Chats in the belfry

Tuesday 24th September

Written by Bournemouth runner

Four Goodgymmers, Daryl, Mohammed, Keith and Lea, got down to some more painting today. Oh well, and cleaning and shoving and pulling and shopping. The belfry, yikes that’s…. high, going by the moans and sighs of Daryl. Long stepladder without a platform meant up and down and up and down for him. The “oh no” was meant for the tin of paint literally swinging on the belfry hatch rope. Quite a feat, Daryl! Mohammed painted round the radiators and doors at first and then the radiator itself with Lea trying to be helpful by rolling paint onto parts difficult to get to. But a bit too enthusiastically: broken roller… (what with the broken fork and spades, Goodgym is in danger of getting a bad reputation!) Anyway shopping for a “corner roller” and some terps was a task for Keith. Then we all got down on our knees to clean the floor and then up again to push fridges etc back in their place. Belfry is certainly looking too good for the bats now!

Helping the good people of estate to grow food

Friday 13th May 2022

Written by Keith Baker

Very well organised, with great multi group teamwork to help place raised food and vegetable beds in people's gardens to empower them to grow their own produce. Great sense that people in the estate felt the team was supporting them to use their garden more easily by raising the work areas. At the end of the day everybody was energised as they had really made a difference.

Digging For Victory

Wednesday 16th March 2022

Written by Daryl Venner

Hannah,John and Daryl meet Jono at the secret garden which is in St Clements church grounds,they have done so much since we where last there plus they have just been awarded funding for the next five years which is brilliant news We collected the tools we needed and headed off to Churchill Gardens where they had a big mound of compost delivered we had to move the compost to the raised beds they had in the gardens.In these raised beds they grow veg for the local residents in the area to come and pick as they want. We soon got to work and by the time was up we had shifted over half the mound they where so pleased with our work which was a great help for them. It was nice to see Hannah again dont leave it so long next time .Congratulions to Daryl on reaching the magic number 300 tasks . Next week we are at Northey road i hope to se you all next week.
