Richard, Tanya, Ruth, Jane and Ted the dog have had an awfully big adventure delivering leaflets for a charity working with some of the most vulnerable people in the Bath area.

Richard, the sensible one, came equipped with head torch, while even Ted was dressed head to tail in hi-viz.

Ruth forgot to charge her torch in time.
“Don’t worry”, said Jane, “it’s very well lit.”

“Ok”, said Ruth and tripped over a step at practically the first house.

“Hmmm…” said Ruth to herself, as she dusted herself off. “More haste less speed - as Mama used to say”.

Actually, the ‘Famous’ Five GoodGymers, finished their task in super quick time.

And Tanya and Richard were simply streets ahead!

"Gosh", said Jane, I must bring more leaflets next time.

But will there be a next time?

Will Ruth remember her head torch and avoid taking another tumble?

Will more GoodGymers want to join us and go from the ‘Famous’ five to the ‘Super' six, seven or even beyond?

Will Ted be any more gorgeous?

And, most importantly, will there be lashings and lashings ginger beer afterwards?

Only time will tell.

In the meantime, here’s the important bit….

We five may have done OUR good deed by delivering flyers for Julian House’s Christmas appeal. Now it’s up to residents to see the need and perhaps put THEIR hands in their pockets to help some of the city’s most vulnerable people .

With apologies to Enid Blyton 😉

Five Good Gymers, not Famous, braved an early autumnal evening to My First Steps Nursery, seeking adventure.

On arrival we were greeted by Cathy and given a very quick briefing of tonight’s task: tidy the outside area and possibly weed. Left to our own devices we used our imagination and set to. Kate and Jane started picking up all the larger items casually strewn across the green, however there was treasure to be had! Silver spoons and plastic spades were our bounty which we passed to our team members to assist them with their weeding. I said we had to be imaginative, and in lieu of any adult tools, we had to make do. Ruth did a fabulous job in the baby garden, though the weeds were unfortunately a match for the plastic spade/spoon by the end of the session, it didn’t make it. Meanwhile Richard and Tanya were messing around in the mud kitchen, though not making mud pies for us to enjoy after the task, just a general tidy and weed where silver spoons were also going for the price of gold!

We managed to remove two tubs worth of weeds, and the general area looked a lot tidier, therefore I’d say mission accomplished
