I dislike butts and I cannot lie..

Tuesday 1st April

Written by Frazer

A pleasant warm evening, though still a little deceptively chilly, bought 5 Goodgymmers together in town for a good old fashioned litter picking. In a familiar route we snapped up the usual gallery of cigarette butts, drinks bottles and tissues. There was also a plastic lump we declared as likely not Roman era, plus a metal rack Louise insisted on calling a weapon.

Much litter collected in all, plus some nice chat and much to look forward to in the coming months, thats what Tuesdays are all about!

Fresh faces

Tuesday 25th March

Written by Frazer

On a pleasant and ever lightening spring evening we amassed a small but eager group to once more clean the foodbank.

We were blessed with two new Goodgymmers! A big welcome to Gigi and Hridya on their first task, along with the new joiners from our last task its an exciting phase of growth for the team. Skipping any running this week, various illness and children's bedtimes getting in the way, we made light work for sweeping the floors and a very thorough mopping, perhaps its deepest clean yet.

Great to welcome new members and look ahead to upcoming tasks, our spring clean has put us all in good mood.

The Great Clean Ribbishery

Saturday 22nd March

Written by Stu

Two Goodgymers set out along busy pathways to litter pick. Our good haul seemed to include robber’s paraphernalia, including, getaway vehicle (bike), weapons (saw wrapped in tin foil), plenty of beer bottles (for courage) and a loot hold-all! Scene of the crime now returned to a more natural setting.

Moss do better

Tuesday 11th March

Written by Ella J (She/her)

We were delighted to have two new/ish GoodGymers join us this evening for some moss clearing. Well done to Henryfor his first and Lukefor his second task!

A lighter evening but still a slightly chilly one. We scrubbed and brushed at the moss around the grounds at Cherry Trees. This helped to keep ourselves warm and the residents safe.

Thanks all and see you next time!
