Kate Baxter earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Kate completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Kate was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

Well, we could hardly have asked for better weather could we?
It was a pretty short run today to Dame Emily Park where we helping Urban Buzz with a variety of tasks around the park. Chris, David and Nick began with the removal of a large bush before moving on to reduce the amount of sage in one of the flowerbeds. Richard and Josh got to work on the compost whilst Dave and Russ took to raking the area. Everyone else began planting wildflowers around the area, making use of tiny tools (See pics!) and green fingers.
We made quick work of all the tasks that were planned for us and were able to enjoy a quick tea break. Perhaps the highlight was the fact that we were allowed to take home as much the Sage we cleared out as we wanted - it's not every week we get fresh herbs! Ursula was overjoyed with how much we had got done, we completed everything that needed doing - good work everyone!
And a big shout out toFrancis, Ani , Luci and Todd for attending their first task!

Welcome today to new runners Kate and Bella who accompanied us along the Malago Greenway to meet Martin and his MVCG companions down at the secret orchard.
Once there, they joined a group tasked with planting some wildflower bulbs being sure to distribute them in a 'casual just as nature might have done' manner.
Most others worked to cut back any new brambles and make sure they can't get re-established while Chris and Patrick did some excellent lumberjack work on a couple of unruly elders.
Great to be back in the orchard and looking forward to many more visits in 2019! Thanks to Dave for the pun.

"Unruly elders"? I would like to make it clear that no rambunctious octogenarians were harmed during this run :-)

Ha - possibly could have done with a capital E, but thanks for the clarification, Patrick!
