This was our first Wednesday night GoodGym session since the clocks went forward and it was lovely to enjoy daylight for nearly all of the task!

We got straight to work tackling some weeding, two overgrown buddleia, a wildflower bed, and a very wild rosemary bush.

By the end of the session we'd filled several large green bags with the cuttings from our pruning efforts, and thanks to the rosemary it was one of the best smelling tasks we've ever done!

Four GoodGymers headed out in their neighbourhoods for a breath of fresh air and to pick up litter. Viv and Angela were assisted by Flora the dog who enjoyed sniffing out hidden litter in bushes and catching the odd abandoned glove!A wooden tribal statue watched with interest from someones driveway. Carys enjoyed a luchtime screen break and collected a whole bag in Oldfield. Sarah tackled the Cookham litter, there was so much that she couldn't carry it all home!

Our task owner Adam met with 7 Goodgymmers to hand over 350 leaflets. It was a beautifully warm evening so perfect weather for leaflet dropping.

Sheila may have walked into a bollard, with comic timing. Angela was just remarking that we hadn't come across many dogs, just as Rachel posted a leaflet and there was furious barking from inside. But all fingers remain attached.

Amy said it was a really enjoyable evening and very satisfying to get through all the leaflets. She walked over 5km!

Great work everyone!

Five GoodGymers put their gardening skills to the test planting tree saplings at Altwood School. The Woodland Trust donated the trees to increase biodiversity and to improve the school environment. After some discussion the dogwood, rosewood, rowan and hawthorns were planted along the fence borders and watered. Three crab apple trees were planted outside some classrooms to create some shade on the summer. A satisfying and productive evening!

Two GoodGymers enjoyed a poetry party with a live poet and musican before supervising some craft activities and a treasure hunt. At the end of the day we carefully took down all the bunting and signs ready to store for next year.
