Getting on with job at hand

Tuesday 5th May

Written by Peter Van Tongeren

Not for the first time, AJ just got on with the job at hand, very much appreciated by the team. In other words, some stock pictures were used instead.

BTW, have we mentioned how AJ has been flying the Goodgym flag across the Atlantic all by herself? She does deserve all the credits for her efforts &energy & time, something the different teams she supports very much do appreciate.

Three Is The Charm

Wednesday 6th May

Written by Linda Sharman

Three Good Gymmers came to restock and stock take at Frenford Food Bank. We moved packages from the cages yo places that were now vacant on the static shelves. Linda and Addie brought in some new stock and a container for the dontated sugar from the storage out back while Ed put the cages away.

Half way through Addie presented Linda with some cookies that she had kindly made for Linda's Birthday. Luckily Linda's age is no secret, not only were the shape of the cookies advertising it, Addie kindly accompanied the presentation with a loud blast of The Beatles When I'm 64! 😂

Totting up whats left on the shelves is a breeze when theres three of you. We were finished in no time and the info passed to a grateful task owner.

Many Hands Make Light Work

Wednesday 6th May

Written by Linda Sharman

Three of us cleared old bulb leaves and some weeds to make way for half a dozen petunias which were pot bound and overdue for planting out. Ed and Linda would usually take care of the Bernard Close community gardening project on their own and were very grateful for the addition of Addie whose energy, enthusiasm for the job, good knowledge of gardening and lively chatter made a chore into a pleasure.

Warren Hill worries

Tuesday 5th May

Written by Peter Van Tongeren

it is a long standing pet hate to see the heavy metal NO2 canisters rolling about the streets - they usually end up in the gutter dangerously close to passing bikes.

Also, if one get clipped by a car it can shoot across the road and cause damage or even hit pedestrians. Not mention the potential issues if flicked up into oncoming 40mph traffic...

So in two sessions today 8 canisters got removed from one Road, a mere 2-300m spread up & downhill.
