Yay, five Goodgymmers, Roger, Eleanor, Nick, Keith and Lea, joined forces with some Bournemouth Ploggers, Maria, Angie and Chris, to tackle the litter around Alum chine. Nick joined us for the first time and even got his wife, Kat, and son Travis to help us. All in all that meant ten of us litterbinging…oops, litterpicking. Interesting finds?! Well, would you rate used condoms in the car park as interesting? Or more like 🤮? A car tyre? A carpet under the bridge? We lost a litterpicker to the sea, but got given one by a friendly member of the public… and Lea noticed later in the day that somebody had found the lost litterpicker and was using it!!! Kat was the nurdle queen, having a real go at those very annoying teenyweeny bits of plastic!!! Ok then, with lots and lots of little bits and lots and lots of bigger bits, another good litterbinge was had by all. Thank you all for your efforts.

Six goodgymers meet at the care home for the monthly quiz.Lea was quiz master and a very good quiz it was to .We had a music round then four rounds of general knowledge the scores were very close The uplifters got 32 and No name 39 . Thanks so much for the turnout it means so much to the care home residents.

Our monthly quiz tonight saw six residents and five Goodgymmers mingling in two teams to pit their wits against each other. Alas the music part was not to be, as the essential ingredient of a speaker hadn’t arrived. No problem, picture quiz to the ready. Famous and not so famous landmarks… Team “One out” did very well with 19 out of 20 points in that round. Then the Westbourne facts, the fairytale facts and car facts as well as a pot luck round had our brains working very hard! Team “The underdogs” came a close second with 50 points to “One out” with 54 points. Well done everyone!

One Goodgymer was flying round Northbourne getting the word out about Cherry Tree Nursery Autumn plant sale. I do hope they do well as they do so much good for adults with learning difficulties.I soon had the flyers delivered running up down drive ways putting the flyers through doors of the local area.

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.
