April comes, and struggles to commit to Spring, as despite some sunny days recently the temperature has been a little on the chilly side.
In the sheltered courtyard of St John's Court however, we found ourselves in almost mild conditions as four GoodGymmers, Richard, Helen, Emily and Meyrick rocked up to help remove the Winter's weeds from the courtyard outide the dining hall.
This care/retirement home is in a lovely setting by the riverside and it's important that the residents can fully enjoy the outside areas as the weather warms up.
There were a lot of weeds though, but we are GoodGym and we made quick work of removing them with the limited tools we had at our disposal.
With a hope that Spring proper is only weeks away, let's hope the residents can enjoy this area all the better as the weather warms up.

Neat and tidy. (Always good to leave a few pollinating weeds for bees in pebbled area maybe) Nicer place now for sitting and sun soaking.

Great Scott! There was a big sense of deja vu when we arrived at Alice Park, in the shape of a great big pile of bark chips sitting on a tarpaulin just outside the gate.
Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads - because the bark chip pile was there to help us finish off the series of paths we've been working on for the past few sessions.
It's our density to finish this path and so at a speed which possibly approached 88mph, we got to work wheelbarrowing chips around the site.
We finished in short order, stopped for a nice chat and a coffee and then... made like a tree and got out of there.

Bath Report written by Meyrick Williams (He/Him)
Once upon a time, on a slightly windy and far too cold Tuesday evening in April, 4 adventurous GoodGymmers, Richard, Tanya, Helen and Meyrick ventured out once again to help the British Heart Foundation in their annual book moving exercise.
To explain, there are two British Heart Foundation shops in Bath, you could almost call them Bookends to each other. One has a giant storage room in the basement, the other does not. I guess, over the year, book donations build up in the one that can't store much and a tipping point is reached. That is where GoodGym step in.
We've done this for them over the years many times, and all that is required is that we move books from one shop to another. It's a short walk for sure, but the books are heavy. Usually they have a logistical solution for us, and this year it was in the shape of a massive wheelie bin.
In truth, the mighty GoodGym could have carried all the books across by hand well within the hour we had to complete the task, but the wheelie bin helped speed up delivery time and we were done in half an hour. Client satisified, we made our way home and everyone lived happily ever after.

It was Easter Sunday, and another week at Odd Down Junior Park Run for three eager GoodGym bunnies. The Junior 'arm' of GoodGym provides juniors with a chance to regularly run a 2km run before they age up to the full 5k adult Park Runs around the world.
Great locations as well, with the Odd Down Sports Area providing a perfect running track for the disance required.
It was Easter though, so priorities that morning may have been elsewhere. Nonetheless a crown of about 3 kids attended, with your GoodGymmers Helen, Ruth and Meyrick acting as marshalls to both ensure safety and provide vocal support for our young athletes.
Yes there were bunny ears worn, provided by Ruth, with hopefully much in the way of chocolate rewards for the runners (and the marshalls) when they returned home.
