Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
Lifting and shifting did you say All Saints Junior School? Absolutely, we twelve GoodGymmers say back!
We arrived on foot (run and walk variety) and cycles to tackle the lockers that needed moving out of the corridors. And in no time all lockers were neatly tucked away into various classrooms.
With time on hand, we went at the small courtyard overrun with weeds. How many GoodGymmers does it take to trim a hedge? Let's see who can find the answer in the photos!
Weeding and trimming done, compost bins filled, we said hearty goodbyes and went off into the rainbow (while the sun went missing).

10 GoodGym members made their way to the Riverside family hub to help spruce up their garden area and find and mend a hole in their pond
We jumped straight in and within minutes weeds were being removed, areas were being raked over, the decking was being swept and the pond was being emptied
A whole yellow hippo bag was soon filled to the brim and the garden area was looking spic and span ready to be used by all the children
Sheila - a lady of many talents reshaped the pond so there would be no more leaks and once the stones were replaced the pond was refilled ready for new(t) pond life to come and visit
Once we had tidied up we hopped on over to the table where there was cake and cheers to celebrate Angela hitting an amazing 50 tasks- well done Angela!, Let’s hope there is more cause to celebrate after the England game!

An ode to GoodGym by Nicola and Amy who took inspiration from Coldplay at Glastonbury
Look at those (GoodGym) stars Look how they shine for you With lots of jobs to do Like painting blocks yellow They came along And brought a dog for you Had lots of things to do Like painting blocks all yellow
Instead of being at Glasto, 8 GoodGym hero’s rocked up to Holyport FC where we set up camp and started on the long list of tasks
Amy was on the main pyramid stage painting her yellow brick road (steps) while others started on the blocks
Tony was in his element with a wide choice of gardening equipment, and proceeded to the Other stage where he strimmed his way round all areas in need of a good tidy up
The remaining GoodGymers took the legends slot and spent their time cutting back overgrown hedges and taking an abundance of grass cuttings from behind the goal area, depositing them in the earmarked area
Snacks a plenty were provided and once everything had been tidied up, we made our way back home to put our feet up. Until next time!

Sophie, Viv, Gillian, Angela and Georgeta joined me this evening to walk 2.5km to an SSSI near Bray Marina, where the rare Pennyroyal plant makes its home.
Our task was to pull up invasive thistles, and also Ragwort, which makes the land unsafe for some grazing animals.
The grazing animals we were expecting were on holiday (apparently being tested for TB) and it seemed like they might have moo-ved our for a while, as the site was very overgrown...
...which might not have been what our Nature Bureau task owner expected, but it did mean the field looked really beautiful, wildflowers (including the Pennyroyal thankfully) were thriving and there were many happy minibeasts around.
The thistles and ragwort were fairly stubborn, probably thanks to the hot weather and dry ground, but armed with special thistle removal tools, we removed enough to create a couple of big heaps.
We also found that although there were loads of thistles, there wasn't much Ragwort. Perhaps thanks to GoodGym's efforts Ragwort pulling last year?
This site is always a lovely place to help out on a Summer's evening. We hope to return again in August, so keep a look out for more listings like this(tle) one!
