Due to circumstances out of our control our task for the evening had to cancel, and so we moved to the ever reliable litter pick. The weather was very changeable, and we had a yellow warning for rain and wind......quite a night for exercise.
We split into two groups, our walkers stayed in the City Centre and helped to clean it up, they even saw a duck or two. Who knew we had ducks in the City Centre....
The second group, the runners, made their way up to the alleys on Whitchurch road for a good clean. It was a nice run, followed by a walking litter pick, some interesting graffiti and items were seen. Unfortunately as we stopped for our group photo the rain started up again.
We ended extremely wet, but don't let that put you off coming back!

7 Goodgym runners ran across Cardiff to help the Salvation Army in their garden. It was a nice bit of T-Rexercise.
This was the second time we have visited to prep the garden ready for planing. Michael got the tools from the shed and it was time to 'Get it on'. Gardening tools that is, no need for the 'Dino-saw' today!
We cleared down the weeds and dead plants from several planters. We also got rid of the rogue ivy from near the shed. Then we discussed some gardening feng-shui and we moved around the pots and long planters to make better use of the space - check the pics.
Rather than 'ride a white swan' we decided to run back with some T-Rex tunes playing on Michael's speaker, content we had left the garden and the planters ready for ready for the residents to start designing and planting in the coming weeks. I'm sure whatever they create will look T-Rexquisite.

Back to regular with a Tuesday task this week, and it just felt right. Michael led the group down part of the taff embankment on their way to Cwtch Together...Whilst we are mentioning the River Taff, goodgym is taking part in a WORLD Record Attempt on March 21st 11:00 - 13:00. You can sign up to this here
Joggers, walkers and cyclist joined forces once again, this time for a good Spring clean of the Scout Hall. But before we get started a quick welcome form our organiser, Sarah... and our instruction to give the hall a good scrub down to get rid of the spiders. Would you rather see a mouse or a spider? And what about a spider mouse......
Adam was straight on window cleaning duty - with the occasional rendition of "when i'm cleaning windows". Rosie went to brushing.....but the walls and ceiling, cobwebs be gone! Ben was cleaning those windowsills, Su, Emily and Dylan were wiping down the lower walls.
Dylan was on kitchen duty with Sarah, giving it a nice clean through, and finally in at the last moment...Lucy took to the ceiling sweeping that we just couldn't reach and the sweeping the hall once we had finished.
Our music tonight, a selection from Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks and the B-52's....A strange combination but a good run back to Rock Lobster.
Join us next week for a Spring litter pick, a practice before our April one as part of "The Great British Spring Clean".

A good turnout tonight, especially considering that we changed our start day to Thursday for this task. Our first task with the wonderful new community centre for EYST supporting Ethinic Minority communities in Cardiff to provide vital support, resources and services to those who need it most.
We met at our usual start location of The Glassworks, where we split into our two groups.
Once both groups arrived, it was time to see this new task and meet the organiser.
The original task was to clear the outside space for them, but this had already been completed by one of their eager volunteers. So instead, we were clearing some planters, sorting out their green waste bin and cutting back an overgrown large bush.
We had volunteers emptying the green bin into bags, it had been used for cardboard and plastic. Other volunteers were then filling the green bin with the green waste from the planters, leaving them ready to be planted up by the girls group in the community centre later on. And the final group were on the bush, chopping down the branches as much as possible.
It was soon time to leave, with some music playing on our running speaker. Hopefully we will be back soon for a painting task, so watch this space.
Join us next week, when we return to our usual Tuesday sessions for a pancake day run to Cwtch Together with optional eating afterwards...Sign Up required --------> HERE
