Great to see another big number of GoodGymers get out there in the wind & rain, and tackle the ever-present rubbish in their local areas.

While some (like Sheila, Rachel & Diya) did it as a group, some went out in pair with their pets, and many did solo picks in places which needed it most.

GoodGym tasks are fun together but this format has given people a lot of flexibility, because of which we have larger coverage and a lot less litter on our streets. Win Win!

14 GoodGymers turned out for the first Wednesday night session of the year to help the wonderful Green Skills Library. Kudos to Jess for leading a group to run from the Community Centre to get to the task. It was great to welcome Monnish for his first ever task and Sinead for her second. We were met by our Taskowner Donna who led us down into the old Smokeys Nightclub. It evoked some good memories for some! One group sorted the donated fabrics into types, so that they can be re-used in community projects. We came across some fabulous and interesting fabrics. One person's rags is another person's riches, and Donna is certainly determined to use the riches stored in that room for the good of the community. Another group sorted the stationery, creating order from chaos. The hour just flew by, and great progress was made. Thanks to Amy for the impromptu arm press-up session to help warm everyone up
