On a sunny Saturday morning, eight GoodGym superwomen met to tidy up Springvale Estate Residents Hall in preparation for polling day on May 6th. The GoodGym gang were greeted by Berni, who explained the three main tasks which needed to be completed:

  1. Picking up the rubbish by the front of the hall πŸ—‘οΈ
  2. Weeding the paths and paved area at the back of the hall and in the garden 🌱
  3. Sweeping up dust and getting rid of the cobwebs πŸ•ΈοΈ

'Big little' Beth had an improptu tour of the Springvale Estate as she attempted to track down the rest of the group, but it wasn't long before she was located and led into the garden of Springvale Estate Residents Hall.

Everyone armed themselves with tools, or in Michelle's case a feather duster, and quickly set to work. Jess and Analiese collected together the rubbish at the front of the hall, and quickly moved around to the roadside path to begin removing the weeds that had sprung up again. Analiese discovered the joy of the 's*** hot weeding tool', a favourite at GoodGym H&F and made light work of the weeds using it,

Michelle dusted and removed all the cobwebs from around the door while Lucy, Aine and 'Big little' Beth focused their weeding efforts on the the side path that would be poll station entrance! Beth and Clare weeded and swept the garden patio area. Michelle found another 's*** hot weeding tool' in the shed and joined Beth and Clare on the patio area, along with a tame robin who sat and seranded the group from one of the plant pots.

Eight pairs of GoodGym hands had the front and garden area of Springvale Estate Residents Hall looking spick and span in no time at all, ready for it to be a poll station next week. Berni offered around a 'healthy' treat of Haribos as a thank you, and we said our goodbyes. Girl power!
