Tonight, we took to the crown green for a splendid game of bowls, hosted by Scott, his son James and the Chairman Dave. With their expert guidance, we embarked on a journey to find out more about this classic sport. We each picked our own bowl—varying in size and weight—and dove into the challenge. Some of us rolled with ease, while others discovered that aiming for the Jack is trickier than it seems. As we took our turns, the laughter and friendly competition flowed freely. It was fun to try something different and was enjoyed by everyone.

As the bowling season is coming to an end we will see if we can test out our skills again in the spring and they may have a task or 2 for us to help out with too.

Thank you for a lovely night everyone :)

Six Coventry Goodgymers (including one newbie - welcome Andy went to Baby Godiva to help with unloading vans to Baby Godiva's shiny new premises.

When the vans arrived, we made quick work of unloading and moving items to different locations in the new space, including buggies, moses baskets, toys and clothes. Whilst we waited for another van to appear, we sorted the mountain of nappies into different sizes, stocked up the shelves with baby bath products, wipes and other essentials, and recycled the cardboard boxes.

Baby Godiva were really pleased with what we were able to do, we hope to be back soon for some more sorting fun!

What a fantastic summer evening at Green Growthers at St. Margaret’s Church! We tackled the weeding of the crazy paving and constructed an awesome outdoor storage cupboard. Incredible job everyone!

Tonight 6 mighty GoodGymers, with the help of the taskowner and friend, returned to Crow recycling to revamp their outdoor space.

We tackled the mammoth task of relocating 4 tons of soil into towering empty planters. Taking turns loading wheelbarrows with earth, sprinting them over to the awaiting planters, hoisting them up and over into the empty void then raking it over to level it off. What a fantastic work out!

A delightfully fulfilling endeavor! Thanks to your efforts, all the potted plants that are eagerly lining up now have a new home and soon enough the garden will be bursting with bountiful produce and vibrant life.

Fab teamwork tonight, well done!

Shout out to James for organising these sessions with Crow and great to see you back Dani

9 Goodgymers braved the rain this eve to help out at the Food Union allotments. After it had chucked it down all day we were actually quite lucky and only really had to put up with a light drizzle for some of the session.

We welcomed Mohammad tonight and had the pleasure of Dale, Chloe and Dani returning to join in on another good deed :)

With us all running tonight we ran as a group to the allotments, looping back as and when we needed to and we met Jackie and Mohammed at the task. Greg let us in and explained the job in hand, he was a bit unsure if we were going to get it done in the time but we were well up for giving it a good go. Tools at the ready, everyone got cracking and with the help of Greg and Mark we got it cleared in no time. It was a fairly tight space for 11 of us to be working with sharp tools but you all managed it really well, fab work you lot! At the end, we enjoyed the fruits of our labour by trying out the plums on the plum tree above the space we cleared, loving all the free food recently.

The space can now be used for storage and to add logs for another little area for wildlife to thrive.

Hope you approve of the before and after photo's 😉 Dani
