Windsor and Maidenhead Report written by Jess Smith
Five determined GoodGymmers met at the community allotment, ready to take on the challenges set by task leaders Sue and Pat. Armed with gloves, shovels and choppers, they eagerly tackled their to-do list.
Sheila and Christine took on the wild frontier—an area that had become a dumping ground for foliage and weeds. Like gardening warriors, they cleared out the rubbish, sliced through stubborn weeds, and revealed a fresh, tidy patch that’s now ready for planters to bring it to life.
Meanwhile, Viv, Tony, and Jess dug deep—literally! With precision and teamwork, they carved out trenches for runner beans, creating two in bed 7 and three around bed 5. But they didn’t stop there! To give the beans the best possible start, they lined the trenches with newspaper and topped them off with some rich, well-mulched manure. Those beans are in for a treat!
By the time the team packed up, the satisfaction was clear. The allotment had been spruced up, and their efforts will make life easier for the group and its future activities. Digging, teamwork, and a whole lot of chatting—mission accomplished!

Twelve hardy Goodgymmers stepped up to dig up some hard soil to help with ground prep for new flower beds to be put in.
We welcomed two new and travelling Goodgym members, Charlotte and Alice who came down from Amersham.
It was also a special task because we celebrated Louise's 50 good deeds with cake and macaroons kindly brought over by Amy.
The going was tough on the dry hard soil but nothing is ever too tough for this group! Our task owner was very pleased with all the prep work we'd managed.
Hard work done, cake eaten, chatting finished, we all dispersed from another fantastic GG Wednesday mission!

Due to the clocks springing forward at the weekend we enjoyed one of our first evening sessions of the year where head torches weren't required! A chatty hour of clearing ivy, brambles and other weeds from around the gravestones while the sun set behind us. Thanks to everyone (including Amanda from the Church) for coming along!

Goodgymers came together at Maidenhead Athletics club to help prepare the site for sunny days ahead!
A track session to warm us up and get us in the mood, circling our task multiple times. An interval run around the track guided by Leila from MAC and an air horn which unfortunately lacked volume. This meant the difference between fast and slower paces became blurred for some. But we all enjoyed it.
Settling in for the task, some recut the grass edging of the long jump run up. Initially set a goal of half of the run-up. We over delivered and completed a full cut and trim.
The sand also received a good turn over with a good catch up thrown in.
Heading inside some cleaned standing long jump mats before ending the task celebrating Jess and Vivs milestones, 250 and 50 good deeds respectively. An amazing achievement to end a great session. Cake for all, medals worn with pride before heading home.

A cold, but more surprisingly dry night welcomed 8 goodgymmers to Holyport FC for the G.O.A.T of all tasks- pothole filling!
Once we had assembled (like the good gym equivalent to the avengers) we collected our weapons of choice in the way of spades, forks and wheel barrows, and with torches leading our way made it to the pile of shingle in the dark.
In no time at all we had 3 wheel barrows (one with an exceptionally squeaky wheel) filled and commenced with the mission at hand
A short time later all pot holes were filled and we made our way back to the meeting point for cookies and pats on the back for another successfully completed mission!
Watch this space for the sequel!
