Wood-chip believe it, weed-did it!
7 GoodGymers made their way to help the Sandown Allotment Association in Newcastle.
- Saturday, 3rd of August 2024
- Led by Paul Andrews
We spent a gloriously sunny morning getting stuck in to help Sandown Allotments with their car park transformation. Lots of muscle was required for the jobs today that included weeding, wheelbarrowing, removing weeds from tarmac and spreading woodchip. Phew! Paul, Damu and I were fresh from Windy Nook parkrun where Paul took an impressive first place while Lucy and Catriona had been to Saltwell park on the way too so we were definitely suitably warmed up for this workout.
It was fab to have a large group out helping for this one including new (to us!) member Catriona we loved having you as part of the family today! We had a number of people from the allotment express their gratitude for our help with the transformation, and got bonus points for helping to return the equipment and crack the code of a very stubborn lock.
All in a day's work!
