Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Mandy Driver
Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Tonight we were helping The Windsor Boysโ School Boat Club filling potholes along the track and cutting some plants back. The track is used to transport the rowing boats on trailers from their storage areas to the river and potholes can cause damage to the boats.
Bekah and Mandy ran to meet the walkers - Caroline, Didem and Sue at Sutherland Grange and Adam met us at the task.
Ryan our Cox for the evening was at the ready with spades, shovels, rakes, lots of rocks/gravel/stones and some gardening equipment.
Mandy put the noughties dance tunes on the radio . Adam took possession of the wheelbarrow. Sueโs eyes lit up when she heard the word pruning and she was happily lost in the jungle ๐ฟ for a majority of the session. The rest of the crew grabbed a spade and launched into hunting for holes ๐ณ๏ธ and fill with gravel. We made our way from the entrance up the track to the river. Each filled pothole needed stomping down and raking over to get a good level surface. There was a bit of shuttle walking/running going on as we had to get the gravel from the pile and take it to the holes. Lots of exercise for all the group tonight and a lovely view of the Thames and some rowers. Looking back at the completed track was hole- y ful- filling. We had to drag Sue away from the shrubs ( sheโs hardcore!) as it was time for our end of session curtsy.
On the way back we waved at a stranger ๐๐ป thinking it was Adam ๐คฃ the poor man though we were potty ๐
We said our goodbyes and made our way home.
Thank you all as always Windsor GGs ๐ โฅ๏ธ๐๐ป

Will reduce chances of trips and falls for the boys walking down towards the river. Will also reduce the chance of damaging the boats when on the trailer going in or out.

Thursday night at 6:15pm is Goodgym Windsor night ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธand tonight we were helping Age Concern at the Spencer Denney Centre sprucing up their entrances.
This was a community mission so Helen, Mandy and Caroline met at The Binoy on Dedworth Road for a social run or walk to the task and Adam and Didem met us there.
We were met at the centre by task owners Rachel who showed us where everything was and what we needed to prep and paint from blue to a pale sage green. The plan was to make the front entrance bright and welcoming. Lots to do but in true GG style we had no com-paints ๐๏ธ
We got started with masking up the areas we didnโt need to paint or to protect like the tree mural thatโs fasten to the wall. Then with the sugar soap solution cleaning the walls of grease, dust and bits of blue tack etc. Once dried off we chose a roller or brush of choice and got painting. No area was glossed ๐๏ธover
Caroline chose the radio station and Mandy got the tunes on like any tradesperson would! Doing a first coat on all walls and skirting. We chatted and exchanged our news while we worked.
Adam and Helen got a bit emulsion-al ๐๏ธ about their walls but we all thought the finish was perfect.
Didem , Helen and Caroline battled with rinsing and soaking the paint trays , brushes and rollers.
We did get a bit splattered with paint but we just just brushed ๐๏ธ it off ๐คฃ
Looking forward to the second coat and starting the other area next time ๐๐ป
After the task Caroline and Mandy made their way back to the meeting point for goodbyes and the Windsor Curtsy ๐ the others went directly home.
Thank you as always for attending ๐๐ป

Thursday night at 6:15pm is Goodgym Windsor night ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ and tonight our quest was serve Age Concern at the Spencer Denney Centre. Itโs the 29th Feb so we went leap yearing into this swashbuckling adventure.
Just like the tale we were three Adam, Helen and Mandy being briefed on our duty by task owner Rachel, then Caroline joined us for her 10th time for the leaf scooping and compost bin squishing!
We all wielded our rakes and acted with valour then the battle commenced.
Adam and Helen took many loads of leaves minding the boggy grass. While Caroline and Mandy started work at the top level sorting plants that had been hidden by the fallen leaves.
The garden was cleared ready to see what plants had made it through the winter months.
Mandy made a period drama of the team photo and locking the building up but Helen was a loyal companion and so a happy ending was made. We ended with a honouree round of HIIT before making our way home.
All for one and one for all โ๏ธ
Thank you as always for coming! ๐๐ป I love our vibe and always feel better for seeing you all โฅ๏ธ

Thursday night at 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor night ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ and tonight we were at an over grown pathway that residents want to have some meadow flowers to attract more bees ๐and butterflyโs ๐ฆ and basic-alley look pretty for all to see! Oh which we had great em - path-y
Devon and Mandy met at The Binoy, Dedworth Road our usual meeting point to run ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ to the task and the others Caroline, Sheila, Sue, Adam and Sheila met at us the task poised and ready to go. A huge welcome to Sue on her first Goodgym task ๐๐ป
We met the task owners Karen and Margaret who explained the task and as there was no time to dilly d-alley we set to work at either end of the pathway.
Sheila, Sue and Margaret attacked the brambles and overgrown shrubs at the Princess Ave end and the others made the path wider by digging down into the soil and removing the earth into bags for collection at St Leonardโs Road end.
We actually ( ok I know that these are not officially alley) ๐คฃ did very well helped by all the rain today but it kept dry for us ๐๐ป but we will need to return soon to finish the job.
Once the time was drawing to a close we swept up and some carried (Mandy was a bit pathetic at this) or dragged the full bags to a collection area. They were a bit heavy so we may need an osteo-path ๐คฃ โฆ. Not really only kidding.
After the task we all said goodbyes did a quick Windsor curtesy and bow ๐ and made our way home.
Thank you to everyone for coming ๐๐ปโฅ๏ธ
