Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Angela Shaw
Twelve goodgymers delved through nettles and thistles to reach the pesky balsam and remove it before it self seeded. Will and Victoria joined in the work like seasoned pros plucking, snapping and making piles of the unwanted plant. Everyone worked hard together to explore the undergrowth and weed those hard to reach areas. A satisfying task and great teamwork! Flora the dog created some much needed entertainment and distraction!

10 Goodgymers gave an out-sanding effort tonight helping Norden Farm prepare their beach for the Summer.
12 x 1 ton bags of sand had been delivered earlier in the day, caught on camera by Amy.
Many hands definitely did make light work tonight, leaving time for us to celebrate lovely Tessa's fantastic 100th good deed.
As usual we presented a medal, ate cake baked by the wonderful Amy who also recited another one of her awesome poems:
Lots of us met Tessa on a GoodGym good deed, But I first got to know her whilst planning the Big Read.
She’s brainy with words and knows an adverb from a noun. She’s looked forward to this poem, so I mustn’t let her down.
‘Where would she go for inspo?’ I thought to myself And headed to the library, and books upon the shelf
I found heroines and superstars from cover to cover But none as brilliant as Tessa, the GoodGym Bingo lover…
When Tessa’s given a Bingo card, it’s like a magic wand It gives her wings to do great things in January and beyond.
Roahl Dahl’s little heroes had chocolate and a peach But 100 GoodGym good deeds were well out of their reach.
Never mind Red Riding Hood, three pigs or bears Tessa Allanson carried bicycles up stairs!
Forget Ingalls Wilder, forget about Heidi! Tessa helped us make the nature garden tidy!
Potter, Grainger, Weasley move aside! Tessa Allanson helped make the path more wide
Hal Beck never solved a cemetery mystery But Tessa battled ivy to reveal Spital’s history
Whilst the Famous Five drank ginger beer in Kirrin Island fort Tessa did a litter pick and wrote the run report!
Austen’s protaganists had sense and sensibility but Tessa marshals parkrun with energy and agility!
Frodo and Samwise might be legends now But I bet they’ve never been to GoodGym in Slough!
So what if Mary Poppins made the medicine go down? Tessa teaches kids to read all over town!
It may sounds like fiction, but this is a fact Tessa Allanson is a proper class act.
So put your hands together for the star of our story Tessa, deserving of all the cake and glory!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Amy L GoodGym (she/her)
We had loads of fun this morning helping the Pinkneys Green Scouts pack up their kit for camp. We arrived in the rain, but spirits were not dampened. Far from feeling tent-ative, happy campers Sol, Jess, Viv, Jen and I were all ready to pitch in!
Jess deserved an ice cream after arranging all the safety cones and Viv had an in tents experience carrying canvas and poles.
Having two left hand gloves didn't stop Jen from carrying all the right things.
From toilets to tables, cooking equipment to backpacks - we helped shift it all from the hut to the lorry. It was a lorry lorry fun and a good workout too.
Sol also saved the day when there was an oil spill in one of the fridges. She said, 'Oil sort that out!' and set to work. She's not afraid of a bit of (t)oil.
Thanks to PG Scouts for having us! Lovely to meet Scout leader James and lots of Scout families, who were also helping. We hope to return on the morning of Friday 1st August to unpack the lorry when the Scouts return. Save the date now!
