Thanks to Maidenhead United FC for inviting us to be part of the fun at their annual MacMillan Coffee morning. There was a real buzz as people from the local community came together at the Maidenhead Athletic Club (MAC) clubhouse for a cake feast and lots of activities. We hosted a litter pick and there was also a walking football tournament, a walk round the park, a track session, and did I mention the cake!?
The litter picking group included regular GoodGymers, new GoodGymers, MAC members and walkers. It was great to see such a big turnout and a warm welcome to Lucy and Miranda, who were logging their first GoodGym good deeds.
Extra kudos to Sophie, who ran 10 miles on her way to the session!
We found the usual depressing mix of bottles, cans, plastic wrappers and discarded vapes, plus some bigger items of packaging. The Braywick Road offered particularly rich pickings. We were determined not to let us get it down though - we made a positive difference and that's something to celebrate.

Dave earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.
Dave completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Dave was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.
Tuesday 30th January
Dave has done their first good deed with GoodGym.
Dave is a now a fully fledged GoodGym runner. They've just run to do good for the first time. They are out there making amazing things happen and getting fit at the same time.

GoodGymers and our friends at MAC have good soles - too many really! So we've had a clear out, but rather than put those extra shoes in the bin, we are giving them the chance to survive and be useful with charity Jog On.
We hope those that are in good nick can have many a happy run on their new owners' feet, and the few that are too beaten up for running will be shredded and used to produce fuel.
Well done to everyone who collected/donated and an extra cheer for Dave - he was joining us for the first time, and he donated more shoes than anyone else.
