9 GoodGymers helped out at the Community Allotment this evening. We had lots of tasks on our list. Angela and Gillian weeded around the chard and Welsh onions, Mike took on the Rhubarb bed and Anne-Laure and Rachel weeded around the figs and raspberries. Georgeta and Angela planted the potatoes in some old recycling boxes, in a lovely mix of horse manure and reclaimed topsoil. Amy and Sarah started pricking out some of the seedlings growing in the smart new greenhouse, giving them all a bit more space to grow. Angela made sure everything was given a good water. Great work by the red T-shirted team on a beautiful spring evening

Four GoodGymers headed out in their neighbourhoods for a breath of fresh air and to pick up litter. Viv and Angela were assisted by Flora the dog who enjoyed sniffing out hidden litter in bushes and catching the odd abandoned glove!A wooden tribal statue watched with interest from someones driveway. Carys enjoyed a luchtime screen break and collected a whole bag in Oldfield. Sarah tackled the Cookham litter, there was so much that she couldn't carry it all home!

Five GoodGymers put their gardening skills to the test planting tree saplings at Altwood School. The Woodland Trust donated the trees to increase biodiversity and to improve the school environment. After some discussion the dogwood, rosewood, rowan and hawthorns were planted along the fence borders and watered. Three crab apple trees were planted outside some classrooms to create some shade on the summer. A satisfying and productive evening!

6 Goodgymmers met in the rain at Wessex Primary School.

We have previously visited and helped remove old planters, but today's task was shifting the rubber woodchip from the car park to the playarea.

In true Goodgym style we rose to the task and with only one wheelbarrow employed the use of a wheelie bin and a smaller bin!! Verdict....great alternatives!!

We smashed out the task in 45mins which left time for a photo op and a play on the adventure trail!

Caretaker Andrew is looking for more tasks so we can return to help out again!!
