Our group of dozen of Goodgymers and first time Wednesday session leader Anne-Laure were happily participating in refreshing the beautiful drawings on the ground of Ray Mill Island. Organised by our lovely Nivi, the painting involved finding the right colours to match the drawings made last year by the same Goodgymers. The weather was lovely, the vibe was great, the quest to find the perfect red colour unfortunately failed. But it didn't stop everyone to recreate the beautiful letters, drawings and games. The rainbow ended up very personalised.

The evening finished with not just one but two celebrations! Roberta celebrated her 100th good deed and Rachel her (unofficial) 250th. Well done to them! Rachel spoilt us (again) with her amazing skills of baking and her creative poem writing.

A successful session, 2 amazing cakes and beautiful colours on the island! The good gymmers have spread a little bit more of joy in Maidenhead!

The Craft Coop needed help transporting their shop fittings and other belongings out of the Nicholsons Centre before it is demolished. Five amazing GoodGymers offered their time to help, and joined the shop managers and their family members, plus Neil from Bridge Rotary The plan was to load up cars with the stuff and then unload them at the other end. Heidi turned up with her Mini and we did wonder how many items we could fit in, but luckily there were other car boots available too. We loaded the cars up, then walked some of the bulkier items round to the Town Hall. We unloaded the items, taking them through a rabbit warren of passageway and stairs, to the storage room. Several carloads later we completed our task and the storage room was full! Thank you to Angela, Christine, Diya, Sheila and Viv for giving up their time and energy - the Craft Coop is extremely grateful.

3 GoodGymers met on a windy and rainy evening for an indoor task - lucky us! What was not lucky was the constant beep of the alarm where we were working. Thankfully we're a talkative lot and the sound didn't bother us much.

This evening we helped the Green Skills Library as they continue their preparation to move to the new location. There were a lot of ties to be snipped off a metal frame, to free up baubles and light strings which were well encased in cling film. Methodically, we worked through them and before long we had dismantled 5 metal frames, freeing up-too-many-to-count baubles and lights.

We walked away in the rain, leaving task owner Donna happy and thankful once again.
