Tonight GoodGym Windsor 👑we were back at the Spencer Denney Centre for Age Concern.

Getting there:- Jen walked from The Binoy. Mandy walked from home Adam drove as he had a long journey afterwards.

The task owner Rachel showed us the room we were needed for to repaint the ceiling in the IT room white for a freshen up.

After a few logistic discussions, masking up the edges, stirring the paint, placing dust covers strategically we got on the dance music and settled into painting our chosen ceiling zones being careful to not leave any gaps and not get white drips on the previously painted walls. Twas a bit tricky!

As we got going the chat started, discussing subjects from strange films to sick days from work 🤣 not sure how we linked these subjects but we did 🤣

Jen did a bit of face painting 🤣 Adam was as precise as ever 👌🏼and Mandy not quite a precise 😬but we made good progress in our little trio. We patched up a few areas of the wall as well but were a tad worried as it looked a much darker than the current colour 😬 fingers crossed it dries lighter 🤞🏻

Jen started to wash the brushes and trays while Adam and Mandy did the last bit so we had completed half the ceiling by the end of the session which was good going in the time we had.

We had a bit of a chat with the task owner before leaving.

Then we nearly forgot the Windsor curtsy and bow 😱as we were too busy discussing chocolate choices as Adam had kindly brought some for Mandy ♥️🍫 yummy 😋

We said goodbyes and made our separate ways home including Adam who is off to Wales!

Thank you for helping 👑🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonights community mission we were back at one of our regular task venues Age Concern, The Spencer Denney Centre.

Our task was leafleting to raise awareness of the centre and fundraising so the GG postie trio Caroline , Bekah and Mandy got walking along the Clewer Hill Road, Rycroft, Duncroft and Perrycroft.

The rain showers at first made us sad 🤣 but it speeded us up 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ and we had to hug ourselves to protect the leaflets from getting wet 💦 and soggy.

But the beautiful sky, sunset 🌅and rainbow 🌈 made us happy 😀 to be out and about.

Lots of chats about our days, family etc as we went along.

We had no leaflets left so we made our way back to the centre, did the Windsor curtsy and bow then made our way home.

Thank you Caroline and Bekah for your help and braving the weather. 📮 👑🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🌦️👏🏻

Thursday 6:15/ 6:30pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonights community mission was for Age Concern at The Spencer Denney Centre.

We all made our way in various ways. Running, walking or by car. There we had a team chat while waiting for everyone to arrive.

Tonight’s dream team was Marilyn, Jen, Helen, Adam Didem, Bekah and Mandy.

Rachel the task owner gave us instructions about our tidying up task. Lots to move and sort today making the conference desk clear for interviews and to hire out and create more storage in centre.

Helen jumped the gun 🤣 at the start before the before photo. She lost some pints there 🤣

Then the emptying the cupboard doubles team with Helen and Adam opened the games.

Jen and Bekah wrestled with the full cupboard and then did a bit of fencing with the bowling pins. Mandy convinced Jen to be a good sport and try a bit of juggling wearing a cone on her head which actually should be included in the games 🤣

The conference room to garage relay race by Didem, Marilyn and Adam and Helen was timed to perfection.

Mandy did her best to coach and monitor progress of the team’s performance.

The table was cleared and the shelves moved and refilled ... so we had a victory! 👏🏻

Medals all round ! 🥇🥈🥉

Thank you 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

This evening we were back helping at the Spencer Denney Centre, the home of Age Concern in Windsor.

Amy and Yeşim joined us from Maidenhead. Marilyn, Sue, Adam and Didem all met up at the task.

Our task owner provided us with everything we needed to clean the inside of their van. Team first took out all the rubbish left in the van then started hoovering. We soon realised out of the 3 hoovers one was completely full and the other had a blocked head part. Do not fear when you have Sue in the team, she very kindly cleaned the blockage with the help of a toolbox from the centre and Adam kindly emptied the full one.

We spent rest of our time hoovering followed by spraying the dashboards and other bits and bobs before wiping it down.

The inside of the van had not been cleaned for sometime but with a bit of hard work it was sparkling!

Van-derful job team.

Thank you for coming!

Thursday 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️

Tonight we were back helping Age Concern at The Spencer Denney Centre painting the walls in the lobby and doing a bit in the garden.

Who stole summer? Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie 🎶 us some sunshine please! It’s was a grim day and rain was due so we opted in our group chat vote for painting indoors.

We all met at the centre tonight (some walked or by car)and while waiting for everyone to join we played with the baseball in a circle not sure what the name of the game 🎶 was. Still it kept us entertained.

Task owner Rachel had the brushes and paint at the ready and showed us what needed doing.

Special welcome to Nic for her first Windsor 👑Thursday evening session 👏🏻 and Didem has now completed 10 good deeds with today being her 11th so well done Didem. 🤩

The crew tonight were Helen, Marilyn, Natalia, Jen, Sue, Nic, Caroline , Didem and Mandy.

We cleared the lobby area, got set up with dust cloths, chose our preferred brushes and a section of wall.

ABBA was Didem’s choice of tunes tonight although we did seem to get take a chance on me 🎶 on repeat 🤣 but thank you for the music 🎶 anyway!

Sue and Marilyn decided to be brave and did some garden tidying instead of painting and cleaned the garden furniture in case the sun does ever decide to show itself 🙏🏻 and the guests can sit outside.

The others literally finished up all the paint supplies… Mumma Mia 🎶 ! So then one buy one after tidying up and washing brushes in the Waterloo 🎶 we all ended up in the garden anyway … so much for the vote 🤣 still it wasn’t too bad. Most of the rain was coming off the leaves of the tree in the wind.

Not letting anyone go early Mandy put on a quick 10 min Joe Wicks fitness video and we had a go at what we could without a mat.

Then it was time to do our group photo… sorry I missed Helen in this 🥲 then did our Windsor curtsy and say our goodbyes.

Thank you all so much for coming lovely to see you all and some new faces these last couple of weeks 😍

Thursday at 6:15pm is GoodGym Windsor Night! 👑🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Tonight we were delivering leaflets for Age Concern to help raise awareness and to also help get them get more donations.

We all (Didem, Adam, Jen, Bekah and Mandy) met at The Binoy for a lovely social walk in the sunshine ☀️ to the task … yes we did say sunshine .. ☀️☀️☀️

We met task owner Rachel and viewed the handy work from our previous painting task in the entrance and collected the leaflets. We guessed we had about 350 to do so we got started. Making sure to stick to the area asked and not going to houses with a no junk mail notice.

We split up into teams but both had a sunny side of the street tonight ☀️ Careful not miss a door, get our hands stuck in the letter box, working out how to get in some wall mounted boxes and working our way along noting where we had been already. We did lose each other for a spell but a phone call gathered us back. Jen disappeared up what we thought was a short line of cottages and came back with hardly any leaflets left towards the end looking triumphant 🤣

Bekah and Mandy were offered a cash job to deliver 1000 leaflets from a tree surgeon on the roadside but we declined 🤣 not even sure what the going rate was anyway 🤣 worth looking into though as a future career!

Then because Mandy had, had letter box /boxing on her mind all day she insisted on some post task air boxing. Mandy got the eye of the tiger tune on and we made a very feeble attempt at it but it was funny.

A quick curtsy and bow 👑🏃‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️and we made our way home.

Thank you as always for attending 👏🏻
