Janet,Caprice and Daryl meet at the Brewhouse and ran the 3.5K to the task through the Gardens which was really nice as it was a nice sunny evening .Once at the task we were meet by Neil its been a long while since we have been back at Bishop Aldhelms School,Neil tiold us where the others where so we walked round the school to the Reflection Garden where Chole and James where they were painting the wooden benches (James must like painting two days running hes had the paint brushes out).Paul was cutting back the over hanging branches, we were told what needed to be done so the three of us set to work and we soon had the garden looking ship shape again Neil was really pleased with the work we had done. We all said our good byes and headed off Caprice,Janet and Daryl ran back through the Gardens to the Triangle .Dont leave it so long Paul we miss you.Tell next time Daryl

Six Goodgymmers, Cora, Daryl, Sue, James, Keith and Lea, were all raring to have another go at painting the walls of TOSH. Cora had a list of task for us: screwing down loose plasterboards, filling holes and ridges and painting walls and (bits of) ceilings. James stuck to whitening the walls in the main room, Sue was happily whitening walls and ceilings in the ‘facilities’ 🙃, Keith happily filling lots of holes and Daryl was fighting with an old wall, where the paint came off quicker than he could put it on. But Daryl stuck to it and… he won 💪! The entrance hall wall looked welcomingly white at the end. And Lea, judging by the state of her hands, had a run in with white filler and black paint. Even her clothes confirmed this 🙈! The nicely screwed in white plasterboards got a total “revamp”, causing some “oh my”, “really?!”, “that looks awful”, “that’s not grey!” and “Yikes” comments…. But we all agreed that once the whole lot was done, it was actually looking pretty good!!! Nice choice, Cora!

Andy, a potential Goodgymmer, came to see what a Goodgym session is all about, and joined in quite happily. Hope to see you soon again, Andy.

Oh and not only the holes and ridges were filled: our stomachs were as well with all the delicious bites laid out for us during a coffee break.

Thank you everyone for your hard work.

This was mission #2 in helping Sendisass4bcp distribute their flyers to schools and GPs in the local area. Daryl, Eleanor, Chloe and Caprice didn't let the rain put them off. They met at King's Park and then hit the streets. This was an epic running mission where the GoodGymers ran a total of 10K whilst weaving through the streets of Pokesdown and Southbourne. They even managed to squeeze in a mini Graffiti tour finishing on the mighty Boscombe Owl 🦉 Once all the locations had been delivered to the group ran back to King's Park.

It was nice to meet Mrs Y she wanted a headboard attached to her bed and two vents cleaned. I started on the bed but her two cats took over as they are clearly better at this than me. I soon had the headboard attached and moved on to cleaning the vents in the bathroom and kitchen which were soon nice and clean again all this will make a big difference for MrsY she was so grateful.
