I raily raily like pew

Cardiff Report written by Darren

5 Goodgym folks ran, walked and cycled to St. Dyfrig and Samson church to help finish painting their railings.

Goodgym visited a few weeks ago, so we were here to get the remaining railings painted from blue to black!

"I tell you what I want, what I raily raily want"

Su, and Emma W took the inside and Darren, Emma P and Michael the outside. We were joined by some of the lovely church volunteers. The Reverand also popped by to kindly thank us for our efforts.

We chatted away happily whilst we..... 'paint it black', learning all about about the church and activities.

As a group we made quick work of the side railings and by the time we left the job was complete! Everyone was delighted, they said "We were 'even better than the 'rail thing'."

The sun was setting so there was 'no rail slim shady' left, we ran back to the pub for a well earned drink.

Little shop of - Tomorrow

Cardiff Report written by Michael

We were thrilled to be returning to the Samye Foundation, and even during yet another heat wave, nothing could stop us from getting back to one of our original charities that we have been helping since the very start of goodgym Cardiff.

Our very first run to Samye was back on Tuesday 26th September 2017 and the transformation that we have seen is amazing. This was our return after a break, and the garden project looked fantastic, the pond we helped to dig was now in full working order and sounding tranquil.

Our task tonight were ready as usual, set up on the flipchart at the front of the building. (I love a flipchart!)

Runners were the first to arrive, and quickly sat down under cover to rehydrate after the hot run. Walkers were next to arrive, and Michael quickly pointed them towards the water and squash - hydration was very important today, before any tasks started.

Our list of task for the evening were as follows;

  • Move the 2 seater sofa from level 2 in building 252 to the front room in building 250.
  • Cable tie the dogrose to the front railings.
  • Cable tie the fruit trees in the back garden.
  • Bring the spiky plants from the back garden to the front.
  • Cut out and compost the red orach.
  • Re-pot baby plants from 250 porch into new pots.
  • Move the metal table from outside the cafe window to under the gazeebo .
  • Display the plants for plant sale on the tables under the gazeebo.

There was a good list of tasks, and 8 willing volunteers to crack on with them. We split into 3 groups, moved to our relevant areas, and got started - wasting no time, eager to get as much completed as possible.

Aimee and Emma went into the back garden and tied up the fruit trees, then removed the red orach and cut it down for composting.

Jonathan, Dylan and Jessica took to the task of moving the sofa, the spiky plants and the re-potting some baby plants.

PIVOT, PIVOT

Emma and Flo moved the metal table, plants and tied the dogrose at the front of the building.

All groups gave an outstanding effort tonight, especially with the temperatures that we had to endure. We got so much done, and Lorraine from Samye Foundation was so happy with our effort. We finished up for the evening, and then sat under the gazeebo for some delicious parsnip soup. Then we all walked back, far too hot for anymore running.

The gazeebo was looking lovely now surrounded by all of the plants, they are opening this is every Wednesday for plant sales in case your interested.

See you all next week - sign up here
