Well done to the GoodGymers who helped cut and clear back at Catton Grove Community Centre.

We welcomed Grant to his first GoodGym deed and what a great one to pick as your first.

We met Will, the Mousehold Warden, who then took us well into the depths of Mousehold Heath (I'm glad he was there as I would have got everyone lost otherwise!).

There were 3x tasks for the team to get stuck into this evening.

1) Pop and Pull out self seeded birch trees (which will be replanted in more appropriate areas of the heath). 2) Remove some cut back gauze bushes (this is where the gauntlet gloves were very much needed). 3) Pull up some early growing bracken.

It was a very sociable evening with a great turn out of people.

This evening we visited the tranquil Bowthorpe Community Gardens, on the warmest and sunniest evening of the year so far. It felt more like July than April.

Elizabeth T was joining us on her first led session, after making her debut on a community mission at the weekend.

We had a few tasks lined up. Elizabeth H and Woody were giving the benches a good scrub and clean. Sarah & Jenny were weeding the gravel areas. Elizabeth T and Stephen were doing some painting, while I was doing some watering.

It was a lovely bright and calm evening, we all had a great time.

Tonight was all about Alina, who was completing her 100th deed with GoodGym, what an achievement! Congratulations Alina.

The task tonight was our first ever visit to Magdalen Medical Practice, to give their garden a good clear over.

As you can see from the photos, the team of GoodGymers had to work had and did a grand job.
