What an amazing turn out for tonight's session. 11 GoodGymers joined the residents at Abbeyfield Wessex for a Christmas knees up. The GG christmas gang consisted of Paul, Sophie, Milly, Harry, Emma, Janet, James, Chloe (and bump) Eleanor, Daryl and Caprice. With mulled wine and mince pies in hand everyone joined in with some christmas karaoke. After a good old sing-along, the GoodGymers spent some quality time chatting amongst the residents whilst topping up drinks and eating some snacks. After a lovely festive catch up, the GoodGymers headed into Bournemouth to meet fellow GoodGymer Keith for Christmas drinks. Well done to Keith and Lea for all their hard work this week helping Westbourne Rotary Club with their Christmas Collection. GoodGym will return to Abbeyfield in January for the monthly quiz. We hope to see you there!

It's been a while since the gang have helped Creative Kids Arts Education Centre.So it was great to return to help out. Janet and Caprice met for the short run to the session. Emma, Sophie and Milly made their way to the task. They were met by Task Owner Cary who had the best task for them, getting the studio all christmassy!! 'Team Tree' was Janet and Caprice, they were tasked with building the 7ft christmas tree. Emma, Sophie and Milly aka 'Team Twinkle' They had the tricky task of untangling the Christmas lights. Once the tree was built, everyone got involved making it as bushy as possible with 'Team Twinkle' decorating with the lights. While the tree was getting all glitzy, Janet and Caprice helped out by taking out some recycling. 'Team Twinkle' did a cracking job, the tree looked stunning and it should do with three sets of lights! The final touch was everyone placed some cute teddy bears amongst the branches. We really hope the children love it. What a great session tonight, it really was fun and got everyone in the christmas spirit. Hopefully it won't be long before we come back to help Creative Kids. Watch this space.
