There was plenty to celebrate as six GoodGymers helped six local organisations spread the word about their good work by preparing their leaflets for delivery next week.

Fay, Laurie, Andy and Martin reported back on that afternoon’s Chelmsford CVS’s charity update forum. GoodGym Chelmsford got a shout out for its 10th birthday, and the cakes from Chelmsford WI won rave reviews.

Ben was proudly wearing his brand new black GoodGym t-shirt after completing 50 good deeds. Congratulations! It looks like Erin will be next to join the illustrious club.

Thanks everyone for some great leaflet folding - and see you next week to get them through letterboxes.

food was delicious. we missed Martin. great value with half price card!

more socials to come next month!

While some people were stuck on a broken down train, others wanted to get to work GoodGyming!

We met and celebrated with fireworks Ben's 50th good deed! He obviously missed it being late but was excited to learn he can get new black tshirt. We headed on to the task, a short run there via a closed road (where Joel gave such a smouldering look it made me weak at the knees) and obviously Fay, as co task owner and goodgymer told us the wrong gate. We also met the legendary Ian who let us in and showed us what needed doing.

Jane dived in like the motherforker she is (Rich's words) and we began to turn over the soil. It was decent quality soil so Ian was astounded at the quick progress we were able to make. As you can see from the picture, we got a huge amount achieved and we begged Ian to have us to help Age Concern again in the future!

Then time for the main event, with three birthdays this coming week, Sallyann whipped out those magnificent muffins. Choices were chocolate and vegan flavour (although I am told vegan isn't a flavour and it was something called a blueberry). Delicious! We were ready for curry. Thanks made again to Ian and Age concern.

Happy birthday to those this week - mainly me - and happy goodgyming!
