It was time for our quarterly visit to Eaton Park. This week we had a few cleaning tasks to do.
1) there was an old disused hut that needs to be brushed down and cleaned ready to be used as a cafe/coffee point in the summer 2) cleaning the benches around the mini railway line 3) cleaning some benches and welcome signs towards the play area
A big welcome to Maisie on her 1st GoodGym run.
Congratulations to Brad on completing his 25th good deed
After a warm-up (which was gate crashed by a member of the public - but to be fair she did some decent squats, same can't be said about her running haha), we embarked on the 3km trip to Eaton Park and thank you to Helen for being back runner.
The different tasks were then explained and the team split into groups, got themselves some gloves, buckets of warm water and clothes then headed across the park to crack on with making it look sparkling and appealing to users.
We won't mention when I tried to take a photo of the bench cleaning, that I didn't notice the slope and took a little tumble down it... shhh.
On arrival back at The Forum we sang happy birthday to Helen for Saturday and Catherine brought her older sister a cake... as well as goodies Helen brought so it was a win win situation at the end of the night!
Next week we're visiting Hayden Court.
