At GoodGym we are celebrating This Girl Can's Move10 campaign - keeping things simple. 10 minutes of movement, 10 times over a month, in whatever way works for you.

"We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever."

It was our last Monday at Mousehold of the year, just before it gets too dark - but don't worry we're heading back for a few Saturday sessions if you missed out!

Always a favourite task - with 19 GoodGymers attending, Will lead us all to the area needing work. Pulling braken to allow other plant species to grow, and carrying piles across the heath.

We spread out into 3 areas, it was a very social evening and rewarding to see how much of difference it made!

Shout outs to Gemma, Rachel and Lizzie all completing their first Good Deed!

Will kindly treated us to some tasty snacks, which was a lovely way to finish the evening as the night drew in.

Dig out those headtorches for next week folks!

Massifs de jardin sans frontiers - (Garden beds without borders).

We all gathered at St James’ garden and got briefed that we would need to remove some overgrown thorns and bits from the back of the garden.

We also were tasked with resetting the border lines of the garden beds, removing grass that had grown into the flower beds around the site.

A good time was had by all and we decamped to Cavendish Court for refreshments afterwards.

First to arrive at the allotment was Andrew shortly followed by Jonathan and Sarah. Whilst they waited for Jack, they helped open the very heavy skip roof followed by the exciting news that there was food and biscuits to reward them after their mission was completed.

Moving down to the allotment, the task was to clear as much large plastic and general waste as possible from two adjacent allotments to the skip ready for new tenants to arrive. Items included broken plastic tables, pots and many plastic wrappers and broken wood.

As the task got away, Jack arrived to give a much wanted helping hand just as the sun shone at its brightest. The heat made for hard work and before we knew it, time was up and a busy and productive day.

Our biggest group of the year - 19 GoodGymer's assembled at Oxfam store Magdalen Street.

Shout out's to Emma attending her first session, Maddy & Jack returning after a break, and Stephen who completed his 250th session!

In a scene similar to 60 Minute Makeover, Emily gave out the tasks for the evening (clean as much as possible) and the team spread out armed with hoovers, dusters, scrapers, tackling any surface that needed a clean. Even the toilet floors were given a thorough working over!

The floor downstairs was the main target, with dirt marks leaving a trail like foot prints - the big question was who was the culprit?

In a hour we had covered nearly every shelf, table and flooring, leaving the store looking transformed!

Well done team, it was a fantastic effort. Also best wishes to Jordan who moves north next month.

Tonight 10 GoodGymer's headed to 35th Sea Scouts in Mousehold.

The original plan had been to spray paint tyres that would be used as planters. But with rain falling heavily during the day we decided to focus on the outdoor grounds instead.

The sun came out as we looked out over one of the best views of the city below us. The team spread out to pull up bracken that had sprung up amoungst the wild flowers and fennel. In an hour we had filled 15 bags and left them underneath the sheltered storage area.

It was great to be back here, and we hope to return when the venue is next available.
