Tonight, 11 GoodGymers celebrated the return of the lighter evenings! It's felt like a long winter, so spirits were high tonight.

We headed up to Stainbeck United Reformed Church to clear an area of brambles by the car park. We pruned, trimmed, brushed, litter picked & filled 3 huge sacks of debris. We could notice a huge difference when we left, well done team!

Helen took us on a magical mystery tour on the run back to Heart, encountering a bomb shelter & two horses who didn't bat an eyelid as we ran through their field. We must have made friends since last time!

Welcome to David who joined us this evening and Lyn who organised the session.

Great work team!

Tonight, 11 GoodGymers headed down to support the Ash Road Residents Association & the great work that they do in their local area. We split into two groups, one group headed to the little garden besides the wood where we planted bulbs last year. The garden was somewhat winterfied (yes, I made up a word!) so we cleared all the leaves & dug around the borders to tidy it all up ready for spring. The second group headed to the planters to sand them down ready for painting, which we'll do when the nights get lighter.
Well done all, it was a good team effort before our run back to Heart.

Tonight 9 GoodGymers met at Heart & got to work cleaning the nursery space. We're a dab hand at this now, so we got finished quickly & headed out into the rainy night to do a local litter pick filling nine bags! After this, Helen took us on a 3.5K run where we stopped to admire the star constellations which are due to align on Friday. Fingers crossed for a clear night!

Welcome to newcomer Kimberley & well done on your first run. Welcome back to Lloyd & Brandon. We hope to see you all again soon.
