Southampton

Community mission

Two ladies went to clear, went to clear the cuttings!

2 GoodGymers made their way to help the The Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery (FoSOC) in Southampton.

Saturday, 6th of July 2024
 
Led by Wilson

Judy Knapp and Stephanie Longy went to join the monthly session with Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery. We were set to work with pitchforks and rakes to clear up all the piles of cutting left by the cutting team. A great all body workout filling lots of large sacks all in the company of the local Robin and other very friendly volunteers. Luckily the beautiful mature trees sheltered us during a sharp shower. Then sun came out again to prove that it is July and supposed to be summer. We were made very welcome by the FOSOC team with tea/ coffee and biscuits afterwards in the old chapel. We hope to be back again in August to help out on their next session. A great two hours in a beautiful location.
