Despite task leader Louise painting her car instead of the fence, the 5 lovely goodgymmers did a wonderful job of repainting the players walkway fence

With the full fence painted in no time- we put our brushes to one side and made our way down the dark lane back to our waiting transport home

Another task brushed off our list

A call was put out for people to knit or crochet bookmarks for Bisham C of E academy. Five Goodgymers responded to the challenge, creating over a hundred bookmarks between them in a range of colours, and even a couple of hearts. Well done to Hannah, our taskowner, for producing the lion's share

The session at Ray Mill Island today was all about letting light through to enable plants to grow in amongst the trees. Sheila and another volunteer spent the session dragging the branches and brambles that had been cut down last week, to the compost heap. Thick gloves were required! Meanwhile Mick gave the dogwood and hawthorns near the cafe a good haircut

Welfare visit for Mrs D

Sol joined the Friends of Maidenhead Waterways on the Cookham Moor. The aim was to pull fallen tree branches and debris out of the water stream.

We donned the waders and plit into smaller groups and started the clearing. The work went along well and soon enough it was time for tea and biscuits break.

All in all, it was a great Saturday morning out in nature. Spring is almost here.

An amazing 8 people signed up to help at the Baby Bank today, which I think is a record. We welcomed Caroline for her very first GoodGym session, and she quickly got to grips with the many intricacies of clothes-sorting. It was a typically busy session, with the team split between first and second checks. Thanks to Jane for taking on the sorting out of the overflow bags and congratulations on reaching your 10th Good Deed!
