A fantastic team of 10 Goodgymers whizzed through a range of tasks at the kennels. Together we painted one side of a cable reel (we'll need to come back to do the other side), weeded the entrance area and cut back brambles in the exercise area.

Afterwards we were treated to greetings from a gorgeous resident who charmed us all and made sure everyone got a cuddle!

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!
