Daryl meet Caprice ,(its great to see you again don't leave it so long we love to see you).Romy and her friend Gemma, who came along for the first time it's great to see you we look forward to seeing you again. We walked the short distance from the triangle to the care where we meet up with Paul who has just come back from 6 weeks in Asia.Before we started the quiz Vicky who is a 101 wrote us a poem which goes like this.On every second Monday,of each month throughout the year, Regardless of the weather,Our good Gymers do appear,Armed with many questions, And pen and paper too,Are so helpful with the questions,When we don't have a clue,So we thank you dear good Gymers, For the effort that you make,And the time you spend in giving us,A pleasant welcome break. By Vicky 101. That was so touching when she read it out. Back to the quiz we had a table top round where they had to guess the country from the outline then there was 30 general knowledge questions the scores where out of 39 the winners were the Dimwits with 23 second was the Smart Asses with 20.5 so it was very close.The evening was very enjoyable we look forward to next time .

Daryl and Eleanor met and left running around 4 miles in opposite directions, in between clearing up Bournemouth Gardens with their mighty litter pickers! One whole bag full was gathered (the area was reasonably tidy for once!), with the usual cans and food packets, all the like, but a star littered-tin-can shining just off the path by the shrubs would come to prove Daryl's immense dedication and determination to improve our lovely green spaces here in Bournemouth... as he well and truly got stuck in the boggy mud collecting said can, losing both his shoes and turning his white sport socks brown as he hopped to safety! (All Eleanor could do was laugh, but of course, save the trainers).

Two runners meet at the Brewhouse on what must be the best day of the year so far. We had sun all day.We had a nice gentle run to Durley Chine where we started the litter pick we went down one side to the beach took some photos as it was a nice evening and decided to go back up the other which turned out to be the right move as the other side was bad there had been a land slide and works was going on but they just left the rubbish so we picked up the bottles and cans .Afterwards we went up on the West Cliff where behind a tree we found a rather wet but a complete out fit including socks!!! We managed to fill two rubbish sacks so we had done a good job in the time. We headed back and said our good byes until the next time.

One Goodgymer meet up with Karen from the Parks Foundation who look after a lot of the green parks in Bournemouth.We walked round the park to see where the Four trees would be planted once sorted and shown how they were to be set in I set to and soon had the first one in within no time we had all four in and the rain did not bother us.I must say it was a good afternoon and very educational. All four trees were safely planted.
