After the parade took us to the Pride festival site, we donned our pickers and set about looking for treasure. A lot of colourful non-natural feathers were about, plenty of ciggie ends and a bunch of very helpful people who used our litter bags as bins rather than leaving it for us to grab. One unfortunate ice cream cone had made it's match with the floor and a few stickers that even the pickers struggled to relinquish from the grass! But with full bags, an enjoyment of the entertainment and a look around the stalls made for a pleasant task in the basking sunshine.

6 Goodgymers danced, clapped and marshalled their ways along the Portsmouth Pride Parade. We wore our rainbows and envied the tassled high viz whilst ensuring the public didn't get run over by drag queens or mown down by marching drummers. The parade was fabulous as always and goodgym love was felt by all.

We had a great bank holiday get together to celebrate all things GG Portsmouth in the past 5 years.

Thanks to all who attended and a huge thank you to everyone who organised and contributed to my gifts, it was very unexpected but much appreciated. GG Portsmouth are the best!

The rain held off for The Big Help Out mission to clean off graffiti at the Gibson Centre.

Robert had returned much to Jens disappointment.

Huge thanks to Catherine for getting the wipes from Portsmouth City Council and generally organising people. She wore her crown proudly!

Chief scrubber goes to Tom on his first GG mission.

Stephen Morgan MP got slightly more than he bargained for when litter picking. But showed yet again how he isn't afraid to get his hands and face dirty 😂.

With the help of the Portsmouth 10th scout group. The drains were cleared of soil. So they actually drain!

Huge congratulations to Dave on his 50th mission!
