Skip-edy Doo Daa Day

Portsmouth Report written by Jen Stoneham

Goodness me, that was a busy one! It was lovely to have so many GoodGymers along this evening, and very much needed!

Our task was to remove a LOT of wood, metal and boxes from the Library of Things storeroom down three flights of stairs, two sets of doors, up in a service lift and across to a skip. We split in to three teams - Dave and Richard were Team Skip, then Val, Judy, Ranjitha and Louisa were the Corridor Runners. The rest of the team were the tasked with getting all of the oddly-shaped and awkwardly weighted items down from the store room.

There was some amazing team work this evening, and nobody fell down any stairs, or into a skip! We did briefly lose Sinéad in a recycling bin, but we won't worry about that!

A Hole Lotta Good

Portsmouth Report written by Jen Stoneham

We welcomed David to his first GoodGym session this evening - great to have you along! He certainly got stuck in with our task, helping to take down some shelving.

Meanwhile, Lucy, Richard and I joined Clare at the new unit to help put up the new Repair Cafe / Library of Things signage. Cue lots of scrabbling up and down ladders, then an emergency jig-saw break when we realised the sign was a little too long!

Back at the old unit, the rest of the team made great progress filling holes, taking down shelving and sweeping the floors. We finished up by taking a few bits and pieces across the new unit. Sinéad has reassured us that, despite appearances in the photos, she was not in drink whilst using a power tool!

So much achieved in such a short space of time - amazing work, everyone!

Multiple GoodGymers = much cleaner beaches

Portsmouth Report written by Judy Knapp

Bravo brave GGers, battling with high winds, inside-out bags and bored or bemused pet dogs!

We each chose a beach or river to litter-pick during September, getting out in the fresh air to join the Marine Conservation Society's campaign to clean Britain's coasts and inland waters.

Well done for taking a moment from your month to make a small difference that adds up to a big impact.

Trolley good show at the library of things!

Portsmouth Report written by Laura Wells

Five GoodGymers joined a total of 34 volunteers who joined forces to help out the wonderful Share Portsmouth to move the contents of the library of things / repair cafe. This was all within the Cascades and involved moving over 600 items from one unit to another. Items included DIY gear, kitchen items, suitcases, cider-making equipment and more, all helped by wheelbarrows, trolleys and people power!

With so many people, set in three well organised groups, we moved all the items in around 45 mins. We will be back again next week for the group task to help them with the last bits in the old unit!
