You can tell we've had one or two painting jobs this winter when GoodGym members are bringing their own overalls!

We were back at the Sherwood Community Centre this week to tackle jobs inside and out! Louise from the centre leda few of us down a labyrinth to apply some fresh white paint to whilst Matt, Natalie and Charlie went outside for some stealth gardening and leaf collection.

Great progress was made by both groups and Louise provided drinks to refresh after a good hour of work on the brushes and rollers.

We also welcomed Louise for her first GoodGym task, we hope you join us again soon!

Somehow lightning has struck twice and we've not had to contend with the incessant rain on this mammoth task!

This time we were joined by Charlie on his first ever GoodGym session and Jen who we borrowed from Portsmouth for the evening. And a groundsheet to protect the stonework – whaddya know, we've learned!

With a smaller group, we clubbed together and got a good chunk further along the railings. It's really starting to look good!

We'll be back at the end of March, so sign up now. Will it be a hattrick of dry evenings?

You know you've got a good bunch of GoodGymers when eight of them turn up on a windy, close-to-freezing evening in February to paint railings.

After a little bit of stalling having a look round the glorious entrance area at The Atrium, we grabbed the paint and brushes and headed outside.

We decided to split into two teams of four starting at opposite ends of the first section of gates, each with two on the outside and two on the inside in an effort to make things as efficient as possible. It's going to be a massive job (we're scheduled to come back in a couple of weeks and will likely be back a few more times as we get towards the summer), but I think we made a good start! Just look at the difference in the pics.

Belated congratulations to Khiltee on her 10th task, and shoutout to Florence for hitting a fabulous 15! An additional thanks goes to Rachel who figured out that washing-up liquid is the best way to get this kind of paint off your skin!
