A short and sweet task, so a quick and simple report.

A small group tonight heading out on a cold Tuesday after a Monday, Monday.
We were California Dreamin' of the Summer to come
as we ran through Creeque Alley.
Our task, to clean the outside back of the hall so all could see It's Getting Better.
Lets get to work, I Can't Wait said the group.
Once done it was time to Go Where You Wanna Go.
If you Dream a Little Dream of Me (goodgym)
and you've Got a Feeling you'd like to volunteer
then join us in the future

Our evening tonight was going to take place in Bute Street over Cardiff Bay, this part of Cardiff is steeped in glorious HISTORY and deserves a visit from the goodgymers.
And so, we made our way for a litterpick session. Walkers heading straight there on a shorter route, whilst Michael took the runners out for a 6km run (total there and back).
Plenty of time to catch up tonight, debating why bushes were cut the shapes they are - especially when they look like street urinals! A good 4 bags of rubbish, quite clean as the bags weren't full, a quick photo and then time to head back for some hot food.

Learning Time

• Butetown was barren moorland until the late 1800s, when the 2nd Marquis of Bute decided to build the first dock in Cardiff.
• The Coal Exchange was built in 1886 for leading businessmen, to meet to fix deals with countries all over the world.
• In 1909, the first million-pound (£1,000,000) cheque was signed at the Exchange, and presented to the National Provincial Bank in Bute Street.
• In 1937 Shirley Bassey was born at Adeline Street. By the time she was 20, Shirley was starring in shows in London, Paris, Monte Carlo and also sang three title songs for the 'Bond' films.
• The Norwegian Church was built in 1868 for the Scandinavian community near the West Dock and has close associations with Roald Dahl (he was Christened there) and his family.

We will be returning this way for a new project in a couple of weeks time.

Tonight the gallant goodgymers were out for the WIN, cyclists, walkers and runners came together like some sort of Bolt-on Wanderers, ready to take on the mighty task. Leaving Cardiff City to take on a new challenge. Tonight was all about helping at the young persons homeless hostel, cleaning the back space and games pitch. This was our first time "playing" at Hostel Villa, but armed with our Arsenal of tools we went around to the "Notareal Forest" to start our battle against the fallen leaves of Mulchester City.

There were nods to the history of football as we saw the revival of sweepers tonight....and didn't they do WELL alongside the wonders of the wheelBARROW transfers. The leaves piled up defeated, and the grounds resembled a NEWcastle united by the goodgymers.

After a well deserved winning photo, the team took to the streets to celebrate the win and get a Tot-in-em after a hot-spur run.
