Nottingham Report written by Rachel Levick
The latest heatwave didnât put off 7 GoodGym Nottingham volunteers as we headed to Greenâs Windmill and Science Centre for this weekâs task. We hadnât been to the Windmill for a task for some time so it was nice to be back in their beautiful garden which was just perfect for a warm summerâs evening.
Jamie met us on arrival and opened up the science centre so that we could park our bikes inside. We then set to work on weeding and tidying the pathways in between the raised beds. As much as we love gardening tasks involving heavy duty tool-wielding, chopping, pruning brambles etc, we all agreed that a gentle evening pulling up weeds was perfect for such a warm day as we were all pretty low on energy. It also meant that we didnât have to use much brain-power in deciding what was and wasnât a weed as we just needed to pull up anything that was not in a bed.
Alongside the weeding, Nat also took on the task of picking up several apples which had fallen from the trees into the garden, separating out the ones which could potentially still be sold as windfall.
After an hour, we were satisfied that all the garden paths appeared to be weed and apple free and we were ready to head on home to cool off. Before we did, we had our usual group picture plus a special one of AJ with the Windmillâs solar panels. He had been involved in a project at work which had contributed to the installation of these panels a few years ago, but had not had the opportunity to come and see them for himself until now. A perfect way to celebrate what was his tenth Goodgym task - well done AJ!

Natalie is part of a crowd that's making a huge noise. Natalie has been cheered by 25 people - that's a round of applause just on their own. We hope they keep it up.

Nottingham Report written by Peter Edwards
It was back to Walter Halls School for Leah, Khiltee, Natalie and Peter to help out in their wonderful garden.
It's always a good one when we're here and Adele always manages to find us a wide range of interesting and varied tasks. This week, Perspex sheets needed shifting, weeds needed lifting, the banks of the pond needed raising and a pick axe was (again) wielded!
So, it was gloves on and (already short) sleeves rolled up as sand bags were filled and tucked neatly under the pond liner. Big rocks were then placed on top This should allow a higher water level so the school can get the wildlife the pupils keeps asking for in there.
Congratulations to Peter on achieving 50 good deeds and black t-shirt status!
