Four Goodgymers meet at Bishop Aldhelms school Plus we had a surprise return of Paul who has just come back from his latest travels. We where set the task of moving soil and slate which we soon had under control.We then cleared weeds and roots which where near the service by the end of the task the ground was level and ready for the next stage.Well done all the school are very pleased with what we where able to get done in the two weeks well done.

Five Goodgymmers, Eleanor, Roger, Daryl, Keith and Lea, had another go at attacking the Spanish Bluebells, by fair means or foul... digging them out with bulbs and all or deadheading them. We again filled a number of wheelbarrows and the garden is looking very blueless now, much to David's delight. He will get their regular volunteers to plant new stuff. Thanks for your hard work everyone.

Three Goodgymer's meet at Bishop Aldhelms School .We where meet by Neil who is the site manager ,who showed us round to the Reflection Garden which we had to help clear as it has become over grown i told Neil one of the first Tasks at the school was to help install the garden so we have come a full circle.

Eight members meet at the Care Home for the monthly quiz which they enjoy.This month Lea was the quiz master with the rest of us splitting up to make three teams.The first round was what is the name of groups of animals with one question being what is a group of Hedgehogs ans being Prickle. Then we had four general knowledge rounds of various topics.Out of 42 two teams got 27.5 but the winners got 30.5 so it was very close Until next time

Four Goodgymmers, Adam ( on his first good deed!), Daryl, Keith and Lea, went to the Tree House in Hurn, the head office for Diverse Abilities. Nice jobs… indeed! Keith was happily lopping away the seed pods high in the palm trees, glad he had brought his extending loppers from home! Daryl and Adam were thinning out a too densely packed bed with mainly lovely smelling mint. Lea attacked the buddleia with a vengeance. Buddleia grows fiercely so needs to be cut back fiercely. Clearing up all the cuttings and weeds were jobs that Lea, Daryl and Adam got stuck in. But… heaven of heavens the best job of all: digging out the invasive irises in the pond. Yeeesss, MUD HEAVEN for Lea! Adam was definitely earning his Goodgym first deed: digging, pulling, heaving mud, together with Lea, all under the watchful eyes of Daryl and Keith. When Lea put a bucket of mud down a bit too hard, Daryl wasn’t so happy anymore… oops, sorry Daryl. Lea, covered in mud, was as happy as a mud loving hippo. Nick from Diverse Abilities was amazed at how much we got done and very grateful for all our hard work. Thanks very much everyone.
