The halls are alive, with the sound of cleaning

Wednesday 27th August

Written by Dave M

In a late change to our task we set about giving the Gibson Centre a good scrub down.

The cages were taken off the radiators, many spiders were relocated and the water was dirty in minutes. We schwooped with brooms, swished with dusters and Abby fixed the Scouts sign and hung it back up with pride. No clothing was found this time round, however the discovery of a discarded toenail more than made up for that 🤢

We made use of the echo in the hall to rendition some Sound of Music classics and took a turn at yodelling.

With thanks to Katie for giving us a list of tasks we happily crossed them off. Jazzing it up with some added French 🇫🇷 and pizza 🍕 drawings to make it look more fun! And we even found a new trophy to use for GG fun times, comment with some ideas as to what you think the award should be for. I think the first congrats is to Wilson on good deed #400!!!

Discussions around Katie trip to Oz and the recent Victorious festival filled our time and we were soon flashing the board, and then cleaning it! 😜

Written by Katie London

Loads of fabulous Goodgymers braved the windy weather to litter pick in Bransbury Park. Goodgym were inspiring the little Squirrel Scouts and showing them the joys of litter picking or as one 5 yr old said - with full excitement and unabashed enthusiasm - it's a rubbish treasure hunt!!! Best find were a camo hat and wizards wand (which might have been a vape :)

Under the Cover of Radiators

Monday 27th May 2024

Written by Jen Stoneham

As we couldn't possibly have a GoodGym Social without squeezing in a good deed, to finish off our sixth birthday celebrations we removed the radiator covers at The Gibson Centre and gave them a good dust, sweep and scrub!
