It was round two tonight helping Friends Of Boscombe Chine Gardens. The runners Graeme, Mohammed, Janet, Daryl and Caprice ran to the session with Charlotte arriving by foot. Last time the team painted the front of the community cabin, tonight's task was to paint the sides. Firstly, the group got to work dusting away the cobwebs and prepping prior to staining the wood. Once prepped Daryl, Charlotte and Caprice got to work painting one side and Mohammed, Graeme and Janet got stuck in painting the other side. With six GoodGymers, Jane and Rosemary working hard, it didn't take long until both sides were finished. Just the back of the cabin to stain, we shall return on Tuesday 27th August to finish the job. We hope to see you there!

Seven Goodgymmers, Millie, Emma, Sophie, Mohammed, Roger, Keith and Lea, got together to help Patsy and Scott of the Dorset Children’s Foundation. Well… got together was not actually the word: we were split up, three at Pokesdown and four at the new premises in the Sovereign Centre. At Pokesdown Roger and Lea loaded a van with office furniture, crates of stuff and bags, while Keith did his favourite thing, unscrewing a huge desk. Once loaded, we went to the other site, but that sounded easier than it was. WHERE, oh where, did we have to be? Luckily we found out where to go and, more importantly, where everyone was. Then the unloading started. That was actually such a quick job that Lea got Patsy to give us some other jobs. She was mighty pleased when the girls helped with painting the bathroom, with Mohammed looking like a professional sanding down a cupboard. Roger and Lea also joined in the painting. With five of us there it was done in no time. And Keith?! He had the important task of trying out this wonderful hanging seat. Patsy was happily surprised at how we got on with things and is already thinking of other tasks we can do. Thanks everyone for your help!!
