8 Goodgymmers met at the community centre to cut out flight related items! We were just winging it really!

We had a lovely chatty time, cutting and stenciling everything from planes to dragons and fairies to spots for ladybirds!

It was all in aid of Maidenhead's Big Read and was for the children's activities.

Seven Goodgymers met with Ranger Tom at Braywick Nature Centre. Our task had changed slightly - we were asked to coppice some trees and transport the branches to an area where they will be used to build some dry hedges. The saying goes, that wood keeps you warm three times - once when you chop it, once when you split it, and again when you burn it. Well in our case it kept us warm at least three times, but for different reasons. Tom found us two stands of hazel to chop down, so we split into 2 groups and set to work. With loppers, pruning saws and bow saws we set about chopping the trunks down. This certainly kept us very warm! We trimmed off the smaller branches and made some nice long stakes. Still kept us warm! And finally we carried them over to the hedge-building area - definitely still warm! Great team work and it was lovely to meet up with everyone again

Another fun evening helping at Nature's Haven. More door sanding, followed by hot drinks and marshmallows around the firepit. Thanks everyone!
