The Jenga Boys (& Girls)

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Tonight was our return to the Grow Cardiff project at the Grangetown Medical Centre, we hadn't been here for a year when the project first started. During this time, they had managed to secure some money to create a more accessible site, so we were welcomed with a brand new flooring and the start of the new beds.

We met Chris and had a brief chat about the time inbetween our visits, before getting to the list of jobs for the evening.

  • Move slabs to the rear of the centre.
  • Infill compost bins with green waste.
  • Water the fruit trees / plants behind the medical centre.
  • Litter pick around the centre.
  • Move surplus building materials to the rear of the centre.
  • Sort area under the Cherry Tree, level the soil,
  • Remove rubble from borders.

A lot of work and what looked to be a great workout on a glorious sunny evening. No time to stand about, lets get to it!

Before we had even arranged the garden jobs, Jonathan and Neda were out litter picking in the sunshine. Gold Star to you both....⭐

Su and Imy were onto the borders, taking out any large stones and moving them to the large middle planter. Lucy was sweeping and cleaning, Adam (after breaking the rake) was on leveling duty with Dylan.

Darren and Andrew were with wheelbarrows, moving bricks, slabs and rubble from behind the polytunnel to behind the medical centre. Martin, took to the green waste compost area and filled it, then joining the wheelbarrow crew to build their very own Jenga stack.

It was a great evening helping and we certainly kept ourselves fit tonight. Well deserved food after the run....

Join us next week as we will be keeping with the Nature theme this month over at Cwtch Together.

A flippin' Spring Clean

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Back to regular with a Tuesday task this week, and it just felt right. Michael led the group down part of the taff embankment on their way to Cwtch Together...Whilst we are mentioning the River Taff, goodgym is taking part in a WORLD Record Attempt on March 21st 11:00 - 13:00. You can sign up to this here

Meanwhile, back at Cwtch......

Joggers, walkers and cyclist joined forces once again, this time for a good Spring clean of the Scout Hall. But before we get started a quick welcome form our organiser, Sarah... and our instruction to give the hall a good scrub down to get rid of the spiders. Would you rather see a mouse or a spider? And what about a spider mouse......

Adam was straight on window cleaning duty - with the occasional rendition of "when i'm cleaning windows". Rosie went to brushing.....but the walls and ceiling, cobwebs be gone! Ben was cleaning those windowsills, Su, Emily and Dylan were wiping down the lower walls.

Dylan was on kitchen duty with Sarah, giving it a nice clean through, and finally in at the last moment...Lucy took to the ceiling sweeping that we just couldn't reach and the sweeping the hall once we had finished.

Our music tonight, a selection from Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks and the B-52's....A strange combination but a good run back to Rock Lobster.

Join us next week for a Spring litter pick, a practice before our April one as part of "The Great British Spring Clean".

What a Bute of a Street

Cardiff Report written by Michael

Our evening tonight was going to take place in Bute Street over Cardiff Bay, this part of Cardiff is steeped in glorious HISTORY and deserves a visit from the goodgymers.
And so, we made our way for a litterpick session. Walkers heading straight there on a shorter route, whilst Michael took the runners out for a 6km run (total there and back).
Plenty of time to catch up tonight, debating why bushes were cut the shapes they are - especially when they look like street urinals! A good 4 bags of rubbish, quite clean as the bags weren't full, a quick photo and then time to head back for some hot food.

Learning Time

  • Butetown was barren moorland until the late 1800s, when the 2nd Marquis of Bute decided to build the first dock in Cardiff.
  • The Coal Exchange was built in 1886 for leading businessmen, to meet to fix deals with countries all over the world.
  • In 1909, the first million-pound (£1,000,000) cheque was signed at the Exchange, and presented to the National Provincial Bank in Bute Street.
  • In 1937 Shirley Bassey was born at Adeline Street. By the time she was 20, Shirley was starring in shows in London, Paris, Monte Carlo and also sang three title songs for the 'Bond' films.
  • The Norwegian Church was built in 1868 for the Scandinavian community near the West Dock and has close associations with Roald Dahl (he was Christened there) and his family.

We will be returning this way for a new project in a couple of weeks time.

Bleach boys give off good vibrations

Cardiff Report written by Darren

12 Goodgym folks headed to Cwtch together to take on the latest Tuesday task(s). We split up to cover the different tasks - Jonathan, Flo, Emily, Flo, and Kerry worked inside on bleaching the hall floor. Don't worrry baby, it looked prestine by the time it was done.

God only knows why but Darren was allowed to sand down the door to try and make it open easier. He was giving off some dust and a lot of good vibrations.

The rest of the team weren't surfin' USA, they were busy outside clearing the driveway of weeds and clutter. Wouldn't it be nice if weeds didn't exist!

Goodgym really get around...... after team photo it was time to run back to the Glassworks for a games night, where we all had Fun Fun Fun.

Happy January
