Andy face-planting Sallyann
7 GoodGymers made their way 3.2km to help the Hearing Help Essex in Chelmsford.

We all welcomed Elliott for his first GoodGym session, and also had the exciting news of Richard E getting a ballot place for the 2025 London Marathon, and Andy's perfect parkrun heel click at the weekend.
Thankfully on such a warm evening our task was only around a mile away, so we took the most direct route and were shown to our task of clearing a couple of large beds ready for some new plants.
I did mention in the briefing at the start that everyone should try to avoid hitting each other with tools and vegetation, but Andy clearly took no notice and channeled his inner David, throwing plants at the waste bags with such force that he nearly took Sallyann out. Angela also made a cameo appearance on her way elsewhere, clearing a few plants and posing for a photo.
In usual GoodGym style, the group made light work of the task, turning the beds from overgrown to completely bare, and filling three big bags with plants.
We'll be back at Meadow View Cottage in August, helping to get everything ready for their open day.
See you all soon!

Thank you for the welcome! Had a good time, although my back may have said something different the next day! See you all soon. Thanks Elliott
