Admittedly, our volunteers were perhaps a little too short to assemble the ten foot poles at today’s task but it sure didn’t stop us from trying!!

In between various attempts to balance the heavy metal poles on ladders, our heads, and arms, we took a few breaks to practise our swing and hit some balls.

The task basically turned into a huge panic room style game of pick up sticks, and Batter Up owner Anna made sure we had a few mince pies to go along with the festive fun and games.

If at first you don’t succeed to assemble a batting cage, try, try again…? We’ll be back in 2026!

I visited Mr A to help with a loose handle that meant he couldn't easily close and open the bedroom door 🚪

Sadly the wood was torn in the screw hole so there was nothing to bite onto. But we found some glue and plugged the hole and put the screw in to let dry and set. Fingers crossed it does the job!

Mr A also needed a broken curtain rail fixing and I was able to complete that task for him as well!

2 jobs ticked off and merry christmas 🎄wishes dished out and I was off to the next GG session in the winter sun 🌞

Congratulations to Katie on reaching 500 GOOD DEEDS this evening! We reminisced on some of Katie's most memorable tasks over the years - so many fun memories!

College Park was remarkably tidy, but we still managed three reasonably full bags of rubbish on our turn around the area.

Good Deed complete, we went on a brief walking tour of local Christmas Lights, and even managed to collect the last two photos for the festive scavenger hunt. The evening was rounded off with a quick pub trip to celebrate an amazing year of GoodGym Portsmouth.
