Four Goodgymmers helped the folk at Russell's Park Hub carry out a risk assessment and a thorough litter pick ahead of their Easter Egg Hunts on Saturday.

Kristina and Patrick joined Gramps nice and early for a litter pick of the area in the park, surrounding the cafe to ensure that there weren't any little things that could hurt any of the scores of children that were expected to join the Hunts.

Later on, Rosa joined them to finish completing a risk assessment and support Euclides run the Easter Egg Hunts

Happy Easter

7 tuneful Goodgymmers danced to the Leyla's beat at Living Under One Sun as they lend a hand tonight to make the green outside the cafe safe for guests.

Kudos Corner

Big up for for Kristina and Priyen who were joining us for their first task in a while. They were natural-born-Goodgymmers and eased their way back into it with skill and aplomb. Absolute heroes - please come back again!

The Plot Stickens

Under the constant threat of diluvial downpours, our Goodgymmers made their way, running and walking, to Living Under One Sun where Leyla and the team were waiting for us with open arms and a multitude of tasks.

Luos are hosting a big community party this weekend and the great outside the cafe was looking a little bit worse for wear already. So we were entrusted with giving it a nice facelift and that is what we did.

We cleared the pile upon pile of fallen leaves from the pathways, unrolled and tidied away unruly hoses, cleared the green of sticks (trip hazards), pulled weeds to our hearts content, and helped Leyla put away the plants that will be given away this weekend to encourage neighbours to transform their balconies into micro-gardens.

All the while, Latino-tinged music blasted from the speakers and we danced the night away and before we knew, it was time to go home.

We took some photos and devoured the wonderful spread that the team kindly put out for us. And we headed out into the night, dry as a bone and with the satisfaction of a good job well done!

Join us again next week for more fun....

Yesterday we headed to the pump house museum to help paint a new community centre.

Latoya, Louise and Kris arrived at the pumphouse first. While they were waiting to start the main task (painting) they also unloaded a delivery for the museum.

Then the work started on painting (after donning lovely blue boiler suits). The room was very high so some scaffolding had been set up to provide access to the ceiling and higher level. Kristina did an amazing job up high all morning. I arrived fashionably late and helped with painting the lower skirting and walls for a few hours before lunch.

After lunch (in the museum) I headed off and Louise and Kristina carried on with the task. Even by lunch time we could see a big improvement in how the room looked and Sean (who was running the task) said the room was much more inviting than before.

The museum is a lovely place (open to the public on Sundays)! While we were there, some chefs in the cafeteria were prepping for a supper club in a tube carriage, which smelled amazing (better than paint anyway).
