Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonights community mission we were back at one of our regular task venues Age Concern, The Spencer Denney Centre.

Our task was leafleting to raise awareness of the centre and fundraising so the GG postie trio Caroline , Bekah and Mandy got walking along the Clewer Hill Road, Rycroft, Duncroft and Perrycroft.

The rain showers at first made us sad 🤣 but it speeded us up 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ and we had to hug ourselves to protect the leaflets from getting wet 💦 and soggy.

But the beautiful sky, sunset 🌅and rainbow 🌈 made us happy 😀 to be out and about.

Lots of chats about our days, family etc as we went along.

We had no leaflets left so we made our way back to the centre, did the Windsor curtsy and bow then made our way home.

Thank you Caroline and Bekah for your help and braving the weather. 📮 👑🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🌦️👏🏻

Tonights community mission was for a bit different and the weather didn’t disappoint!

We were at The Pirate Park doing litter picking as our primary task but with some GoodGym awareness thrown in giving out leaflets and a social game of rounders and gathering of to celebrate our achievements so far in Windsor.

We would have loved to have had more of you there but we do appreciate everyone’s help since Jan and dedication to Windsor’s good causes to huge 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to you all!

Thank you also today to Pippa for her very first GoodGym session. 👏🏻👑

AND….. Sheila for her 703rd task ! 🥳🎉🍾👏🏻

We all met at The Pirate Park Caroline, Marilyn, Bekah, Jen, Sara, Mandy, Devon, Sheila and Pippa swept the park with litter pickers on our way to the far side where we were to play rounders.

We handed out some GoodGym Windsor leaflets to some runners and walkers in the park.

We set out the nibbles from The Binoy and got some music on. We decided on our rounders teams (Team Bhajis and Team Samosa) and set up the game. We’ll be honest it wasn’t very organised or indeed very fair 😬 but we all had a go and we all tried our best.

Pippa did a bit more litter picking and Devon and Mandy and Marilyn had a run around the field.

The others started on the Indian nibbles and cakes and eventually we all regrouped for a catch up.

Thank you all for coming 👑🏃‍♂️ you are all litter-ally the best!

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.

Tonight’s 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 🤣 at the start before the before photo. She lost some pints there 🤣

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 🤣

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 team’s performance.

The table was cleared and the shelves moved and refilled ... so we had a victory! 👏🏻

Medals all round ! 🥇🥈🥉

Thank you 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonights community mission was at Spital Cemetery clearing weeds and collecting litter. A first for the Thursday evening session.

Bekah ran to The Binoy for 6:15pm to say “hi” to Jen who was walking and then she ran on to the task to meet the others.

We eventually 🤣 gathered at 6:30pm and the task owner Karen and the local cat showed us the area we we needed to tackle. Got on the classic fm for some calming background tunes.

Our fab GoodGym Team tonight was Gareth (welcome to his first Thursday evening session), Jen, Sue, Mandy , Bekah and Didem.

Gareth and Didem set about doing a quick litter pick on their way to the main area of work.

The weeds had over taken the rose garden of remembrance and with traces of ashes visible we had to be mindful not to disturb these. The weeds had blanketed the whole of the bed and some of the roots were really deep. The thistles had also grown very densely Bekah tried to tackle these but they were a bit to prickly. Hopefully after all our hard week the rose will have some space to thrive and any future scatterings will be much nicer.

Jen volunteered herself for condensing the green waste and then Didem and Jen took the bag down for collection.

After the task we opted for a calming quick yoga session perfect for a cemetery. Not that we were much calmer afterwards as it was just too funny 🤣 Jens classic line “I don’t think I’ve ever done yoga in a graveyard before “🤣

At the end we did the Windsor curtsy and bow 👑 and said our goodbyes.

Thank you all for coming ♥️ and Namaste (nah-mah-stay)
