Six GoodGymers - Sekar, Marie-Noelle, Marcus, Luke, Zoe and Sophie teamed up to help out at Canburry Community Garden to help Marylin one last time with some much needed vegetable beds watering, water fetching from the river, pruning of the tall bushes around the fencing area, clearing the fallen leaves from the outbuilding gutter and some weeding and clearing of the path for easy wheel-chair access. As we said goodbye to Marylin who is retiring, we got to know Susan who takes over as Lead Gardener.
Meanwhile over at the GoodGym flowerbed it was a watery work out for Tom, Louise and Saber who filled the large buckets with river water and transported them to the flowerbed by wheel barrow.
The flowers were given an extra good water followed by some super mulching to keep all the moisture in.
In between the watering and mulching Claire removed the litter and a few small weeds. Hopefully the rain will make an appearance soon to give the muscles a rest from watering.
Welcome to Sekar, Sophie and Zoe on their first task with Kingston GoodGym we hope to see you again soon.

This evening it was all about prioritisation with a small but eager team. Having run, walked and cycled our way to the pantry we were treated with cool drinks which went down a treat.
We focussed on the key tasks of cleaning the fridges which Claire and Marcus took on, cleaning the sinks which Farzeen made sparkle and cleaning the fruit and veg area which Susan spruced up. This was followed by cleaning the ever sugary and floury baking shelves and hoovering and mopping.
Having completed all our tasks in record time we enjoyed viewing and learning about the art created by some of the clients as part of a project undertaken by the Pantry.

With a smaller group, likely due to the holiday period, we were glad to have some space to maneuver at Full Cycle tonight! We put our pedal to the metal to handle the assault course of stairs and limited space with a remarkable chain reaction of good deeds.
First, shifting a huge number of bikes, then more shifting bikes, followed by a moving a mountain of rims and wheels. Our final job was to create some inner peace by rolling up countless tubes for recycling. We got a massive amount done and were rewarded with first dibs on some recently donated cycling gear!
A wheelie warm welcome to Louise and well done in your first task and hopefully see you again soon.
