Tonight, we took to the crown green for a splendid game of bowls, hosted by Scott, his son James and the Chairman Dave. With their expert guidance, we embarked on a journey to find out more about this classic sport. We each picked our own bowl—varying in size and weight—and dove into the challenge. Some of us rolled with ease, while others discovered that aiming for the Jack is trickier than it seems. As we took our turns, the laughter and friendly competition flowed freely. It was fun to try something different and was enjoyed by everyone.

As the bowling season is coming to an end we will see if we can test out our skills again in the spring and they may have a task or 2 for us to help out with too.

Thank you for a lovely night everyone :)

Jackie and Nigel joined forces with Claire at Willow Brook to give some well-worn planters and seating a vibrant makeover. They applied bright, weather-resistant paints to not only shield them from the elements but also enhance their visual appeal.

Great job on revitalizing the space!

Six Coventry Goodgymers (including one newbie - welcome Andy went to Baby Godiva to help with unloading vans to Baby Godiva's shiny new premises.

When the vans arrived, we made quick work of unloading and moving items to different locations in the new space, including buggies, moses baskets, toys and clothes. Whilst we waited for another van to appear, we sorted the mountain of nappies into different sizes, stocked up the shelves with baby bath products, wipes and other essentials, and recycled the cardboard boxes.

Baby Godiva were really pleased with what we were able to do, we hope to be back soon for some more sorting fun!

4 Goodgymers made there way to a house in Earlsdon . Andy the owner had decided to kindly donate a greenhouse to Zen / Lakeside Lake view.

The Greenhouse was at the bottom of his beautiful garden and we needed to take it all down and load it into the van and take it to Zen. This was no easy task as it it was tricky work carefully removing panels and Labeling as we went .

Graeme, Jackie and Nigel did an excellent job removing the panels and clips! Like seasoned professionals, We were up against it for time and the heat, although glorious, made it that extra bit challenging.
We were accompanied by the lovely Esther who helping with labeling and arranging the glass ready for James to take to the van.

The Greenhouse was that well put together that it would require a second visit, as the base was pegged and concreted in!

Most of the Greenhouse was taken and off loaded at Zen Garden stored carefully, ready to put back together at some stage .

Another task for Goodgym maybe?!
