Tuesday 24th February, five Goodgymers rocked up to Colliers football ground in Kersley End, Home of the Coventrians FC. I biked it up a good uphill work out ! The road closure didn't slow us down too much as Laura, Lucy, Sharon, Nigel, Matt and I made it there. To meet Jane and John who put in a lot of work to keep the place ticking over. Tonight's tasks: painting the changing rooms and clearing the trophy room. Four of us opted for the painting Laura and Lucy got the proper gear, overalls an’ all. Matt and I were on the cutting in, while Laura and Lucy were on the rollers. Getting as much done as possible, cos it'll need a few coats!

The dogs Lily and Derek were there again, and Lily doesn't care what you’re doing—she’ll drop her tennis ball anywhere for you to throw. But being inside that wasn’t going to happen, especially with paint around. Luckily no dogs got painted! Nigel and Sharon got busy on the cleaning, dusting down the trophies 🏆, wiping shelving, tables, and giving the floors a good old sweep. John, Jane and Paul have been doing loads there, but still need ongoing support to keep the place tip-top for the community. So Goodgym will visit again on the 10th March. Great work everyone 🙌

Fantastic evening at the Vision Hub having another go at Showdown! With our very own Claire currently ranked 2nd in the country — what an achievement!

Everyone had a great time getting involved. We played singles matches as well as a team game that stayed incredibly close from start to finish, with Claire’s team just edging ahead at the very end.

Thank you Chris and Claire for hosting and thanks all for a fun night!

Felt like Christmas again at our monthly visit to Carries of Hope! Six Goodgymers rolled up to help out: Georgia, Lucy, Laura, Sharon, Nigel, and myself. The awesome Michelle and Danni were there to greet us and guide us through our task. We all helped get the toys and games—donated before Christmas—to kids for presents. The ones that didn’t go, we took off the shelves, reorganised into categories and ages, labelled, and bagged up ready for next year! Nigel dodged the doo, Georgia was on the naughty list, but everyone else behaved and we finished in good time. Awesome guys 🙌
