Georgeta and Sheila respondedto a request to help Mr D with some jobs in his front garden. We braved the Friday traffic by cycling there, and assessed what needed doing There was an old sofa which needed cutting up so that it could be disposed of. We turned it over and found it had a wooden frame. Georgeta set to work with a saw, and with her usual grit and determination, it was soon reduced to manageable pieces. Mr D was amazed and delighted. Meanwhile Sheila set to work on the front border which needed to be cleared before the front wall is taken down. The both of us dug up a rose bush and moved it to the side border - hopefully it will take OK. Mr D was pleased with how much we were able to achieve, enabling him to do the next phase of the front garden project.

Icy start in the morning but nothing stops our volunteers from helping!

Harsha was Run Director today whilst shadowing our new RD's, Harsha went to do a course check before set up. Adam was our Marshal 4 making sure children are safe and running in the right direction. Manjit was Marshal 1 - Guiding runners towards to the Finish Funnel on their final stretch. Sutyee positioned at Marshal 3 again making sure children rub towards marshal 4.

thank you for your help

A little bit of litter picking to get the year started... so glad that the epic weather of the last couple of days has eased off, making it so much easier to get out there, get moving and do stuff for a great 2025.

What a wet morning!

No snow in Slough as the rain melted it all away so luckily for junior parkrun they could go ahead today

3 Goodgymers helping to make sure the kids were safe

Bags and bags of rubbish today!

This morning we helped salthill junior parkrun celebrate their final event of the year and we did it the only way we know ho ho how - in fancy dress of course.

We all woke up right as rein(deer) before putting on our best Chrimbo clothes - which for Harsha, Sutyee and Manjit involved the loudest, brightest, warmest.... Gold coats! And there was Noel time like present day to wear them (it was freezing this morning!)

So as we arrived at the park to many a sideways glance! We had to hold on for deer life as the finish funnel was set up in the frosty windy conditions! Once set up we went off to set up the rest of the course - snow far snow good!

The dress up memo was read by some but forgotten by others - they are on the naughty list.
