Six GoodGymers got together at Ray Mill Island to tackle a variety of tasks. While Mick moved some rocks around to edge the path, everyone else started weeding the heliotrope from the rockery. Once the wheelbarrow was free, Jen and Sheila went to get some compost to fill the GoodGym planters. Anna and Mick dug out some old hedging plants while Anne-Laure and Christine heroically continued with the weeding. Lastly a hawthorn tree was carefully dug out and transplanted to the nursery area. Well done to everyone

Despite the rainy January weather, 7 GoodGymers spent (almost) an hour helping to keep the alleys and streets of Larchfield rubbish-free. Thanks to all who joined!

7 lovely goodgym members made their way back to Wessex primary school to finish off the task we started before Christmas

We made quick work of the remaining beds and Jess expertly erected a pear tree in its new location

The rain was just a slight drizzle, but it didn’t deter the hardy Goodgym members

With the soil moved, pear tree erected and the area swept we made our way home!

Another successful task ticked off

14 GoodGymers turned out for the first Wednesday night session of the year to help the wonderful Green Skills Library. Kudos to Jess for leading a group to run from the Community Centre to get to the task. It was great to welcome Monnish for his first ever task and Sinead for her second. We were met by our Taskowner Donna who led us down into the old Smokeys Nightclub. It evoked some good memories for some! One group sorted the donated fabrics into types, so that they can be re-used in community projects. We came across some fabulous and interesting fabrics. One person's rags is another person's riches, and Donna is certainly determined to use the riches stored in that room for the good of the community. Another group sorted the stationery, creating order from chaos. The hour just flew by, and great progress was made. Thanks to Amy for the impromptu arm press-up session to help warm everyone up
