Make a start on a new sensory garden

Unexpected quotes from the craft session at MAKE...
'Oh no, it's come out through her forehead!' (Jen making a hole in a tiny Russian doll); 'I'll hang it in my garden and say hello to Roy Castle every morning' (Jen making a garden mobile incorporating a Tapathon medal); 'I've wedged the holes with lard' (Yvonne designing an ingenious bird-feeder).
In summary, we used finds from the beach and the countryside, as well as giving a second-use to wine-corks, charity shop beads and litter-pick finds to create bird-feeders and hanging mobiles for the garden.
A mindful, artistic 2 hours with delicious MAKE refreshments.

Our task tonight was very in-keeping with the GoodGym colour scheme - painting a wall bright red and glossing skirting boards and door frames black!
Catherine, Katie and Laura were Team Red (after Jen was demoted after making a mess), whilst Andy and Dave headed up Team Black.
Tracey undertook a mid-task mission to buy some additional paintbrushes from Asda to make sure we finished the job.
Laura and Catherine ended up in a bizarre big broom / little broom sweep-off, with Catherine creating the new squat-sweeping technique.
We'll be back in the Pantry in a few weeks to finish what we started - will be great to see you there!

After a short-notice RD shift, Jen recruited Dave, Nia and Tracey answered her call to help with filling the roster. We also got to celebrate the first outing of Nia's black GG t-shirt - nice one, Nia!
Mini GGer Jack was planning to run, but after deciding he didn't really fancy it (we've all been there, Jack!) he and Laura got stuck into Token Sorting, which was a great help!
Whilst taking our GG photo at the end of the session, fellow Eastney Juniors RD Rob disclosed he's been signed up to GoodGym for years, but never made a session. So, he has now officially completed his first Good Deed - hopefully the first of many!
