The High Life

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Tonight was an evening of celebration.

We welcomed our newest member to the group Jessica

CROESO JESS

Another goodgym baby on the way, we can't wait to meet them Sophie.

And finally, introducing the new Lucy, now with wings....

Happy 100th Deed

Our walkers set off first, a direct route to the task, whilst Michael took the joggers on a slightly lengthened route to the task.

A nice evening for a run, with a good breeze. Once we arrived it was straight to work, the gloves out and the tasks explained.

It has been a while since we were last here, and the genes had certainly bounced back since their last trim. This was the first job for Lucy, to contain the growth and stop it encroaching onto the pathways.

Everybody else, over to the fence, it is time for a fence painting frenzy.

There was no stopping us, even a slight bit of rain fixing halt us. Thankfully the rain passed by quite quickly, so the painting continued along with the conversation of the task.

Have you got your own dabber?

Bingo, well that's the next social sorted then...

Lucy had moved on to dead heading roses and the painting crew had nearly finished the second large fence. No leaving until this parts complete. It was a quick run back, so we stayed on a little longer than usual in order to finish the fence.

Quick group photo, then off we popped.

Next week we head over to global gardens , join us for some active fun.

Eight Training

Cardiff Report written by Michael

What a celebration, goodgym CYMRU, we hit our EIGHT anniversary. Starting back on May 23rd, 2017, running to a community garden space, and here we after 8 years running to one of our regular community growing spaces Global Gardens.

We are very proud of how many community green spaces we have helped over those 8 years, and hope to continue the fight to keep Cardiff as green as possible.

Our groups tonight had cyclists, walkers and runners all making their way to Global Gardens. It was a great run through the park, a great way to spend our celebration run before the weather changes. Michael had both his goodgym and global gardens hat on tonight, as he got everyone into the site and ready to volunteer. Although the weather was due to change, there was still plenty of watering to do. The polytunnel needed a good soaking, as did plenty of potted new plants that were dotted around. We also had a second group tooled up and ready to get back to the removal of brambles and bindweed, people on wheelbarrow duty to run the weeds back and forth to the designated compost pile.

We had some returns tonight as we welcomed back Benjamin and Lucy, with the lovely baby Eliza and goodgym bunny. (is this a new mascot?)

After 30 minutes of volunteering (and baby holding), we were done and it was time for our group photos. We made our plans for afterwards to continue the celebrations with a few drinks and some food, and a catch up with each other.

The Jenga Boys (& Girls)

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Tonight was our return to the Grow Cardiff project at the Grangetown Medical Centre, we hadn't been here for a year when the project first started. During this time, they had managed to secure some money to create a more accessible site, so we were welcomed with a brand new flooring and the start of the new beds.

We met Chris and had a brief chat about the time inbetween our visits, before getting to the list of jobs for the evening.

  • Move slabs to the rear of the centre.
  • Infill compost bins with green waste.
  • Water the fruit trees / plants behind the medical centre.
  • Litter pick around the centre.
  • Move surplus building materials to the rear of the centre.
  • Sort area under the Cherry Tree, level the soil,
  • Remove rubble from borders.

A lot of work and what looked to be a great workout on a glorious sunny evening. No time to stand about, lets get to it!

Before we had even arranged the garden jobs, Jonathan and Neda were out litter picking in the sunshine. Gold Star to you both....⭐

Su and Imy were onto the borders, taking out any large stones and moving them to the large middle planter. Lucy was sweeping and cleaning, Adam (after breaking the rake) was on leveling duty with Dylan.

Darren and Andrew were with wheelbarrows, moving bricks, slabs and rubble from behind the polytunnel to behind the medical centre. Martin, took to the green waste compost area and filled it, then joining the wheelbarrow crew to build their very own Jenga stack.

It was a great evening helping and we certainly kept ourselves fit tonight. Well deserved food after the run....

Join us next week as we will be keeping with the Nature theme this month over at Cwtch Together.

A flippin' Spring Clean

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Back to regular with a Tuesday task this week, and it just felt right. Michael led the group down part of the taff embankment on their way to Cwtch Together...Whilst we are mentioning the River Taff, goodgym is taking part in a WORLD Record Attempt on March 21st 11:00 - 13:00. You can sign up to this here

Meanwhile, back at Cwtch......

Joggers, walkers and cyclist joined forces once again, this time for a good Spring clean of the Scout Hall. But before we get started a quick welcome form our organiser, Sarah... and our instruction to give the hall a good scrub down to get rid of the spiders. Would you rather see a mouse or a spider? And what about a spider mouse......

Adam was straight on window cleaning duty - with the occasional rendition of "when i'm cleaning windows". Rosie went to brushing.....but the walls and ceiling, cobwebs be gone! Ben was cleaning those windowsills, Su, Emily and Dylan were wiping down the lower walls.

Dylan was on kitchen duty with Sarah, giving it a nice clean through, and finally in at the last moment...Lucy took to the ceiling sweeping that we just couldn't reach and the sweeping the hall once we had finished.

Our music tonight, a selection from Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks and the B-52's....A strange combination but a good run back to Rock Lobster.

Join us next week for a Spring litter pick, a practice before our April one as part of "The Great British Spring Clean".
