Led by Bournemouth runner

Four Goodgymmers, Sue, Janet, Lea and Keith as well as non-Goodgymmer Roger, turned up at Bearwood Primary school to help in clearing an area of disused fencing/gates/branches to a skip. With it being a fire hazard, it needed to be moved. First we moved fences and gates away, as well as lots of posts and bits of wood. Then the fun started: we got to dismantle the gates and fences, yay!!! Hammer and mallet came out, as well as the electric screwdriver and hey presto: no fences or gates left, just a skip full of wood! David, the caretaker, was very grateful. A contractor would have cost the earth, now that money can be spent on new lighting in parts of the school. Thank you everyone for all your effort!

I must add that Sue and Janet ripped apart a strong fence in minutes. They had clearly perfected the best method.
