Five GoodGymers (and one Tess the dog) helped promote “Friends of Kingston Rec” to the local community. They did a really good clean up job too with some litter picking around the park, which involved collecting a lot of broken mirror pieces, 4 sacks of rubbish, and two bags of recycling. They were helped by some enthusiastic locals who managed to find the much coveted pair of pants! Is it even a litter pick if you don’t find an item of clothing?! Teamwork made the dream work getting the gazebo down in what must be a record breaking time! Then to make the most of the sunshine post mission, Jen & Ellie popped to the beach to finish off with a quick dip.

We quickly got to work picking up litter around the pond. It seemed fairly clean. Mostly cigarette butts, sweets wrappers, a sock and dog poo.

Lovely nature photographs taken during the task. Thanks to Lucy and Mel

Another Saturday morning spent on the great salterns, cheering on all those that made it out for a morning run! This week I was on tokens which isn’t so bad when there’s only 62 participants however I still had to do a few little runs of my own, chasing people down to take a token and not mess it up for the run director! Gets my steps in..

Massive well done to everyone who came out tonight, there should be a double cheer button just for you, along with some kind of kudos for freezing your buns on an outdoor task!

The weather was not our friend, freezing rain and bitter wind but planters were moved, pumpkin patches were dug, leaves and soil were raked, graffiti was given another scrub.

We went as fast as we could so we were able to run/cycle/walk home and get dry and warm as soon as possible. Unfortunately it did mean we only had a very short time to give Katie L her 200 good deeds t-shirt.

The squirrel garden is looking good and the area for the tomahawk set up is ready. Great work!

So you can go and cheer everyone to celebrate their dedication for coming along here's the full list of folk who gave up their time tonight: Ellie, Katie C-R, Tony, Jo, Jen, Lynn, Aoife, Dave, Ola, Katie L

6 Goodgymers helped dig over new flower beds and plan the layout of the new squirrel garden. It was Ola's first session and he got stuck in in his Goodgym t-shirt showing himself to be one of us already!
