On a beautiful late summers evening, 8 Goodgymers arrived on foot or two wheels from the north, south, east and west having heard the wonderful news that we have a new GG member - welcome to GoodGym Swindon Baby Garraway ๐Ÿ‘ถ ๐Ÿผ

There were more celebrations in the air as we celebrated Traceyโ€™s 100th good deed ๐ŸŽ‰ Tracey is one of our fantastic run reporters, Facebook guru and an all round fabulous gal - Get that girl some well deserved wings!

The task - Jane was well prepared as usual with the tools laid out, socially distant of course, and explained the playground hadnโ€™t been tended to during lockdown and the summer. So we split into teams: Team one - Becky, Tracey and Sam on leaf collection ๐Ÿ‚ Team two - Richard and Stuart on stone collection ๐Ÿงน Team three - Adam and Tracy on Topiary ๐ŸŒณ Team four - Gaby, later joined by Richard, on weeding the flower beds ๐ŸŒท

This was the first of two visits planned to tackle the playground. Jane and some of the teachers were pleased with the difference and grateful for our efforts. So as the sun went down we kicked back and enjoyed a chocolate bar ๐Ÿซ before heading home.
