Nine creative Goodgymers enjoyed a fun session up-cycling old baubles for the St Lukes Christmas tree festival. Small pieces of fabric were skillfully attached using plenty of glue to create 22 new and unique works of art. A relaxing way to spend a chilly evening! Our final session will be at the Green Skills library on Tuesday 17th November.

Four creative goodgymers met at the new Green Skills library in Maidenhead to give some new life to old baubles. Sarah and Angela cut up Christmas fabrics which had all been donated whilst Chris P and Chris D set about sticking them onto the baubles. After much patience and filling in gaps and generous amounts of glue many new and unique baubles appeared! A lovely way to spend a chilly afternoon!

Four enthusiastic Goodgymers set about tidying the school grounds in Eton Wick. Juli and Chris moved a large pile of wood chips onto beds to help with weed control whilst Sol and Angela trimmed bushes and ivy so the area was more accessible. We then celebrated Juli's huge achievement of 250 good deeds with an amazing poem (thank you Sophie!) a lovely medal ( thanks Sheila!) and of course cake! Well done Juli! Here's to the next 250!

Its a hat trick of visits to the Green Skills Library, hosted by the wonderful Donna. Mike was already hard at work filing down some wooden formers which are being re-purposed as display shelves. Sol and Sheila were soon put to work painting primer onto the shelves. Meanwhile Rachel, Jen, Angela and Roberta brought out their creative sides with a spot of decoupage. They glued patches of fabric onto baubles rescued from the Nicholsons Centre before it was demolished. Their full beauty will be revealed once the glue has dried clear. These will be used to decorate a tree at the St Luke's Christmas Tree Festival in December, and then sold off for much-needed funds. There was much fun and laughter - we love visiting the Green Skills Library - it's so inspirational!
