Look on the white side

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Mandy Driver

Tonight GoodGym Windsor ๐Ÿ‘‘we were back at the Spencer Denney Centre for Age Concern.

Getting there:- Jen walked from The Binoy. Mandy walked from home Adam drove as he had a long journey afterwards.

The task owner Rachel showed us the room we were needed for to repaint the ceiling in the IT room white for a freshen up.

After a few logistic discussions, masking up the edges, stirring the paint, placing dust covers strategically we got on the dance music and settled into painting our chosen ceiling zones being careful to not leave any gaps and not get white drips on the previously painted walls. Twas a bit tricky!

As we got going the chat started, discussing subjects from strange films to sick days from work ๐Ÿคฃ not sure how we linked these subjects but we did ๐Ÿคฃ

Jen did a bit of face painting ๐Ÿคฃ Adam was as precise as ever ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผand Mandy not quite a precise ๐Ÿ˜ฌbut we made good progress in our little trio. We patched up a few areas of the wall as well but were a tad worried as it looked a much darker than the current colour ๐Ÿ˜ฌ fingers crossed it dries lighter ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Jen started to wash the brushes and trays while Adam and Mandy did the last bit so we had completed half the ceiling by the end of the session which was good going in the time we had.

We had a bit of a chat with the task owner before leaving.

Then we nearly forgot the Windsor curtsy and bow ๐Ÿ˜ฑas we were too busy discussing chocolate choices as Adam had kindly brought some for Mandy โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿซ yummy ๐Ÿ˜‹

We said goodbyes and made our separate ways home including Adam who is off to Wales!

Thank you for helping ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A prickly situation!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Mandy Driver

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonight we were just off the Maidenhead Road in Windsor on a committed mission. The long pathway had got so overgrown that the access to the houses that were occupied by the elderly residents was proving difficult.

Getting there:- Jen and Didem walked from The Binoy. Bekah, Helen and Mandy ran from home. Sue and Adam met us there.

Sue and Adam made an amazing head start ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿปalongside Helen by the time the other walkers/runners had arrived and Sue had luckily taken some before photos in the light ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ“ธ . They had chopped then filled a huge bag full of cuttings. The rest of us needed to catch up so we got our gloves on and chose a tool from Sueโ€™s mobile shed ๐Ÿคฃ we had quite a long stretch to cover so we took an area and cut back what we could. Lots of spikey brambles, stinging nettles etc but we battled well.

We had a chat about our days/weeks while we worked and Bekah multi tasked as she was also the photographer ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

The sunset a dry evening was lovely but darkness was soon upon us and despite our torches we couldnโ€™t continue as it was so dark along the passage and we were running out of bags.

We dragged the bags to the main road for the council to collect.

Fortunately (or unfortunately however you prefer to look at it ๐Ÿคฃ) there was time to do a quick workout. Jen had a challenge to do squats today so the traffic passing by got a good view ๐Ÿคฃ

Not forgetting the Windsor curtsy and bow before we partly walked together before going our separate ways home.

Thank you for coming. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Clean as the final whistle

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonight we are back at Windsor and Eton FC CIC.

Getting there:- Jen, Sara and Adam walked from The Binoy. Mandy and Bekah ran from West Windsor.

Mark the task owner met us with all the cleaning materials and showed us the referees changing room. Our task was to clean it. ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿซง๐Ÿงฝ and boy did it need it! ๐Ÿซฃ GG Cleaning Services to the rescue ๐Ÿคฃ

Mandy started by sweeping all the cobwebs ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธand debris from the ceiling and worked her way down before scrubbing the shower. Bekah got the cleaning playlist on and then attacked the window. Sara took the toilet area (brave lady) , Adam the offside โšฝ๏ธ paintwork and tiles and Jen the area behind the door that was mouldy.

By the end it smelled much better and it did look better and ready for some repairs and decorating.

We were a bit cosy in there but it was a great team effort not helped by the rain and muddy prints on Bekahโ€™s clean floor ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿงน

Just about got a selfie in and we did our curtsy and bow and said our goodbyes.

Thank you for being great sports!

We-ed Clenched It!!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Mandy Driver

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Adam, Zoe and Didem met Mandy at the task where Mandy had just met the task owner Daniel.

For tonights community mission we were back at Achieving for Children - Family Hub Service in Hanover Way.

Twas a dark and stormy ๐ŸŒ‘๐Ÿ’จnight on our first visit but even then the Windsor GGs did lots to clear the area and weed etc but we couldnโ€™t paint the bench so we were back to finish the job on a sunny autumn evening โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ

Sue had previously laid some grass seed which had taken well so we trimmed that but some pesky weeds had grown back so Didem and Mandy tackled those first in the grass, the steps and front of the building while Adam and Zoe rubbed down the bench and step. Then it was time to paint after having a good inspection of each paint pot for the best consistency and giving it a good stir with a trusty stick found by Didem.

It is a small area but there was no standing still. Oh no instead while waiting there was squatting, lunging and plenty of โ€˜guess if my bum ๐Ÿ‘ is clenched or not clenchedโ€™ game ๐Ÿคฃ lots of chit chat and an update on the latest phone tech from Adam.

After the task there was a game of beach ball catch to play and a couple of rounds of jumping jacks to improve our butts.

Donโ€™t forget those before and afters photos ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿคฃ and letโ€™s see the results next year!

We handed back to the task owner the brushes and paint and said our goodbyes with a curtsy and bow.

Thank you all for the giggles ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ and completed task!

Deliver - rain and bow ๐ŸŒˆ

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Tonights community mission we were back at one of our regular task venues Age Concern, The Spencer Denney Centre.

Our task was leafleting to raise awareness of the centre and fundraising so the GG postie trio Caroline , Bekah and Mandy got walking along the Clewer Hill Road, Rycroft, Duncroft and Perrycroft.

The rain showers at first made us sad ๐Ÿคฃ but it speeded us up ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ and we had to hug ourselves to protect the leaflets from getting wet ๐Ÿ’ฆ and soggy.

But the beautiful sky, sunset ๐ŸŒ…and rainbow ๐ŸŒˆ made us happy ๐Ÿ˜€ to be out and about.

Lots of chats about our days, family etc as we went along.

We had no leaflets left so we made our way back to the centre, did the Windsor curtsy and bow then made our way home.

Thank you Caroline and Bekah for your help and braving the weather. ๐Ÿ“ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Tonights community mission was for the beautiful Alexander First School which was surprisingly dry despite the storms all afternoon.

We met task owner Adrienn at the school gates and made our way across the stunning school grounds for the task brief.

Didem, Amy and Mandy started with filing the sand pit using sand delivered to the car park area and transporting three wheel barrows full across the field before joining Sheila and Helen who were checking out the main task at the forest school.

We had a pile of wood chips to disperse into the forest and along the pathway and play areas to prepare for the winter mud.

It was really physical and so satisfying seeing the pike of wood chips going down and the path way being developed. We shared stories of our week and holidays while we worked.

Once that pile was all gone , wood you believe it, we had a second pile to tackle in the other forest school area . Now that involved up hill negotiations and we did well not to slip over with our loads. Helen did have a little topple of her barrow filling but โ€˜chip ๐Ÿ’ฉ happens! ๐Ÿคฃโ€™ and it was scooped back in.

The night was drawing in and we were working on barrowed time. So we had our team photo and returned the tools to the storage area.

We celebrated our valued friend-chip, said our goodbyes and perfectly demonstrated the Windsor curtsy and bow ๐Ÿ‘‘

Thank you all for coming!

Tonights community mission was for a bit different and the weather didnโ€™t disappoint!

We were at The Pirate Park doing litter picking as our primary task but with some GoodGym awareness thrown in giving out leaflets and a social game of rounders and gathering of to celebrate our achievements so far in Windsor.

We would have loved to have had more of you there but we do appreciate everyoneโ€™s help since Jan and dedication to Windsorโ€™s good causes to huge ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป to you all!

Thank you also today to Pippa for her very first GoodGym session. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘‘

ANDโ€ฆ.. Sheila for her 703rd task ! ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

We all met at The Pirate Park Caroline, Marilyn, Bekah, Jen, Sara, Mandy, Devon, Sheila and Pippa swept the park with litter pickers on our way to the far side where we were to play rounders.

We handed out some GoodGym Windsor leaflets to some runners and walkers in the park.

We set out the nibbles from The Binoy and got some music on. We decided on our rounders teams (Team Bhajis and Team Samosa) and set up the game. Weโ€™ll be honest it wasnโ€™t very organised or indeed very fair ๐Ÿ˜ฌ but we all had a go and we all tried our best.

Pippa did a bit more litter picking and Devon and Mandy and Marilyn had a run around the field.

The others started on the Indian nibbles and cakes and eventually we all regrouped for a catch up.

Thank you all for coming ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ you are all litter-ally the best!
