We were joined by new Goodgymmer Sophie from our GG Windsor and Maidenhead neighbour today who rolled up her sleeves and soon got snippy with the scissors cutting the crisp packets that Kam was elbow deep in soapy water washing and laying out to dry.

Jen decided to tackle the mountain of Ella's Baby Food pouches which really hadnt been left in a clean enough state to pack up so armed with her own bowl of soapy water and a bottle brush she wasnt foiled in her efforts to clean them up a bit although the water looked more like a very diluted soup/stew/smoothie combination by the time she had finished.

By the time Pam joined us for the second hour she had a choice of helping reduce the small mountain of crisp packets or brushing up on her pouch cleaning skills....the pouches won so with two of us working on them we could achieve more.

As we were leaving we were able to help a member of the public using the recycling facilities for the first time by showing her which box was which and helping her write down all the recycling streams we have as she wants to spread the word to her residents association. GoodGym doing good to save the planet!

P.s have you noticed the new, shiny banner?
