Bin there, done that!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Amy L (she/her)

Thanks to Maidenhead United FC for inviting us to be part of the fun at their annual MacMillan Coffee morning. There was a real buzz as people from the local community came together at the Maidenhead Athletic Club (MAC) clubhouse for a cake feast and lots of activities. We hosted a litter pick and there was also a walking football tournament, a walk round the park, a track session, and did I mention the cake!?

The litter picking group included regular GoodGymers, new GoodGymers, MAC members and walkers. It was great to see such a big turnout and a warm welcome to Lucy and Miranda, who were logging their first GoodGym good deeds.

Extra kudos to Sophie, who ran 10 miles on her way to the session!

We found the usual depressing mix of bottles, cans, plastic wrappers and discarded vapes, plus some bigger items of packaging. The Braywick Road offered particularly rich pickings. We were determined not to let us get it down though - we made a positive difference and that's something to celebrate.

91 juniors ran, walked, skipped and picked flowers on their 2km trip round sunny Ockwells park this morning. They were welcomed, cheered, marshalled, barcode scanned and more by 6 GoodGymers as well as lots of fantastic volunteers from the local area and Maidenhead Athletic Club. Happy Sunday!

Revealing the '49ers

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

On a beautiful sunny morning, 6 Goodgymmers met up with Karen Davies at Spital Cemetery for one of their regular clean-up sessions. Although Margaret has been helping out at the cemetery for a long time, this was her first session under the Goodgym banner, so welcome! We set about clearing some huge piles of branches and grass left by an unknown person, who had been spotted clearing some graves so he could take an image of the inscriptions. Unfortunately he left a trail of devastation behind him, which needed clearing away. Sue and Margaret worked on one area, while Matthew, Scarlett, Sheila and Tessa worked in another. Matthew started chopping up the branches already left by the side of the headstone, putting them in a dumpy bag, while Sheila and Tessa tackled cutting down the remains of the bush. We realised as we worked, that it was the 75-year anniversary of the death of the lady who the grave belonged to - Bessie Nicholls died on 25th April 1949. The bush was a pyracantha, which was extremely prickly and difficult to deal with, but Matthew was up to the task and bashed and cajoled it into submission. We disturbed a beautiful yellow moth, which was later identified as a brimstone moth. Scarlett worked on a different grave, that of Edith Wilcocks who also died in 1949. By the end of the session, an incredible 6 dumpy bags had been filled, and are awaiting collection by Tivoli. Great work by the team to get the cemetery looking tidy again.

Sunny Delight

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

On a sunny , but chilly morning, 6 Goodgymmers helped out at Ockwells Junior Park Run. Gillian, Tessa and Amanda were marshalling and dotted around the course, James and Sheila were barcode scanning and timekeeping respectively, and Amy was Run-directing the whole show. We directed, encouraged, cheered and congratulated an impressive 118 youngsters around the course. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning!

Ready, steady, bake!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Amy L (she/her)

Well done to Juli, Rachel, Sheila, Sophie and Tessa!

They got a workout on Thursday by energetically chopping ingredients like apples and chocolate, beating eggs, mixing batter and piping icing to stock up the refreshment stall at the Easter Ten race.

Their efforts gave a boost to many a hungry runner or supporter, and raised funds for local charities Thames Hospice, The Link Foundation and Alzheimers and Dementia Support.

Great work bakers!

And then the Heavens Opened!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Tessa, Sue and Sheila turned out to help Friends of Spital Cemetery with their first tidy-up session of the season. We split into two groups, with Sue's group tackling a bush which had completely covered one grave. With 4 people tackling it, the bush was soon removed, and the gravestone and surround are now visible. What a transformation! Meanwhile Tessa and Sheila tackled a few smaller projects, removing ivy before it could take a proper hold. Unfortunately we could not read some of the inscriptions on the stones - we would love to know some of the family stories. Unfortunately the Heavens then opened (appropriately enough!), and heavy rain stopped play for now
