Tonight's task had Everything I Wanted - a fruitful litter pick and a bit of exercise in a way only GoodGym can do it!

Visiting one of the local underpasses, an early find from Dave was a carrier bag full of bangles - hence a report dedicated to 80s Pop Princesses, The Bangles.

Judy discovered an Eternal (Flame) stream of cans amongst the bushes, and the rest of us had to Walk Like An Egyptian to avoid being bopped on the head by them as they were launched, missile style, to be crushed for recycling.

Katie vowed "I'll Set You Free" to an impressive array of scarves - it was like watching a magician pull handkerchiefs from a hat as she deftly pulled a never ending chain of them from amongst the brambles.

Tracey came Walking Down Your Street with four-legged GoodGymer Ollie, who was very good at sniffing out litter!

Much to the confusion of a local Colas worker, we started a new kind of race - the Vodka Bottle Relay! Jen, Dave and Katie took it in turns to run up the underpass to the bottle bank to deposit our finds. Mr Colas also gave us a couple of extra bags as we found so much litter!

Not so much a Manic Monday but a Winning Wednesday. Most productive and pleasant evening, thanks everyone!

with speed and accuaracy the foodbank was packed away with Lucy stacking all the chairs and Fiona ensuring everything had a good wipe down.

4 goodgymers worked hard to make sure that those in need got a food parcel. We were short of a few items but not of good cheer or muscle power. Despite being out foxed by the mice our resident Cat in the Hat did yet another excellent job stocking, restocking, packing and unpacking the warehouse. Lucy used her professional know how to ensure everyone was safe and happy whilst Fiona tared and weighed like a pro!

a much needed stock take and repack after a busy Tuesday

a whopping 32 parcels were packed, lifted, weighed, lifted and delivered to those in need in Portsmouth

This week the Victoria Park gardening volunteers focused on one of the newly-planted shrub beds, weeding and hoeing around the young plants.

There were countless sycamore seedlings sprouting out everywhere, and as we didn't want the Park to turn into a sycamore woodland, they all had to come out, and join the compost heap instead!

(I enjoyed myself so much, I forgot to take a photo, so a snap of my bedraggled tulips will have to do!)
