Screw it!

Coventry Report written by Laura Denham

What a fantastic summer evening at Green Growthers at St. Margaret’s Church! We tackled the weeding of the crazy paving and constructed an awesome outdoor storage cupboard. Incredible job everyone!

Home Run

Coventry Report written by Laura Denham

Eight enthusiastic GoodGymers came together with family and friends for an exciting game of rounders! We rallied to form our teams, with little Edie making a note of the scores.

Team 'Black' took to the field first , while Team 'Others' stepped up to bat. A few of us were a bit rusty with not having played the game for many a years, and it was a bit of a challenge to get a rounder but after 5 goes each they ended their turn with 1 rounder. Then it was Team Black's time to shine, getting off to a good start and finishing strong with a score of 5 rounders.

Next, we took a refreshing break with our Athletic Brewery lager and some of us indulged in a cheeky glass of wine :) We feasted on delicious treats that everyone had generously bought or made.

After recharging, we jumped into the next round, but it seemed those snacks had us feeling a bit sluggish as we ended the second round with a score of 1-0.

What a fantastic night of fun and friendly competition! After some more chatting and nibbling on a few more snacks, we wrapped up the evening and tidied up. A huge thanks to everyone for coming along, diving in and making it so enjoyable.

Chip off the old block

Coventry Report written by Laura Denham

Last night we had 14 GoodGymers all set for action. We managed to just dodge the downpour and half of us tackled a sweaty run over to the allotments on what ended up being a very warm evening. Turns out I totally underestimated the distance but everyone smashed it.

When the runners arrived, the early birds (who had made there own way there) were already in full swing with Nigel, Graeme, Chris, Claire and James moving bark chippings with wheelbarrows, Jackie on the spreading and Sharon and Steve weeding around the mud kitchen area.

The runners joined in with Chloe, Georgia, Vani and Laura jumping right into the weeding and Dale on bush trimming duties. Before we knew it the communal area was prepped with bark chippings, the beds clear from weeds and the hedge looking neat, all set for their allotment BBQ next week.

With the runners needing to hit the road again we capped it off with a group snap (not snack - ha!) and made our way back to base. A few stayed longer to wrap things up with James and Steve dedicated to completing the brick base for the wormery before the clock ran out.

Fantastic work everyone, Gareth has messaged me this morning to thank you all lots and to say how great you have left the allotments looking. Nice one!

Next week we are gearing up for a rounders game! It might have been a while since some of you played but it should be a great opportunity to stay active and have a great time together (and this time i will be bringing snacks!). If you are not up for playing you can always come for the social, have a chat, help set up and maybe keep score? Hope to see you all there!

Put-tin in the miles

Coventry Report written by Laura Denham

11 Goodgymers strutted there stuff to Carriers of Hope last night, with a mixture of walkers, making their own way there and runners joining the group run.

A big welcome to new recruits; Va, Chris,Michelle Victoryand Bose! Kudos on popping your GoodGym cherry and rocking those snazzy new red t-shirts Bose and Michelle!

The group runners clocked a solid 9km during their jaunt, Chris and Vani you did amazing and thanks to Laura for back marking.

7 of the gang rolled up to Carriers of Hope by 6.15pm, while the rest of us sweat it out on the run. The runners eventually arrived at 7pm, just as the early birds were knee deep in a marathon of checking expiry dates and organising dried food donations into crates including tins,cans, sauces, pasta, you name it.

After a lightning fast 20 minutes the runners went full speed ahead back to CRCB. Meanwhile the rest of the crew kept the food sorting momentum going strong, well done team! Great to see you all, thank you for your hard work.

Next week is a new task at Earlsdon Primary School allotments so hope to see some of you there!
