined by Jo and the team from Avanade as our task was to move some composters from a pub down to one of the Jewellery Quarter's grave yards.
You can see from the pictures this was no easy task as the alleyway we had to get it through was quite tight to say the least!
We got one composter down, then the idea was to wrap it with some plastickie stuff, but unfortunately somebody hadn't filled the staple gun so we had no staples!
Oh well, that meant we could go and move another composter instead, so still a good job done! So in the end that was the job wrapped up! Just not quite the way we expected!

I couldn't think of a pun but loving the term "Spooky GoodGym" so that's what it had to be!
We met up at 1000 Trades and walked down to the cemetery for their spooky Halloween event. Gabriel was walking so we left him to a spooky tour of the catecombs while James, Eve and myself headed out on a 4km run round town.
When we got back it was time to help put away tables, lights and gazebos. It was great there was 4 of us as we were able to take a corner each, and with team work put them away quickly before helping to carry them back to the JQ bid office.
A great task! Next year we should carve our own GG pumpkin!

Tonight was are last Jewellery Quarter Cemetery evening task before the night's get too dark!
The task was to chop some trees back, it was a little of a race against time as the darkness came in! We managed a really good job though cutting all the trees back by 7pm, using the last of the light, so it was a good job done! Even if my photos wern't the best i've ever taken!
After the task Jonny and Rachel took in a just over 4k run around the Jewellery Quarter.

Tonight we had a good group of 6 of us to help out at the Jewellery Quarter Cemetery, well 7 actually as the main man was Luca the dog!
We got to work clearing all the leaves from the big main path, using our 'jazz hands' while Luca pottered around sniffing out some more leafs for us!
We managed to fill 8 massive bags of leafs, a sterling effort!
Once done, Jonny, Amy and James went for a 3k run, taking in some of the canal, while Amy, Eve, John and Luca took the equipment back to the Print Works, before we all met back at 1000 Trades were Luca had a well deserved giant bowl of water! Woof!
