Kate Jaques earned their community cape by completing their first community mission.

Kate completed a community mission. Instead of watching TV or lying in bed, Kate was out there making their community a better place to be. For making that choice they have earned the community cape.

A shed was born!

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

Runners, walkers and cyclists arrived at Cookham Dean Primary School to help remove an old shed. The team lapped up the challenge and made quick work of dismantling the old shed which took little effort to reduce it to firewood "TIMBER!". Clearing the area of lost footballs, tennis balls and even a hoola hoop previously lost into the undergrowth were returned. "Bamboo"zled and raking it in, the team were ready for more.

With the task completed early the team set to work building the brand new shed which had laid dormant on the edge of the playground, waiting for the right construction team to burst into action and bring it all together. Reinforcements were drafted in supplying an electric drill and what seemed like a shed too far, soon became a reality!

With supervisors, assistant supervisors, health and safety monitors and a crack team on the instruction manual the new shed rose up and took shape. Everyone took on a task and even a mid session tea break to reflect on our efforts. I "felt" the roof went on "eave"ntually and we then admired our work.

Although we stayed longer than planned, the team work and committed to completing the mission shone through. With a lot of laughter and good spirit the shed was almost complete. After much deliberation the door baton was installed, the remaining parts were stored within the new shed and the team headed for home through the stunning local woodland and open fields. Just a lick of preservative, roof felt and finishing touches remained.

A location we will certainly be returning too with many more tasks lined up on the horizon.

That is not a time lapse, we really work that quickly!!

We like to moo-ve it moo-ve it

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner

This evenings group run saw 11 GoodGymmers enthusiastically set off from Bray High Street to our destination at the grazing land near Bray Lake. Amy, Georgeta, Rachel, Rhi, and new member Harriet took set off running while Jen led the walking group of Jess, Diya, Kanika and another new member Kate. Welcome Harriet and Kate! Along the lanes and over the bridge they all went on one of the longer run/walk on #wednesdaynightisgoodgymnight.

At the grazing site we were met by the task owner Kristina and a big pile of scrub. The group got stuck in loading up the prickly (a few 'ouch' sounds bore witness to it) brambles into large bags to carry over and dump on the other side of the creek. While the group was busy loading, carrying and dumping, a herd of cows got very interested in the proceedings and decided to get a closer look. Some cow whispering by Georgeta and Kate was needed to stop them from getting too interested in the group's backpacks.

The pile this side went down as the pile that side went up. Some 22 hippo bags worth of scrub* was moved by the group.

Amy wanted the group to do a plank, but by then the cows had decided they'd had enough human company for the day. So off we went away from their grazing land. As soon as we were safe, we were hit by the plank!

Then runners took off running and walkers took off walking and chatting, back to our meeting point to wrap up a very satisfying mission. There's a return mission planned for Tuesday 24 May - sign up here if you're keen to help or just want to see the cows! The session is listed from 9am-4pm but you are welcome to stop by anytime you're free during the day.

*No frogs were harmed in the completion of this mission. Rhi made sure of that - evidence is in the photos.
