The wind wasn’t going to stop the Goodgymers from turning up at Shrewsbury House. We gathered here today tasked with cleaning a room in preparation for a wedding. We got brooms and mops, to have and to hold, and before long we had mopped, swept, dusted and wiped every inch, until we finally pronouncing the room spotless.

When the happy couple arrives for their wedding they will find the hall not just clean, but Goodgym clean. Before disappearing into the windy night for our clean getaway, we’d like send our best wishes to the happy couple, and suggest one of the following songs for the first dance:

Something about the way you mop tonight

We will mop you

Another one sweeps the dust

Mopping really matters

Dusting in the dark

Mop it like it’s hot

I love you dust the way you are

Sweep me baby one more time

Should I spray or should I go

Oops!… I cleaned it again

Dancing Clean

Dusting on the ceiling

Don’t mop me now!

Mopping Compares 2 U

Clean on me

Smells like clean spirit

Moptown girl

Dustpan and wife

Participants gathered at the meeting point for a brief orientation. Gloves, waste bags, and basic cleaning tools were distributed and we all walked to the task point. The activity focused on removing litter, debris, and waste materials from the designated area.Litter, plastics, bottles, papers, and other waste materials were collected. All waste was properly bagged and disposed of at the designated collection point. The dirt‑picking exercise contributes to improve cleanliness, and create a safer environment for residents.

With our trusty area activator away in different slopes, it was down to Julian to lead the run up to the Albany. We gathered in our usual starting point and were joined by Amine, making his GoodGym debut. Welcome Amine, hope to see you again soon!

After a quick warm up, we made our way to the task at a brisk pace, meeting a couple of the group as we arrived. Our brief for the evening was the usual litter pick and weeding, though we were warned there wasn't much of either. But, in true GG spirit, we searched high and low and did manage to fill a big bin bag!

After a group photo and some more of the flowers (Spring really is coming!), we ran back and finished off with a thorough stretch session! Well done, team!
