Four enthusiastic Goodgymers set about tidying the school grounds in Eton Wick. Juli and Chris moved a large pile of wood chips onto beds to help with weed control whilst Sol and Angela trimmed bushes and ivy so the area was more accessible. We then celebrated Juli's huge achievement of 250 good deeds with an amazing poem (thank you Sophie!) a lovely medal ( thanks Sheila!) and of course cake! Well done Juli! Here's to the next 250!

Its a hat trick of visits to the Green Skills Library, hosted by the wonderful Donna. Mike was already hard at work filing down some wooden formers which are being re-purposed as display shelves. Sol and Sheila were soon put to work painting primer onto the shelves. Meanwhile Rachel, Jen, Angela and Roberta brought out their creative sides with a spot of decoupage. They glued patches of fabric onto baubles rescued from the Nicholsons Centre before it was demolished. Their full beauty will be revealed once the glue has dried clear. These will be used to decorate a tree at the St Luke's Christmas Tree Festival in December, and then sold off for much-needed funds. There was much fun and laughter - we love visiting the Green Skills Library - it's so inspirational!

Our latest visit to help the Green Skills Library had a bit of everything, from sanding and painting jobs to making table decorations, fueled by a tub of Quality Street and supported by a very excited labrador. The library is looking fabulous and we're all looking forward to seeing it open once again. Thanks to everyone who joined!

Sheila and Angela joined 3 of the other volunteers at the community allotment tonight, and it was all about getting the beds ready for winter. Our first task was to shovel the last of the old manure and topsoil from the storage bay into a wheelbarrow. Not made easy as the front of the bay could not be removed, but we managed to scrape it out from underneath. This was used to top up one of the beds, into which we transplanted the leeks. Angela then heroically transferred the new horse manure into the empty bay. There was a bit of time for Angela to do some extra weeding before packing up our spades and trowels
