9 Goodgymers ran, walked and cycled 5km to Spencer Park to assist with tidying the park, ready for warmer weather and more daylight!

Our task for the evening was to give the playground markings a good scrub with brushes and warm soapy water. Although they didn't look too dirty, as soon as we began scrubbing, the dirt lifted to reveal the bright colours of the hopscotch, maze and snake designs. We took it in turns to fill up buckets of water, scrub and hold the lights so others could see what they were doing.

On the way back to the Coventry Boys and Girls Club, we stopped by the statue of James Starley for a 'meet and retreat', running at a moderate effort towards your partner, high fiving and running back. Before stretching, we tried to spell out our names with our toes whilst standing on one leg - a great exercise for developing stability!

7 awesome Goodgymers made their way to Kairos to pick up where we left off 2 weeks ago.

Allan, Liz, Laura and Lil were turning soil, removing rubble and rocks from the earth while Maddie and Laura D were shovelling sand. We filled lots of bags with the unwanted material which Greame wheelbarrowed outside to pile onto the back of a truck. We were joined by other volunteers so we all worked together to try and get as much done as we could.

Before we knew it, time was up! It was some back breaking work so thanks all for your amazing effort, everyone worked their socks off giving 100% right to the end. Hope you all managed to get out of bed ok this morning!

The garden is slowly moving in the right direction and we always look forward to going back to help support the incredible work that Kairos do.

Fab turn out tonight with 9 GoodGymers running to the social supermarket. Great to be back to see all the progress they have made and hear about all the incredible work they are doing. Brilliant to meet James and Annie on their first good deed and loved having the main woman Liz back again - we miss you Liz!

Simon was there to greet us this evening and instruct us on what needed to be done. The task involved the tidying and organising of two rooms so we set straight to it at lightning speed. We split into 2 groups, group one concentrated on the back room (which seemed to have become the room of doom), this needed to be rearranged and cleared to make space for items that group two were sorting in another room.

The team in the back room moved furniture, boxes, ladders and cleaning products to make way for more items. The team in the other rooms were clearing items from cupboards into trollies which including a million plates, fans and tools and these were brought through the newly cleared room.

The operation went really smoothly, everyone worked together so well and we completed the task with time to spare! This is what happens when we have a big group, we get so much done in such a short space of time, it's amazing!

Well done guys! Excellent job!
