Seven Goodgymers walked, cycled and swam our way to Coffee Tots at The Wave to do the opposite of what we did in December - take down all of the Christmas decorations - just in time for twelfth night!

We made swift progress with the decorations, trying to make sure the lights don't get tangled, wrapping up the stockings and carefully packing away the Christmas village until December 2026. After we finished, we had time for a new year catch up and enjoyed some yummy snacks cooked by Nigel, roasties, sausage rolls and parsnip and apple soup!

Same time next week?

Nine GoodGymers visited Carriers of Hope,

We joined Steph, Gloria, and Emmanuel to sort through heaps and heaps of donated toys into neat age groups. From dolls to diggers, board games to books – every donation a perfect gift, with some amazing fun toys for the children to choose from!

It was a great turnout, and everyone pitched in to organise and prepare everything, lightening the load for the Carriers of Hope crew. Good work, everyone! 🙌

Not quite what the pun suggests !

On a wet Friday evening, the Knights of the Round Table Kenilworth were out doing their yearly rounds as Santa's little helpers – part of 20 days of collecting money for charities and spreading Christmas cheer. Santa visited Kenilworth folk in his sleigh, playing Christmas songs and meeting the children. I joined members of the Earlsdon Running Club and the Knights of the Round Table, knocking on doors and collecting for good causes. It was a wonderful evening that really gets you into the Christmas spirit, and we raised £410.20! Awesome effort from everyone 🙌

9 Goodgymers made their way to Coffee Tots at The Wave to support with their Christmas preparations!

Our first task was to sort food donations into different categories so that the next team of volunteers can make up Christmas food parcels for local families. Then we moved on to hanging the Christmas decorations in the café, and were treated to some delicious festive snacks as we worked, those roasties were delish! We received a thanks from the Coffee Tots director and have been invited back in January to take the decorations down again (and have some more snacks!).

WelcomeManjit to Goodgym!

Great turn out tonight, thanks to everyone who made it out to help. Fantastic effort with approx 1200 leaflets delivered in 40 minutes!

Thanks to Graeme and Nigel who have taken extra leaflets to deliver locally to them.

Hope you have all warmed up and can feel you fingers again, brrrrrr!
