Title: A fairytale car ride through Westbourne .

Monday 14th September

Written by Bournemouth runner

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.

Can composting

Saturday 29th August

Written by Bournemouth runner

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!
