It's great to combine doing good in the community whilst exercising, and having a lot of fun with like minded people. You don't have to be a fast runner to join, you can be a slow runner, a jogger or even a walker, as I am.

5 Goodgymers picked up the tiny pieces of plastic and wrappers from around the Gibson Centre making the place look spick and span and much safer for the children that use the space.

Heart-shaped shells; painted pebbles dedicated to babies and grandads; metal-detecting enthusiasts; and litter-picking fans......
There was a lot of love at the Hot Walls this evening, and we also had a laugh and a catch-up in the pub as well.
What's not to love?!

... Obviously we're talking about paintbrushes!
First off, congratulations to Val and Judy for managing to successfully navigate their way to the task!
Val also brought us top tips for bench painting from her visits to help at the Dog Kennels. We followed her instructions and were able to sand, paint and flip the benches without too much trouble. Dave may be auditioning for Annie soon with all of his new paint freckles.
With five paintbrushes and six GoodGymers, I was able to transform into a human lamp-post, using our two flood lights whilst stood on a chair. When it felt like my arms were going to fall off, Judy kindly took on the role.
This role then extended to Quality Control, checking we hadn't missed any bits. At one point, Andy was instructed to "get in there with his big brush" - ooh, matron!
Well done to Vanessa for powering through our run back - hopefully the parking space gods are shining on you when you get home!

Congratulations on a very productive Monday, everyone!
We had bags of litter collected all over Portsmouth and the surrounding areas, from play areas to car parks.
Special kudos to Andy for managing a double good deed by reuniting a lost phone with its owner. And also to mini GGer Alice, who was unfortunately thwarted in her attempt to to pick up an old car tyre with a litter picker.
Nice one!

A couple of missteps saw some GG-ers having a lie down between the graves!
Fortunately there was no injuries and the falls were laughed off. With the beer cans and bottles collected we did wonder if anyone else had had a stumble!
A lovely morning in the spring warmth saw us clear up the cemetery and leave it in a nice condition.
