Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ Adam, Zoe and Didem met Mandy at the task where Mandy had just met the task owner Daniel.
For tonights community mission we were back at Achieving for Children - Family Hub Service in Hanover Way.
Twas a dark and stormy ๐๐จnight on our first visit but even then the Windsor GGs did lots to clear the area and weed etc but we couldnโt paint the bench so we were back to finish the job on a sunny autumn evening โ๏ธ๐
Sue had previously laid some grass seed which had taken well so we trimmed that but some pesky weeds had grown back so Didem and Mandy tackled those first in the grass, the steps and front of the building while Adam and Zoe rubbed down the bench and step. Then it was time to paint after having a good inspection of each paint pot for the best consistency and giving it a good stir with a trusty stick found by Didem.
It is a small area but there was no standing still. Oh no instead while waiting there was squatting, lunging and plenty of โguess if my bum ๐ is clenched or not clenchedโ game ๐คฃ lots of chit chat and an update on the latest phone tech from Adam.
After the task there was a game of beach ball catch to play and a couple of rounds of jumping jacks to improve our butts.
Donโt forget those before and afters photos ๐ ๐คฃ and letโs see the results next year!
We handed back to the task owner the brushes and paint and said our goodbyes with a curtsy and bow.
Thank you all for the giggles ๐คฃ ๐คฃ๐๐ป๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ and completed task!

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Tonights community mission was for the beautiful Alexander First School which was surprisingly dry despite the storms all afternoon.
We met task owner Adrienn at the school gates and made our way across the stunning school grounds for the task brief.
Didem, Amy and Mandy started with filing the sand pit using sand delivered to the car park area and transporting three wheel barrows full across the field before joining Sheila and Helen who were checking out the main task at the forest school.
We had a pile of wood chips to disperse into the forest and along the pathway and play areas to prepare for the winter mud.
It was really physical and so satisfying seeing the pike of wood chips going down and the path way being developed. We shared stories of our week and holidays while we worked.
Once that pile was all gone , wood you believe it, we had a second pile to tackle in the other forest school area . Now that involved up hill negotiations and we did well not to slip over with our loads. Helen did have a little topple of her barrow filling but โchip ๐ฉ happens! ๐คฃโ and it was scooped back in.
The night was drawing in and we were working on barrowed time. So we had our team photo and returned the tools to the storage area.
We celebrated our valued friend-chip, said our goodbyes and perfectly demonstrated the Windsor curtsy and bow ๐
Thank you all for coming!

Tonights community mission was for Alexander First School.
Jen walked from The Binoy but was stalked en route by Mandy seeing her walk past her house. Jenni H, Helen and Didem met us at the task.
We were met by the task owner Adrienn who showed us the areas we needed to start on.
Tonight we had lots of digging up to do to remove plants and small plants/trees from two areas near the school building.
As always give GoodGymers a challenge they wonโt leave without achieving it. So those roots were not staying. We found all the tiny roots and the pick ones. Cut away and used the spade and gave it a wiggle here and there.
We took the bags of roots to the compost and saw the other chickens ๐๐๐๐
Just after the team photo we had a go at some netball/basket ball shots with an expert on hand to show us howโs itโs done. The task owners husband is an ex basketball player! Although you were all very good ๐๐ป๐
We were also lucky enough to be given some tomatoes from their vegetable garden and eggs from the chickens.
After the Windsor curtsy and bow we made our way home.
Thank you to Jenni for helping with the photos and everyone all for coming it was another outdoorsy fun evening ! ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

Tonights community mission was for Windsor and Eton FC CIC.
Some of us met at the task some made their way walking or running from The Binoy.
Huge welcome to Helen for her first GG session ! ๐ช๐ป๐๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ป
We were met by task owner Mark for a run down of the jobs we needed to do tonight which put us in separate areas and split into teams.
Helen and Didem in the dug out scraping the loose paint to prep for painting and sweeping up the debris.
Jen, Sol and Sara sealing knots in the new wooden doors and rubbing down filler to prep for painting.
Sue and Mandy were removing mould from the changing room ceiling to prep for anti mould painting.
We regrouped when all the jobs were done.
We finished with a fun fitness footy sidelines doubles game (well we forgot which pair we were in but still ) and the match of the day soundtrack was playing to keep us in the football spirit. We did dribbling, skipping, side gallops and lunges followed by jumping jacks until the tune ended! Well done team you smashed it!
Windsor curtsy and bow then some of us made our way home together or back to the Binoy.
Jenโs challenge of this report for a bonus point for the first person that spots and names the hidden bird in the photos.
Thank you to Didem and Jen for helping with the photos and everyone all for coming it was a fun evening ! ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ

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.
Tonightโs 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 ๐คฃ at the start before the before photo. She lost some pints there ๐คฃ
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 ๐คฃ
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 teamโs performance.
The table was cleared and the shelves moved and refilled ... so we had a victory! ๐๐ป
Medals all round ! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Thank you ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
