Today 4 GoodGymer's bravely turned up on a wet and rainy Saturday morning during Storm Claudia. The Friends of Waterloo park volunteers wanted to take advantage of the extreme weather to allow the mulch to be most affective, and they needed Goodgym’s help to achieve this.

Goodgymer’s Katy, Jonathan, Elizabeth and Sarah got to work and distributed mulch across the many flower beds. Elizabeth and Sarah were also helping transport the many mulch bags via wheelbarrow from across the park to where the beds were located.

Despite the wet weather the task was completed in good time. A few underestimated the weather and regretted not bringing gloves and raincoats but it was worth it in the end!

Today 6 GoodGymer's ran or cycled to Greenfields Community Centre, close to Catton Park.

A few of us either ran or marshaled at Catton Parkrun before heading to the task.

The venue is surrounded by trees so the building's perimeter was completely covered in leaves. Armed with tools borrowed from Catton Grove (another regular GoodGym task) we got to work sweeping leaves & cutting back weeds.

After 1 hour we had filled up a whopping 27 bags of leaves!.

Woody also used his employment skills to lay out a mesh mat, essentially a black carpet, over the area we can cleared.

Shout Out to joining us for her first session! Well done team.
