A great morning helping the wonderful Baffins Pond Association with their dog show/ car boot. A range of tasks were undertaken by GoodGym-ers, including gazebo setup, dog agility course setup, catering setup, litter picking, sweeping, wheelbarrowing, lifting and shifting! A pedigree class event for GoodGym! A big welcome to Aster and Jerry for their first GoodGym session, hope to see you again soon!

Jane at the Baffins Pond Association asked us to litter-pick the car park, the dipping pond and Stagg Wood. We soon collected plenty of rubbish, including hidden litter in the depths of Stagg Wood.

It was great to walk amongst the healthy, trees that were just tiny saplings when Portsmouth GoodGym helped spread bark around them to suppress the weeds a few years ago.

2 GoodGymers made their way to Baffins for the monthly litter pick after parkrun. It was a nice cool day after yesterdays sun. We found some interesting litter including a water pistol. The best find was some school notes on relationships and making babies! We did have a good read, but I don’t think we learnt anything new! We checked in on Buggingham Palace after the litter pick, the rooms were still quite well furnished and the guests seemed happy. We rounded off a lovely morning with a drink and cake at Beenys.

Very nice to see that our continued support at Baffins Pond seems to be having an effect. Much less litter around this time.

The most fascinating piece was a broken fishing rod that had been taken apart and left nicely on the wall. Why not just take it home?!

One wrapper was our nemesis. Staying just out of reach, even with the extended pickers!

The rain stayed away and we got to see the ducklings and the swan on their nest. Plus the goth ducks!

Four keen goodgymmers joined baffins pond association for their monthly litter pick on a sunny spring morning. A big GG welcome to Joe for his first good deed with goodgym. Lovely to meet you!

As usual at baffins there was copious cigarette butts to pick up around the pond and the squirrels were wild and the gave Joe a friendly 'hitchcock'-esque welcome to the woods.

We met Yvonne and Jane and headed into stag woods and found a treasure trove of litter as well as a rogue lonely boot on the way. After picking up all the cans and bottles and Joe scaling a tree to get some destroyed tarpaulin we headed back to the BPA to hand in our haul.

After a cuppa and a chat it was all hands on bunny ears as the hunt began!

We were tasked with crowd control, customer service, directions and token replenishment.

With great help from 2 megastar mini GGers, all the hunters were successful in finding all 6 colour tokens and happily left with their chocolate loot!

Some very covert token dropping from pockets helped disguise what we were doing to avoid a bundle of treasure hunters!

A very successful event in the lovely spring weather
