After the May Fayre, St Mary's Church found themselves in possession of four abandoned gazebos. Despite trying to reunite them with their owners, they remained unclaimed.

GoodGym were called in to test them all out to check they were fully-functioning and in decent condition. After testing they were structurally sound, we then donned their little gazebo hats and packed them away for use next spring. One of the four had to be discarded, along with a couple of the bags, but three have joined the ranks for regular use. Interestingly, there were five "hats", so there are even two of those spare for future use.

Despite a complete lack of appropriate terminology ("have you compressed your inner button?" was probably the phrase of the evening), teamwork made the dream work, and our task was complete.

Anna also gave us a run down on an upcoming interactive art installation coming to St Mary's, Stretch, which they are keen to have GoodGym support with. Keep your eyes peeled for more information, which I will share when it come!

The Shining Stars evening walk into the dark is lit by lights, sparkle and happy participants.

GoodGymers supported the walk by marshalling, handing out tea-lights and glitter, and managing the sales desk.

We spent a very pleasant half an hour, in good company cleaning up part of the beautiful Milton Park. We filled three medium-sized bags mostly with small bits of food wrappers and cigarette butts.

4 Goodgymers worked with the little squirrels and Beavers from the 48th Scouts to take part in the Great British Beach Clean. Hats, Table legs and lot of tint plastic was saved from the seas! well done all!

What started out as a simple gazebo build evolved into a full team effort, when the heavier than expected wind gusts took out one of the poles!

Dave did a wonderful job of holding the structure in place, whilst Jane helped brighten up the subtle guy ropes ones we got the gazebo back up and running. Epic work from Paul and Alex of BPA, who with a saw, a plank of wood and some metal stakes got everything structurally sound.

On her way back from a coffee run, Jen found the pastor and his family from City Life Church struggling with their equipment up Tangiers Road, so carried on the good deed by carrying a gazebo for them. Luckily, helping erect theirs was a bit less eventful!
