Tonight we were back at the Friends of the Earth.

We welcomed Marcella to GoodGym for the first time, it was great to have you with us :)

Morwenna, Eve, Jonny and James ran 2k to the task and met our walking group of Miriam, Marcella and Gabriel.

As ever we were also greeted by Marcel the dog, generally an ever present at the Friends of the Earth tasks.

We got to work bagging up cans to be recycled, composting and inside Miriam, Marcella and Gabriel did some paper shredding and cleaning some buckets.

Eve and James stirred in some shredded paper into the compost certainly a 'good good gym workout' see what I did there?!

Once done we had a quick picture with Marcel the dog and headed on our way.

Tonight, Jonny and Gabriel helped out at The Friends of the Earth.

The task was to water the plants, measure some items, take pictures of them and then email them to task owner Karen.

Jonny did the plant watering around the building using 6 full watering cans and Gabriel did a great job of measuring up and taking photos.

We even had time to squeeze in another quick job. Yep we took aload of batteries off charge and boxed them up before replacing them with some dead batteries to power them up!

Once done, Jonny ran home and Gabriel walked back to the JQ :)

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 we had Gabriel joining us for the first time. It was lovely to have him with us.

Miriam being the walk leader, took our litter pickers to the canal and we got picking! We found a train ticket early doors, which was going to be part of our pun, but then found something more interesting.....yes a rather large Crayfish on the towpath. After deciding to leave it alone rather than put it back in the water, we carried on with the litter pick.

Once done after a few selfies, Miriam and Eve took our litter pickers back whilst Jonny, Gabriel and Morwenna did a 5k run taking in Brindley Place, The Mail Box, New Street Station, Colmore Row and back to 1000 Trades.
