A Group of Goodgym members dodged the stormy weather on a bank holiday Monday and had Allot(ment) of fun digging out an overgrown allotment for Tang Hall school. On an evening which was surrounded by danger of possible thunderstorms and midges in the air our goodgym team brave and strong made light work of an overgrown nettle and bramble infested allotment, clearing the way for a future haven of nature at Tang Hall school.

Witnessing Jamie deservedly win April Goodgymmer of the month award and after completing the task being subjected to a beasting by Vicky similar to SAS who dares wins, our team battled through and left feeling fitter and with a sense of pride in the work they'd achieved on what had been a beautiful sunny day up to about an hour before the goodgym task!

I'm sure we'll all sleep well tonight and wake a little fitter in the morning.

Tonight we returned to the cemetery for more bramble clearing.

We named and numbered off stating some pointless things we get asked to do at work as a nod to health and safety day. These included cleaning pigeon poo and management appreciation days! We also welcomed back Ellie and celebrated some excellent weekend running with Rich and Michal completing the 3 Peaks and Deb's parkrun PB.

We then set off with Lucy and Abigail back marking to meet Clive at the cemetery. After the midge swarm last time, Michael wore enough insect repellent to keep the entire group safe (and anyone else within a mile radius!). We therefore had a clear run of pruning, lopping and digging. Barbara got so excited she snapped a fork!

To finish off we did some fitness relays whilst practising our hammering, then headed back to base. We stretched off then some headed to the pub.
