Our intrepid GoodGymers met at Papa's and were presented with a challenge to start our evening - could anyone help our friends who use Papa's Hall to open the door using the dodgy keys we had? I'll spare you the suspense - no we couldn't! The combined skill and brainpower of a medical professional, a tech titan and an Area Activator failed miserably, but in our defense on that set of keys it has been thus for years......

Never mind we had work to do so Katie, Dan and Yianny set off for a 3km run out to the wonderful Holy Trinity Church and we were able despite the dark to take a tour through Brockwell Park - a lovely twilight run - on our way as we look forward to the lengthening Spring evenings.

On arrival we were met by Paul and Ben and shortly afterwards Michael arrived having completed his longer run to the task as part of his marathon training.

We had two main tasks set out by Nicole: - Trim and collect the bushes and put into compost bags - Shovel woodchip into barrows and wheel up to be spread on the back garden area.

As ever a very satisfying task made all the better by the lovely surroundings (check out some cool photos from Katie and Ben) and great company (Robocop chat and 1980s VHS reminiscences!) and by the end of the hour we had made a significant dent in the work. As always there is plenty of maintenance so we will be back next month but for this session we were done and ready to head back.

A quick sweetie distribution for energy and we set off back to base or home and big thank you to all the team for another excellent task.

See you next time! :0)
