Three Goodgymmers, Keith, Roger and Lea, turned up in the pouring rain at the Tree House in Hurn. Were we the birthday party?!?! Eh no, we are here to work hard! And work hard we did! Nick had us collapse cardboard boxes indoors, then luckily the rain had lessened so off outside. Cans to be taken to recycling bin, brambles to be taken to the composting area and then the main job: reorganising the composting bays… taking out, lifting and emptying wheelbarrows for putting in, layering like lasagna, taking more out and putting more in and finally bagging useable compost! Yep, job very well done!

Three runners meet at the Care Home to put on the monthly quiz due to the hot weather and holidays the numbers where very thin on the ground, but we still had fun. One of the questions was where was Frys chocolate first produced its not York its Bristol which caught out a lot of people.At the end the results where very close Hot and Bothered had 44,And Thin on the Ground had 38 so it was very close. Lets do it all again next month.

Keith, Daryl and Lea filled quite a few bin bags with rubbish left behind by the world snd his wife at the weekend. Quite a few thank yous received! But some WTF (excuse my French) could be heard when Lea found a poo bag ON TOP OF a bin….What? WTF! More poop bags found in other places readily dumped by Joe Public… 😡😡😡 But with the bags filled and properly disposed of in the bins and stray toys in the toy library, we did our bit for mankind, right?!

Five Goodgymers meet at the Abbeyfield Care home for the July quiz ,With Lea being the Quiz Master.We had a picture round and 4 general rounds ,with one being on famous people in the local area with one question on Enid Blyton as she based one of the Famous Five Books round the Purbecks and Brownsea Island.The scores where very close in second place was The Magnificent Seven with 61 but in first place was Eight Sum with 64 well done to both teams as the score was very close.A big round of applause must go to Lea for the quiz it was very good. We look forward to going back next month.

One goodgymmer helped Mr P to loosen a tricky bath tap. Luckily they didn't even have to get the tools out though the jog to the task was hard work in the heat🌞

Three Goodgymers meet at Durley Chine and did a litter pick what was so nice was all the public saying thank you for doing it.It made it so worth while. But Bournemouth council have let us down they have promised more bins on the sea front but there seems to be less which is not a good sign as in this worm weather the beach is going to be very busy.In the time we spent litter picking we managed to collect two sacks of litter so we have made a big difference to this area of the beach .
