Grounded and Goodgym go way back to the early days of Goodgym Bournemouth.So when they asked for help with a new promotion to help raise funds to keep going and to continue doing the good work that they do i could not say no .I collected the leaflets and choose the roads to deliver to.So i set off to deliver some 180 leaflets which I managed to do.I do hope Grounded get the support they need from this promotion.

After a drizzly, grey afternoon in Bournemouth on Friday, the wind picked up and blew the clouds away in time for a (almost) perfectly pink sunset to guide the 3, 5 and 10km walkers for the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity who were raising money for life-changing breast cancer treatment. Just one GoodGymmer, Eleanor, was pitched at the 5km turning point, glow stick and sign in hand, to marshal and cheer-on the walkers as they paved their way across the seafront, starting at the Pier, passing the Toft ZigZag (3km), Boscombe Pier (5km) and Sobo, in Southbourne (10km).

Three Goodgymers were met by the lovely Vicky for our monthly quiz. It looked like it would be a very quiet quiz but ended up with two teams of four and one more resident turned up for the final question. First off, the teams were challenged to name the authors in the picture round. After that, their knowledge of all things May was tested: birthstones, star signs, famous Mays and events in May. The teams were very evenly matched after two further rounds of general knowledge with Daryl, Janet, Irvine and David coming out on top.

I meet the nurse at the flat she showed me what needed to be done Which was move the two seater setie into the bedroom.On moving we found a lot of dust so out came the hover and within minutes you would not have known the setie had been moved.The setie was moved into the bedroom and good clean up we locked up and said goodbye and I was. On my way knowing that a good job had been done.

Four Goodgymers meet at Bishop Aldhelms school Plus we had a surprise return of Paul who has just come back from his latest travels. We where set the task of moving soil and slate which we soon had under control.We then cleared weeds and roots which where near the service by the end of the task the ground was level and ready for the next stage.Well done all the school are very pleased with what we where able to get done in the two weeks well done.

Five Goodgymmers, Eleanor, Roger, Daryl, Keith and Lea, had another go at attacking the Spanish Bluebells, by fair means or foul... digging them out with bulbs and all or deadheading them. We again filled a number of wheelbarrows and the garden is looking very blueless now, much to David's delight. He will get their regular volunteers to plant new stuff. Thanks for your hard work everyone.
