A bright Saturday morning set the scene for this feel‑good GoodGym mission at St Andrew's Triwse, combining fresh air, teamwork and more than a little tidying. The group ran and cycled their way over, warming up nicely before tackling a busy set of tasks. On arrival we split into teams and got straight to work. Team Shed took on the big job of clearing and reorganising a very cluttered space, uncovering long‑forgotten items and transforming the shed into something usable again, whilst evicting a LOT of spiders.... Meanwhile, inside the church, one GoodGymer calmly dusted pews and surfaces, helping bring a fresh shine back to the building. Outside Deepak swept through the churchyard, removing stray chairs and so on. Halfway through, we were treated to tea and cake, which gave everyone a welcome boost. Emrys the dog was especially pleased about this development — he even attempted to liberate a slice when he thought no one was watching. He also made a new friend: a lovely big greyhound who seemed delighted to meet him. After just over an hour of steady graft, the shed was sorted, the church interior refreshed, and the churchyard looking cared for. A brilliant way to start a Saturday, full of teamwork, wagging tails and very good cake.

This morning four GoodGymer's met at St. Andrew’s Church to tidy up vegetation in the graveyard and turn over the compost.

We welcomed Maria, a new GoodGym member on her first task.

There was some excellent compost, which we bagged up so it could be offered to members of the congregation in return for a donation to the church.

It was an enjoyable task on a lovely sunny morning, and Sarah from the church kindly provided coffee.
