Tonight we welcomed Hannah to GoodGym for first time and we also had Joanne come along who was visiting from GG Exeter.

Four of the group ran to the task from the Good Intent and the others met us at the session. Laura warmly greeted us and it was on with the task.

We had to fill wooden frames with compost then cover the area around them with woodchipping, hence the pun thought up by James. Well actually we didn't just 'chip away' at the task in the end, we completed the whole thing! It was a really great job done which Laura more than appreciated :)

Once done it was time for a group photo then the group scattered, some running and some walking.

Eve had a refreshing, breezy run from the city centre down the canal to Selly Oak train station. I was ready with 150 Goodgym flyers for us to distribute between us. Off we went and covered big student streets like Dartmouth Road, Hubert Road, Heeley Road and Exeter Road! An hour or so in and we were done.

Slightly soggy stomp around Selly Oak, but the friendly local vibe and good chats kept our spirits high! Eve’s mission kept her streak going and it took me nicely over my daily 10,000 steps target.

📮🌟 Look out for our next Goodgym flyering mission soon!

We had a great session at St. Martin’s Church, with 6 of us sanding and painting the lower ground corridor. It was brilliant to welcome Javis and Zoe, both doing their first mission with Goodgym! Some of us rolled the wider wall spaces, some brushed paint into those nooks and crannies, while others had the ceilings covered! Fantastic team effort with the whole corridor looking fresh with a full first coat of paint by the end of the mission. 😊

Great task all set up and ready by Karen when I arrived! Lots of fun climbing ladders into the attic to help clear dust and bits of debris. I got going soon after 6pm and Thomas arrived for the second half, for his first ever Goodgym session!

Carpets were swept, odds and ends were cleared with litter pickers and roof panels were lightly vacuumed!

Fascinating building and such a welcoming team - lots to get stuck in with and it was great to help the team get started with this attic task.
