Reading Report written by Susmi Benny
4 goodgymers set out on another evening for our second litter pick of the year. We started from Siren bar and did a loop around Reading town centre, ending by Reading Minster.
It was a cold but refreshing night and we also had the pleasure of welcoming Ricky to the group for his first GoodGym task. Along the way, we collected a good 3 full rubbish bags of paper, wrappers, plastic bags and many many cans and bottles!
After a good haul, we ended the night with a group photo and a lovely farewell. Great job team Reading and looking forward to our next one!

On the litter pick it was mentioned that the council wouldn't provide bags. But Reading Council do a scheme where they supply litter pickers, hi-vis vests and bags to individuals and groups to adopt a street/area. Here's the link (or search RAYS on their Web site): https://www.reading.gov.uk/about-reading/improving-your-community/reading-adopt-your-street-rays/

Thanks Ricky, that's who we contacted before, but will give it another go and see what we can do! Hopefully we will have them the next time you join us :)

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

Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Louise Tyrell
10 Goodgymers made their way to the Maidenhead community allotment to help with numerous tasks including digging out and moving an apple tree and replanting a plum tree in its place
Firstly we welcomed the wonderful Reading Goodgym members who straight away got dug in and did a grape job of emptying the raised beds of soil ready for a new glass house to be installed in its place
A smaller but still perfectly formed group of t(h)ree started by digging out the apple tree and replanting it in the fruit triangle- they then dug a hole big enough to plant the plum tree. I appleause them for their hard (apple) core work
Once the fruit trees had been relocated everyone peeled over to the fruit triangle to start to remove brambles and nettles.
Satisfied with our nights work we made our way home. Until next time
