A "St Mary" little run to the church and back
10 GoodGymers made their way 6.4km to help the St Mary's Church - Broomfield, Chelmsford in Chelmsford.
- Wednesday, 24th of April 2024
- Led by Rich Walker
On a cool evening 6 of us met outside the Old Factory Gym and set off towards St Mary's church in Broomfield.
Tonights task was to help them with some gardening and clearing some paving and walls.
Running at prime chatting pace we were soon there and met by Fay, David, Laurie and Sallyann already hard at work.
Martin, Ben and Joe quickly got to work raking and turning the soil by the church while Erin and Andy joined David scrubbing weeds and soil off the boundary wall. Although Erin got a great bit of 'mansplaining' of how she should being doing it by a passerby, lol. This was quickly put to rest by the fabulous group of gardening volunteers asking that we don't do as the passerby had said. (double lol)
With things packed away we were invited inside for drink and biscuits ( thank you ), then the runners were off back to base, and again at prime chatty pace we were soon back.
Well done all and hope to see you next week for some leafleting
Run Happy
