For tonight's task we met at the Pirate Park in Windsor and had a short walk and run to our location, Clewer Green First School on Hatch lane. We were delighted to be joined by newcomer Caroline and returning new members Scarlett and Matthew.

Thanks to Anna for leading the walkers and to local resident Emma for showing us the way. Whilst the walkers set off Amanda led an animal themed warm up for the runners and after some sideways crabs, horsey gallops and chicken shoos the group headed off.

The task tonight was to create a children's allotment which included making 10 vegetable and flower beds as well as tidying up and painting some tables. There was no herbing of enthusiasm as the team got stuck into the tasks. Anna and Rachel were just the thicket to cut back the brambles to make the space more accessible. Jess and Caroline also turniped the volume on the piles of wood and cleared the piles of debris in no time. That was certainly their good weed for the day!

We were joined by local residents, parents and relatives so together we made a merry band of 22 volunteers.

GoodGym definitely don't moss around and Emma, Jack, Georgetta, Amy, Gillian, and Sophie got straight to work sanding and painting 2 outdoor tables. Michelle, Scarlett and Matthew parsley'd the test with the veggie patch construction. The winter nights are drawing in and we were soon cutting it vine as the light faded quickly but that did not deter the team who wanted to keep calm and carrot on, committed to finishing their tasks by torch and floodlight.

The evening ended with a quick fitness session on the field powered by squats, bum kicks and joyful pressups followed by a walk back to the Pirate Park. Well done everyone.

Our creative skills were tested with this task - to create egg-credible Easter themed designs to decorate the hall at Clewer Green First School for their Bunny Bingo fundraiser. Lots of helpers got egg-cited and created wonderful eggs to brighten up the hall. No yoke - the GoodGymers rose to the occasion once more.

Egg-cellent work everyone!

We have quite a lot in common with Father Christmas. Red and white clothes, a commitment to spreading good cheer, lots of belly laughs and an appreciation for mince pies. So we were delighted this evening to have the chance to help him and the PTA at Clewer Green First School with some gift wrapping.

Well done to all those who car shared from Maidenhead, and to Sara for making the journey over from somewhere beginning with C (Christmas Common!?) Thanks also to Gillian for joining me for a little pre-session run to test my dodgy hamstring.

We met in the pirate park and started with the important task of sharing out Christmas head-wear, mostly stolen from my children - thanks kids! Special mention to Kanika and Diya, who brought along excellent elf hats.

We had a quick warm up before gathering around a fairy-lit tree for our elf and safety briefing. Then it was time to Dash(er). Gillian and Georgeta (who put the GG in GoodGym!) were up for a run, so they made their own way safely together, while the rest of us walked the 1km to the school.

The school PTA gave us a wonderful warm welcome including the offer of hot drinks, wine and biscuits. Taskforce member Amanda, who kindly organised this task for us, had clearly briefed them well on what GoodGym is all about...! Thanks also to Diya, Kanika and Steve, who also brought yummy mince pies and chocolate.

The PTA invited us to join them on two tables wrapping gifts for the grotto and children's Christmas shop fundraisers they are planning. Accompanied by fun Christmas music and treats to nibble, this task was a real cracker!

We spent a lovely hour busily wrapping and managed to stack up 259 wrapped goodies before it was time to grab some team photos and sleigh goodbye to the school.

It definitely felt like the North Pole outside, but we still enjoyed a bit more of a fitmas fix with our run/walk back to the cars.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight! Hope to see you all in December.
