Wed 16th Dec 2020 - Shide Quarry, Newport. GG # 836.



Easy to spot where the team were working..!



A good turn-out for the last session of 2020.






 And so to the final GG session for 2020 - what a year it has been...! With as many virtual sessions as "real" ones, we have all had a steep learning curve as far as technology goes 😀. As nice as the Zoom sessions have been to enable us to stay in touch, there is no getting away from the fact that being outdoors doing something useful is a fundamental part of Green Gym. 

This week we continued last week's task, scrub clearance down in the chalk quarry at Shide. Due to the present Covid regulations, it was not possible to hold our traditional Xmas party but almost everyone brought along their own drinks and refreshments which were consumed whilst keeping socially distant. You can see from the photos above that it was a rather grey day, with little wind, hence the bonfire smoke lingering in the bowl of the quarry but there was still a good turn-out. Well done to all those who managed to attend.

Make sure that you look after yourselves over the upcoming holiday season and we  hope to see everyone back at Green Gym in 2021 (it just HAS to be better than 2020..!).

Hi Bob
Thank you for keeping your blog going, I look forward to seeing it every week and when it is a REAL GG session seeing what you are all doing and it brings back happy memories especially of the early GG sessions that June and I had back in early 2003. The very first one that we attended was at little Jane's quarry which was actually the second GG session - when we were 'young and fit'

All the best and carry on regardless

Happy Christmas and all the best for 2021.

Cheers

Colin
