Millie, Sophie, Emma, Harry, Eleanor, Daryl, Roger, Keith and Lea all got together at Langside School where Nick had more tasks for us to do. Cham, new to Goodgym and to all of us, managed to find us and was raring to go. Sylvie arrived “a tad” 🤪 later…. To summarise today’s task: we were cutting, grabbing and tossing! Cutting A LOT, sweeping A LOT, grabbing A LOT, and the best part of it: tossing A LOT!!! The taller than tall hedge at the front of the school was attacked by the strimmer together with Harry and Daryl, with Cham sweeping to his heart’s content. Millie, Sophie and Emma got busy cutting back the rosemary bush and the garlic…making the air fill with lovely smells. At the back Keith started off cutting back major bushes on the edge of the playground. He was joined by the front squad and later on by Sylvie. Oh and not to forget about Roger: our ACE jetwasher, attacking the dirt on another classroom. As photos show: we got an awful lot done; very much appreciated by Nick who rewarded us with some sweet smelling bathbombs. What a Lush smell 🤗 And… Eleanor was proudly showing off her 50 good deeds tshirt! 😃 Thanks everyone for all your hard 💪 work!

Tonight’s session was all about quizzing fun at Abbeyfield Wessex! This time, Paul and Mohammed joined The Loose Women, while Eleanor sided with The Motley Crew. Caprice took the reins as quizmaster for the evening.

The quiz featured five lively rounds, including a nostalgic "Name That Gameshow Theme Tune" and a playful "Sink or Float" round. Caprice kicked things off by handing out random household objects, prompting the teams to guess whether each item would sink or float. At the end of the round, she tested each object in water—one point awarded for every correct guess!

Both teams brought their A-game in a very close match. The Loose Women scored an impressive 36 points, but it was The Motley Crew who edged ahead to victory with 39 points!

A great evening filled with laughs, teamwork, and a little friendly rivalry. Who knows what next month’s challenge will bring?

The GoodGymers will return on Monday 9th June for more quizzness—we hope to see you there!

6 Goodgymers (met at the charity and were welcomes by Poppy. She took us onto the roof where the large panels for the podcast booth were being stored beneath a tarpaulin. We set to work carrying then between 3 or 4 of us as they were very heavy. Getting them through the door and into the storage area was tricky but with everyone chipping in, we managed it. A great task for Keith to earn his 100 tshirt on! Fantastic achievement Keith!
