Thursday at 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Tonight we were delivering leaflets for Age Concern to help raise awareness and to also help get them get more donations.
We all (Didem, Adam, Jen, Bekah and Mandy) met at The Binoy for a lovely social walk in the sunshine โ๏ธ to the task โฆ yes we did say sunshine .. โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
We met task owner Rachel and viewed the handy work from our previous painting task in the entrance and collected the leaflets. We guessed we had about 350 to do so we got started. Making sure to stick to the area asked and not going to houses with a no junk mail notice.
We split up into teams but both had a sunny side of the street tonight โ๏ธ Careful not miss a door, get our hands stuck in the letter box, working out how to get in some wall mounted boxes and working our way along noting where we had been already. We did lose each other for a spell but a phone call gathered us back. Jen disappeared up what we thought was a short line of cottages and came back with hardly any leaflets left towards the end looking triumphant ๐คฃ
Bekah and Mandy were offered a cash job to deliver 1000 leaflets from a tree surgeon on the roadside but we declined ๐คฃ not even sure what the going rate was anyway ๐คฃ worth looking into though as a future career!
Then because Mandy had, had letter box /boxing on her mind all day she insisted on some post task air boxing. Mandy got the eye of the tiger tune on and we made a very feeble attempt at it but it was funny.
A quick curtsy and bow ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธand we made our way home.
Thank you as always for attending ๐๐ป

Tonight we were helping The Windsor Boysโ School Boat Club filling potholes along the track and cutting some plants back. The track is used to transport the rowing boats on trailers from their storage areas to the river and potholes can cause damage to the boats.
Bekah and Mandy ran to meet the walkers - Caroline, Didem and Sue at Sutherland Grange and Adam met us at the task.
Ryan our Cox for the evening was at the ready with spades, shovels, rakes, lots of rocks/gravel/stones and some gardening equipment.
Mandy put the noughties dance tunes on the radio . Adam took possession of the wheelbarrow. Sueโs eyes lit up when she heard the word pruning and she was happily lost in the jungle ๐ฟ for a majority of the session. The rest of the crew grabbed a spade and launched into hunting for holes ๐ณ๏ธ and fill with gravel. We made our way from the entrance up the track to the river. Each filled pothole needed stomping down and raking over to get a good level surface. There was a bit of shuttle walking/running going on as we had to get the gravel from the pile and take it to the holes. Lots of exercise for all the group tonight and a lovely view of the Thames and some rowers. Looking back at the completed track was hole- y ful- filling. We had to drag Sue away from the shrubs ( sheโs hardcore!) as it was time for our end of session curtsy.
On the way back we waved at a stranger ๐๐ป thinking it was Adam ๐คฃ the poor man though we were potty ๐
We said our goodbyes and made our way home.
Thank you all as always Windsor GGs ๐ โฅ๏ธ๐๐ป

Will reduce chances of trips and falls for the boys walking down towards the river. Will also reduce the chance of damaging the boats when on the trailer going in or out.

Tonight we were helping the Achieving for Children - Family Hub Service improve the aesthetics of their entrance way.
This was a community mission so we met at the The Binoy for a social walk with some tools and other items we needed for the task.
We were met by task owner Daniel and a Spanish Storm called Nelson! They both introduced themselves ๐คฃ Nelson was particularly forceful! ๐จ๐ฆ
We put on the 70s music to drown out the wind and have a sing/dance to as Jen, Didem, Devon, Sue and Mandy set about the weeding, ripping up the old weed-proof lining, removing leaves and litter.
Nearly lost the dust pan a few times in the air and everything was flapping about. But the we kept going in true GG spirit.
Once the main weeding was completed we did our very best to brush away the mud and debris but this was made difficult by the rain so we improvised with a bucket and old kettle to try and swilll some of the mud away. We also gave the inside a hoover at the end to get rid of any mud.
We then took the bags over to the bin area with Daniel.
Sadly it was too wet and windy for Easter games ๐ฐ๐ฃ( maybe next week?) or to paint the bench but we will try and go back for that another time. Sue will also go back and scatter some grass seed ๐ฑon the cultivated earth in the next few days ๐๐ปโฅ๏ธ when the wind has died down.
Thank you all as always for coming especially given the conditions ๐๐ปโฅ๏ธ
