Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonight we were just off the Maidenhead Road in Windsor on a committed mission. The long pathway had got so overgrown that the access to the houses that were occupied by the elderly residents was proving difficult.

Getting there:- Jen and Didem walked from The Binoy. Bekah, Helen and Mandy ran from home. Sue and Adam met us there.

Sue and Adam made an amazing head start 💪🏻👏🏻alongside Helen by the time the other walkers/runners had arrived and Sue had luckily taken some before photos in the light 👏🏻📸 . They had chopped then filled a huge bag full of cuttings. The rest of us needed to catch up so we got our gloves on and chose a tool from Sue’s mobile shed 🤣 we had quite a long stretch to cover so we took an area and cut back what we could. Lots of spikey brambles, stinging nettles etc but we battled well.

We had a chat about our days/weeks while we worked and Bekah multi tasked as she was also the photographer 📸👏🏻

The sunset a dry evening was lovely but darkness was soon upon us and despite our torches we couldn’t continue as it was so dark along the passage and we were running out of bags.

We dragged the bags to the main road for the council to collect.

Fortunately (or unfortunately however you prefer to look at it 🤣) there was time to do a quick workout. Jen had a challenge to do squats today so the traffic passing by got a good view 🤣

Not forgetting the Windsor curtsy and bow before we partly walked together before going our separate ways home.

Thank you for coming. 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️

Tonight we are back at Windsor and Eton FC CIC.

Getting there:- Jen, Sara and Adam walked from The Binoy. Mandy and Bekah ran from West Windsor.

Mark the task owner met us with all the cleaning materials and showed us the referees changing room. Our task was to clean it. 🧹🫧🧽 and boy did it need it! 🫣 GG Cleaning Services to the rescue 🤣

Mandy started by sweeping all the cobwebs 🕸️and debris from the ceiling and worked her way down before scrubbing the shower. Bekah got the cleaning playlist on and then attacked the window. Sara took the toilet area (brave lady) , Adam the offside ⚽️ paintwork and tiles and Jen the area behind the door that was mouldy.

By the end it smelled much better and it did look better and ready for some repairs and decorating.

We were a bit cosy in there but it was a great team effort not helped by the rain and muddy prints on Bekah’s clean floor 😬🧹

Just about got a selfie in and we did our curtsy and bow and said our goodbyes.

Thank you for being great sports!

Tonights community mission we were back at one of our regular task venues Age Concern, The Spencer Denney Centre.

Our task was leafleting to raise awareness of the centre and fundraising so the GG postie trio Caroline , Bekah and Mandy got walking along the Clewer Hill Road, Rycroft, Duncroft and Perrycroft.

The rain showers at first made us sad 🤣 but it speeded us up 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ and we had to hug ourselves to protect the leaflets from getting wet 💦 and soggy.

But the beautiful sky, sunset 🌅and rainbow 🌈 made us happy 😀 to be out and about.

Lots of chats about our days, family etc as we went along.

We had no leaflets left so we made our way back to the centre, did the Windsor curtsy and bow then made our way home.

Thank you Caroline and Bekah for your help and braving the weather. 📮 👑🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🌦️👏🏻

Tonights community mission was for a bit different and the weather didn’t disappoint!

We were at The Pirate Park doing litter picking as our primary task but with some GoodGym awareness thrown in giving out leaflets and a social game of rounders and gathering of to celebrate our achievements so far in Windsor.

We would have loved to have had more of you there but we do appreciate everyone’s help since Jan and dedication to Windsor’s good causes to huge 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to you all!

Thank you also today to Pippa for her very first GoodGym session. 👏🏻👑

AND….. Sheila for her 703rd task ! 🥳🎉🍾👏🏻

We all met at The Pirate Park Caroline, Marilyn, Bekah, Jen, Sara, Mandy, Devon, Sheila and Pippa swept the park with litter pickers on our way to the far side where we were to play rounders.

We handed out some GoodGym Windsor leaflets to some runners and walkers in the park.

We set out the nibbles from The Binoy and got some music on. We decided on our rounders teams (Team Bhajis and Team Samosa) and set up the game. We’ll be honest it wasn’t very organised or indeed very fair 😬 but we all had a go and we all tried our best.

Pippa did a bit more litter picking and Devon and Mandy and Marilyn had a run around the field.

The others started on the Indian nibbles and cakes and eventually we all regrouped for a catch up.

Thank you all for coming 👑🏃‍♂️ you are all litter-ally the best!

Tonights community mission was for Age Concern at The Spencer Denney Centre.

We all made our way in various ways. Running, walking or by car. There we had a team chat while waiting for everyone to arrive.

Tonight’s dream team was Marilyn, Jen, Helen, Adam Didem, Bekah and Mandy.

Rachel the task owner gave us instructions about our tidying up task. Lots to move and sort today making the conference desk clear for interviews and to hire out and create more storage in centre.

Helen jumped the gun 🤣 at the start before the before photo. She lost some pints there 🤣

Then the emptying the cupboard doubles team with Helen and Adam opened the games.

Jen and Bekah wrestled with the full cupboard and then did a bit of fencing with the bowling pins. Mandy convinced Jen to be a good sport and try a bit of juggling wearing a cone on her head which actually should be included in the games 🤣

The conference room to garage relay race by Didem, Marilyn and Adam and Helen was timed to perfection.

Mandy did her best to coach and monitor progress of the team’s performance.

The table was cleared and the shelves moved and refilled ... so we had a victory! 👏🏻

Medals all round ! 🥇🥈🥉

Thank you 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️
