This Sunday we were back delivering roast dinners for Odd Down residents who can't make the monthly community lunch put on by St Philip's Church. Only four people had signed up but they really appreciate their takeaway.

Mary and I put some welly into the deliveries so they were still hot when they arrived. It also proved to be a proper workout because we had to bring back a donation to base - and come back with change. I made the mistake of putting a fiver through the letterbox and it was snapped up by the dog. Oops.

For people that come to the meals it's a chance to catch up and not feel so alone For those who are housebound it's a reminder that the church cares. We'll be back next month.

Meyrick, Ruth and Tanya were on hand bright and early to put up signs and perform marshaling duties to keep runners on track at Brickfields Park parkrun. Today there were a total of 32 volunteers facilitating the run/walk event for 244 participants. parkrun takes place every Saturday morning at 9am, why not come along and join the fun, it's a great community and definitely a sign of a Saturday morning well spent!

While the rest of Bath was tucking into their Easter Eggs we three GoodGymers were donning our bunny ears and getting ready to marshal at junior Parkrun. Actually it was way too windy for bunny ears but the sentiment was there.

We walked most of the course at Odd Down Sports Ground to get into our respective positions and then were in full cheer mode as the young Parkrunners made their way round the 2km required. It’s amazing to see the children speed up to give you a hi five and give an extra burst of energy with an encouraging word from Mary, Tanya or myself.

There were only 65 participants this week - probably because of the clash with Easter - but what they lacked in numbers they made up in enthusiasm. We’ll be back for more of that in two months time.

We love St John's Court, it's always a popular mission for Bath's GoodGymmers. For half the year though, we don't get to visit, other than the two either side of Christmas to put up/take down their decorations.

The reason for this is that our visits are on Weekday evenings so we have to wait until the clocks change before we can reasonably expect enough daylight to see what we are doing. So it is always a wonderful that our return to St John's coincide with the beginning of Spring.

Big crowd for this one as well, Ruth, Kate, Tanya, Emily, Bennath, Nev and Meyrick rocked up on this lovely sunny evening to help this Retirement home look even better for the residents that live in it.

Ann was on hand, herself a resident, and the job was to tidy up the front of the building - trimming the hedges, clearing weeds and brushing the front yard. With the help of a more than decent supply of gardening equipment we set to and made a great job of this. We'll be back in month to help them even more, looking forward to it!!

GoodGym was asked to help at an Easter trail organised by one of our favourite charities, the Nest Project, and - with a name like that - you can be sure eggs were involved. I was so keen I even brought my own bunny ears.

The charity provides clothes and equipment for families with young children. On Saturday they invited everyone to take part in an Easter Egg Hunt in a local park in Bath.

It was a privilege - if a chilly one - to stand at the gate welcoming people and it was a joy to see the children spot the letters making up the secret code word. (Clue - it began with e and ended in egg),

Everyone had a great time and, even better, the event raised £200 towards their wonderful work.

Emily, Meryick and Cosmo, descended upon Alice Park vegetables garden once more. Often structures are maintained or improved upon. Tools were collected and working out the job were decided, amongst the general chit chat. I, needed a caffeine boost to help me on my way. Wood was weaved, tied in and shortened for a good structure feature to compliment the greenery and look/aesthetic of the community plot. I turned compost, for plants to have soil nutrition as they grow towards their best for summer display and autumn harvest. A warming drink, was provided for refreshment and a good morning work was done. It was good to keep the garden looking its best as we go towards mid summer. Well done guys!
