Rolling into the New Year with double digits and making a sizeable impact at one of our local community partners, I ask you - what's not to like?

The group caught up at base and had the pleasure of meeting and welcoming new member, Ian. Hopefully a good experience for him - and the first of many for our man from Sheff. The RWQ was "highlight and or lowlight of your festive period?" Christmas dinner, persuading a whole family to do a parkrun, hosting NINE people, spending time with family, walking up a big hill and dinosaur lego were some of the positives. Illness, train delays and making a million teas were the downsides.

Xuan welcomed us at Abbey Gardens, having been there since 9am, that's a proper shift. Creating a wildflower meadow and weeding the 'gabion' stones were on the agenda. Much digging later at the bee enclosure, the little life-givers were buzzing away in hibernation, we'd filled about half of a rather huge meadow section. The weeding team seemed to fill up a load of buckets, a good spread of work done I'd say. And importantly, we finished with cake, thanks to Boxing Day Birthday girl, Rosie. Jaffa Cakes are never a bad way to conclude an evening's work.

Next week Up Garden awaits, along with Suzie's infamous to-do list, be ready! Sign up here - let's keep the momentum rolling through January guys. There's also the January Challenge (do as many deeds as we can in Jan) to keep us on it, let's compete with the other GoodGym areas through Group Run attendance and the load of incoming community missions (mostly Saturday).

Good to see you all, and Happy New Year again.

Till next week,

B
