Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Amy L GoodGym (she/her)
Report title credit to Jen S, who was our super leader for the session. It might make you imagine we ditched the task and went to the pub, but the awesome GoodGymers of W&M wouldn't dream of missing an opportunity for good deeds!
Jen is actually referring to the excellent work she, Viv and Juli did taking the legs off display screens and the feet off the legs. Maybe next year's title can be Footloose!? They also shifted lots of tables and chairs, hooks, bolts and plinths.
Meanwhile Ed, Suhas and I had the fun job of packing things away under the stage. Thanks to Ed, who wrote the below report:
*I arrived early at 3.30pm and was set to task in Pinder Hall, so that prints and paints were in order (those not on screens). At 5pm All of us; good gym and the exhibition organisers we went 'down under' to store the panels. Amy and John and another chap put away screens and supports were stacked professionally guided by Amy. We adhered to health and safety by being watchful and chatter giving confidence. I was crawling with hands and legs like a child to avoid bumping my head. Great satisfaction was finalised by walking with Julie, black shirted goodgym.org back to Maidenhead.
*I made enquiries into painting clubs locally, and spoke to Julie about ParkRun and Zoe Nutrition. One question, slightly out of sync: Does anyone have a space to store some boxes. whatever space that is available would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks to everyone who got involved. We'll have another chance for fun with the Cookham Arts Club in the Spring. Hope to see you there!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Angela Shaw
Twelve goodgymers delved through nettles and thistles to reach the pesky balsam and remove it before it self seeded. Will and Victoria joined in the work like seasoned pros plucking, snapping and making piles of the unwanted plant. Everyone worked hard together to explore the undergrowth and weed those hard to reach areas. A satisfying task and great teamwork! Flora the dog created some much needed entertainment and distraction!

10 Goodgymers gave an out-sanding effort tonight helping Norden Farm prepare their beach for the Summer.
12 x 1 ton bags of sand had been delivered earlier in the day, caught on camera by Amy.
Many hands definitely did make light work tonight, leaving time for us to celebrate lovely Tessa's fantastic 100th good deed.
As usual we presented a medal, ate cake baked by the wonderful Amy who also recited another one of her awesome poems:
Lots of us met Tessa on a GoodGym good deed, But I first got to know her whilst planning the Big Read.
She’s brainy with words and knows an adverb from a noun. She’s looked forward to this poem, so I mustn’t let her down.
‘Where would she go for inspo?’ I thought to myself And headed to the library, and books upon the shelf
I found heroines and superstars from cover to cover But none as brilliant as Tessa, the GoodGym Bingo lover…
When Tessa’s given a Bingo card, it’s like a magic wand It gives her wings to do great things in January and beyond.
Roahl Dahl’s little heroes had chocolate and a peach But 100 GoodGym good deeds were well out of their reach.
Never mind Red Riding Hood, three pigs or bears Tessa Allanson carried bicycles up stairs!
Forget Ingalls Wilder, forget about Heidi! Tessa helped us make the nature garden tidy!
Potter, Grainger, Weasley move aside! Tessa Allanson helped make the path more wide
Hal Beck never solved a cemetery mystery But Tessa battled ivy to reveal Spital’s history
Whilst the Famous Five drank ginger beer in Kirrin Island fort Tessa did a litter pick and wrote the run report!
Austen’s protaganists had sense and sensibility but Tessa marshals parkrun with energy and agility!
Frodo and Samwise might be legends now But I bet they’ve never been to GoodGym in Slough!
So what if Mary Poppins made the medicine go down? Tessa teaches kids to read all over town!
It may sounds like fiction, but this is a fact Tessa Allanson is a proper class act.
So put your hands together for the star of our story Tessa, deserving of all the cake and glory!
