It's Tuesday so it's a group run, meeting in (and returning to) Queen Square and leaving there at 6.30

Whoop! We're back to see our very good friend Xanne at Emmaus's magic Tardis warehouse to do whatever needs doing - constructing, destructing, puzzling, cleaning and mainly wearing anything possible as a hat.

This is indoors, but in a very well ventilated huge warehouse - the enormous roller shutter doors will be open so there will be a gale blowing through the warehouse. Please bring your mask as well as your gloves :-)

Changing facilities, lockers and loos are available at Workout Harbourside- bring your own padlock or inventive personal prized possession to swap for one of theirs if you want to lock your, er, locker. Otherwise it’s just an er. Make sure you’re back out in Queen Square for 6.20!

Come and join us at Northern Slopes at 9:30 to make the area look more tidy by addressing the regrown, defining the paths, clearing space for more trees as well as some litter-picking in the area.

We will be meeting at the top of Novers Steps. Look up manage.stones.burst on what3words.com to see the exact location.

Please bring your own gloves. Tools will be provided. As some parts of this task involve thick bramble bushes, please consider adequate clothing.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Are you finding it hard to motivate yourself in the morning? Come and join us for a end of the week morning dose of goodness at Windmill Hill City Farm.

Early morning, fresh air, walking/running/cycling (or however else you travel), volunteering, animals (and people, if you like them - socially distanced of course) - what a great way to start your day!

Expect a decent workout for our arms and upper body ;)

GoodGymers met on a windy Friday at Windmill Hill City Farm.

Today’s task consisted of raking up leaves and putting them in the compost.

It was lovely seeing everyone whilst doing some good :)

Well done everyone!

500 Deeds?! - leaflet out! Fir real.

A very special occasion tonight as we got together to celebrate Sarah reaching her 500th good deed!

We also managed to deliver a most appropriate 500 leaflets for the very excellent Aid Box community. These were to publicise their Refutree project, selling Christmas trees to raise money to support refugees.

The leaflets were targeted for an area around Clifton so that meant hills. After a short harbourside warm up we split into two groups, where I deftly volunteered my co-host Richard to take a group up the steepest hill while I took a steadier paced option up the more gradual ascent.

Between us we dispatched the leaflets to some very lovely houses before heading back downhill to Queen Square where Clo and Richard had a special surprise in store.

In what has become somewhat of a tradition, the maestros had penned a special musical tribute to Sarah, this time to be sung to the tune of Teenage Dirtbag. It was a masterpiece and a sterling live performance.

In return, Sarah treated us all to some fantastic Banana Bread and what I think was caramel cake but I'm not sure because there wasn't any left by the time it got to me and frankly I blame Matt for that 😁

In all seriousness though, Sarah we think you're amazing and an all round Nice Person. Well done on your 500th deed and thanks both for being such a valued member of our group for so long.

We all hope you feel better soon Mel, hopefully normal service with a professional level of pun and photography can resume again next week (thanks for the good photos Rich!)

GoodGymers met at Windmill Hill City Farm on a lovely Friday morning.

Today’s task consisted of raking leaves around the farm and putting them in the compost bin.

We done a great job today- I should have taken note of how many wheel barrows we filled!

Was lovely seeing everyone whilst doing good :)
