The annual Baffins Pond Easter Egg Hunt took place and was the busiest ever!

With the need of an extra 50 eggs from the shop, there was multiple re stocks of tokens needed. Samantha, Andy and Dave came from parkrun.

And we were quickly put to work. Tables needed assembling and cleaning after all the rain this year had flooded the container!

Then we were put to work weeding the area outside the hall. Bribed with hot drinks!!

Before the token hiding began as the queue had started to build.

The Easter Bunny graced us with their presence too!!

We welcome Amie for her first ever GoodGym session this evening - visit her profile to give her a cheer! 🎉

After a rather steep incline up to the task, we got stuck in with weeding the vegetable planters, under the supervision of Sue. Check out the before and after photos, this difference is mega. We also re-located some spring onions to be with their friends, before they got consumed by the thriving potato plants!

Andy uncovered a teeny plastic file whilst weeding down the paths, whilst we admired Amie's super-handy weeding device. Unfortunately, removing the weeds from the sand and gravel paths was not as satisfying as in the raised beds, but we powered through and got quite a lot cleared.

For the third consecutive week, GG has returned to the same stretch of Portswood Road, and once again it didn’t disappoint—we collected bags and bags of litter. It’s incredible how much rubbish can be found in such a short distance. It’ll be fascinating (and maybe a little terrifying!) to see what it’s like “over the wall” this time next year.

We officially welcomed Laura this evening - (now signed up to GoodGym) and immediately showed us why she’s a brilliant addition, she was picking up litter super fast, powering through the task like she’d been doing it for years (Wilson wish she had!).

Sarah did us proud by walking to the task, clocking up an impressive 4‑mile round trip by walking to the session. Wilson found some vials of liquid.... Sarah had an idea what they were for.... 😉

Another huge litter haul on Portswood Road, and another great effort from the team.

This was a great task - with GG members from Leicester and Portsmouth also joining in and some new members locally!

Yoyo enjoyed a litter pick along Chilworth Road saying it was good, easy to organise, and it felt great contributing to the community.

Nick from Leicester litterpicked a road into Asfordby village. Two bags of grot plus 2/3 bag of crushed cans left at the wombles Air Ambulance appeal collection point. Adding to the £17k raised so far by collecting and weighing in the cans from across the borough!

Judy from Portsmouth GG tried to litter pick the sandy beaches of Jersey - thought they were very clean so finding litter was tricky!

Jane from Portsmouth GG tidied up the bushes at Milton Park - but wasnt able to catch any of the big big bubbles floating past as she did so!

Sarah filled two bags with litter whilst walking along the River Itchen near Brambridge.

Dave from Portsmouth GG picked locally in Pompey.

Amanda did her litter pick on the way to the pub - sounds like my kinda litter pick!

Ellie filled a bag local to where she lives - not just from her garden!

Wilson filled a bin bag just from her 10 min walk home from work - sad but true.

All these litter picks build up and help to keep our environment clean 😊😊😊
