10 Goodgymers gave an out-sanding effort tonight helping Norden Farm prepare their beach for the Summer.

12 x 1 ton bags of sand had been delivered earlier in the day, caught on camera by Amy.

Many hands definitely did make light work tonight, leaving time for us to celebrate lovely Tessa's fantastic 100th good deed.

As usual we presented a medal, ate cake baked by the wonderful Amy who also recited another one of her awesome poems:

Lots of us met Tessa on a GoodGym good deed, But I first got to know her whilst planning the Big Read.

She’s brainy with words and knows an adverb from a noun. She’s looked forward to this poem, so I mustn’t let her down.

‘Where would she go for inspo?’ I thought to myself And headed to the library, and books upon the shelf

I found heroines and superstars from cover to cover But none as brilliant as Tessa, the GoodGym Bingo lover…

When Tessa’s given a Bingo card, it’s like a magic wand It gives her wings to do great things in January and beyond.

Roahl Dahl’s little heroes had chocolate and a peach But 100 GoodGym good deeds were well out of their reach.

Never mind Red Riding Hood, three pigs or bears Tessa Allanson carried bicycles up stairs!

Forget Ingalls Wilder, forget about Heidi! Tessa helped us make the nature garden tidy!

Potter, Grainger, Weasley move aside! Tessa Allanson helped make the path more wide

Hal Beck never solved a cemetery mystery But Tessa battled ivy to reveal Spital’s history

Whilst the Famous Five drank ginger beer in Kirrin Island fort Tessa did a litter pick and wrote the run report!

Austen’s protaganists had sense and sensibility but Tessa marshals parkrun with energy and agility!

Frodo and Samwise might be legends now But I bet they’ve never been to GoodGym in Slough!

So what if Mary Poppins made the medicine go down? Tessa teaches kids to read all over town!

It may sounds like fiction, but this is a fact Tessa Allanson is a proper class act.

So put your hands together for the star of our story Tessa, deserving of all the cake and glory!

Well done to Tessa, Kadriye and Alison, who joined me to tidy up Boyn Grove Park and nearby streets. The park and A4 offered rich pickings. We received thanks and cheers from grateful motorists and pedestrians, and also Georgeta, who was passing on her bike on her way to a GoodGym mission.

I also had a lovely chat with children at All Saints School, who were also doing some lunchtime litter picking.

Kudos to Viv and Angela, who targeted Furze Platt, and to Christine, who cleaned up around Castle Hill. Also to Sol, Matt, Diya and Kanika, who all blitzed streets near work or home.

We all got some steps in and got a good workout lugging those bags around. Go team!

It's always satisfying to be able to complete a job in one session - and we did that for St Edmund Campion this week.

Eight GoodGymers were tasked with painting over a mural in the school courtyard, ready for new designs by the children. They're transforming the courtyard in memory of a much-loved teacher who recently passed away.

We quickly set to work on the wall, covering Jesus (who Sol thought looked a bit like Joe Wicks ) with a green backdrop for some garden-themed painting to follow.

As there wasn't quite enough space, or paintbrushes, for us all to be painting, a few volunteers did some weeding and dead-heading of the plants at the same time.

We weren't quite as quick as a Joe Wicks workout, but within an hour we'd got the job done, covered in minimal paint ourselves. We look forward to seeing what the children do with their blank canvas.
