Bath Report written by Helen Conner (she/her)
6 Goodgymers headed to Genesis to help sort a variety of donations into fancy products and practical products. Some products were more obvious than others, whilst others, we had to guess the object in an attempt to classify it!
It took us just one hour to work through a mountain of boxes to sort into crates ready for other charities.

Bath Report written by Jer Boon
This morning's snow had all but melted by early afternoon when we arrived at the farm.
The thaw made it mucky under foot - when isn't it muddy at the farm..? But undaunted we set about tending to some of the farm's residents.
First we visited the goats. To refresh their hay for snacking, and also to lay some bark chips around by the entrance to their pen, which was getting rather overrun with aforementioned mud.
Also we visited the chickens, whose home likewise needed some TLC. The weight of the snow had brought down the netting roof of their enclosure, and Meyrick and I set about removing the netting.
And then we adjouned to the farm's cafe for a nice cup of coffee and/or beverage of your choice.

Bath Report written by Meyrick Williams (He/Him)
They have a really great new play area at Sydney Gardens. One of the features is a sandpit, through which runs a water feature from top to bottom. Problem is with sand is it disappears with time.
Some of this could be explained by he usual processes of fluvial erosion but in this case enthusiastic children likely contribute in the course of doing exactly what they should be doing, play.
The task for the 5 GoodGymmers that attended was to replenish the sand in order that play could continue. Naturally the location of the backup sand was the furthest distance away from where it was needed. I'm beginning to see a common rule here, the need for a 'heavy to transport' material is inversely proportional to its distance from the location it is needed.
Undeterred, GoodGymmers Stephen, Mark, Kate, Jane and Meyrick set about the task. We had three wheelbarrows though, so our output was limited. Plus one of those wheelbarrows suffered a puncture at the start to we improvised.
We mus have made a dozen trips though, gratefully received by the on site volunteers who were raking the sand over to return the sandpit to its former glory.
No doubt this will be required again as play resumes, but all in all a Sandtastic effort from all involved.
