Pinder Hall to Paintings Hall

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Its nearly time for the annual Cookham Art Exhibition at Pinder Hall, and 4 GoodGymers went to help the organisers set up for the first phase - Art Submission. Wendy, our taskowner had a detailed plan of what needed to go where, so all we had to do was get the right things in the right places. We moved chairs, tables, boards, frames, posts, posters and hooks until it was all in the correct place, ready for tomorrow. Then it's over to the Sunday team for phase 2!

One night sand...

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Slough runner

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!

Ivy there yet?

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Diya Singh (she/her)

Six goodGymers met in Desborough Park on a warm summer evening. The ground had been baked solid so the task had changed from digging a garden bed to cutting ivy and litter picking. The task owner was suddenly taken ill so couldn't make it. There we were, clueless and directionless but in true GoodGym fashion, we made something out of nothing!

Angela and Viv got started on litter picking, accompanied by the very clever Flora (the way she persisted to find that tennis ball inside the dense bush was applause worthy!). Jess, Kanika and Diya got started on trimming the ivy around the community centre building. Joanne from Wild Maidenhead and Councillor Jack advised we cut the stems 1.5mt from the ground and the tops would just wither and fall off. Jack and Joanne then proceeded to water the beds at the top of the park.

Kanika set high standards with an impressive, clear line where she had cut the ivy. Jess promptly followed in her footsteps creating an admirable line. Diya definitely came last in this neatness category!

Ivy trimming was hard work - dry, dusty, not easily accessible but we made a fair go at it. Viv and Angela joined us after a round of litter picking and relieved our tired arms.

It might not look like much but we got there in the end!

Bootifull!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Bootifull in so many ways. A van-load of plants that had been used for the show plot at Hampton Court Flower Show needed to be unloaded back at Nature's Haven. Unfortunately the van had broken down in Cookham, but the contents still needed to be brought home. Claire managed to borrow a pick-up truck and arrived at the community centre with the boot full to the brim with plants. Many of the plants were planted in welly boots. Sheila, Angela and Jack helped unload all of the plants of all shapes and sizes. While Angela and Sheila watered them all, Jack and Claire went off for a second load. Eventually they were all off the truck, given a good drink and await planting in their new home

We had a weeding good time!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Louise Tyrell

8 GGers met at the riverside hub to help out with a number of tasks

We all stared work on the weeding, and a huge difference was seen in a short space of time

Weeding out of the way, we moved over to the over side, where decking was swept, brambles were pulled and the sad pond was dismantled ready for a new happy water feature to take its place

Tasks completed, we made our way to the bench where task owner Heather had kindly left a platter of fruit and squash

Hats off to another successfully completed task!
