2 GoodGymers turned out on a lovely sunny morning for a spot of bramble clearing, brush moving and wooden arch destroying.
After a quick visit to say hello to the horses, Fay and Andy had a good old gossip while digging, then after a quick break for a cup of tea and a biscuit or two, got back to moving some brush. Then came the main event, ripping apart the wooden arch. It was no match for us and Andy did some great work sawing up the logs for ease of transport. Unfortunately we didn't get any action shots but it was good fun smashing it to bits!
The garden is nearly ready for the groundwork to be done for the wheelchair area so next time we go back we should be doing the pre-prep and planting. It's lovely to see the area taking shape. We can't wait to see it when it's finished.
Our next group run takes us to St John's Church Hall. You can sign up here
Happy GoodGyming!

HomeAbout UsCharitiesGallery & Club InfoCommunityCalendarContact Us Lions are: Ordinary people who belong to one of the world's largest service organisations, with 1.35 million volunteers worldwide active in 208 countries. People who give something back to their communities, who recognise the needs of others and set about meeting those needs. People who enjoy themselves and include fun in their caring attitudes People who give their time freely to help others in their local, national and international communities. Men and women of all ages, who enjoy helping and being part of their community, having fun and fostering friendship Lions clubs are divided into Districts, Regions and Zones (Chelmsford is in Zone B of Region 2 in District 105CE) and nationally (although individual clubs operate autonomously, with decisions voted upon by members of that club). The clubs are non-political and non-sectarian. Lions International was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1917 by insurance agent Melvin Jones and was dedicated to the idea that the men and women who live in a community are in the best position to know who needs help and why. Chelmsford Club was formed in 1969 and celebrates its anniversary or ‘Charter' in November. We always welcome new members to our active and friendly club. The aim of our club is to help local causes and community while having fun. As well as a wide social calendar we regularly help out at community events wherever there is a need for extra help (see Gallery pictures). We meet on the second Wednesday each month at our hall in Springfield Road and every fourth Wednesday for a social night (see Gallery pictures) to see just some of what we get up to). We always welcome new members to our friendly, active club. Check out the picture galleries via our social/charities pages to see what we get up to or click on the Facebook link.
