Rekha and Sheila met with Lydia on a beautiful sunny November morning to help clear the pavement at the Courthouse Road/Bath Road junction of invading shrubbery. Amy and Tessa had represented GoodGym the day before at the same task, so we were keen to continue the great works. Once we had twigged that our task owner had already set to work around the corner, we didn't beat around the bush, but got straight to work with loppers, cutting back the offending branches. We were joined by 4 other concerned local residents, so progress was swift. Several dumpy bags later, the access had been improved considerably, and who knew that there was a fire hydrant hiding in the undergrowth? The quest continues next Monday - sign up here to join in the fun.

Four runners helped man a stall at the Maidenhead Waterways Fun Day. Avid engineers had the opportunity to learn about how locks work using a miniature toy canal with gates and a pump. Successful participants managed to navigate the little waterway and avoid sinking their boats. Fun was had by all, adults and children alike although there was plenty of splashing and failed attempts. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X82PrzRXC70

We came, we saw and we conquered. The garden at the Highview Centre was extremely overgrown when we arrived. With limited tools every single GoodGym member who attended rolled up their selves and got stuck in-(literally).It was amazing team work. What a fantastic group of volunteers.

We cut down, trimmed, swept, raked and even re-planted. Valerie, from Highview could not believe the transformation of the garden, and was so grateful for all the help and time everyone had given.
