Report written by Ruth
How did you spend your Saturday morning? Catching up on chores? Doing the shopping? Having a lie-in? Well GoodGym Bath destroyed a shed that was blighting a local school and it felt good.
This was our second visit to Newbridge Primary School - last time we filled a skip with a shed and a load of concrete blocks that were part of the old playground. This time we did the same - without the blocks.
The grounds are huge - no wonder the caretaker needed some GoodGym assistance in keeping it safe and tidy.
It also meant we got our steps in - we walked one and a half miles pushing wheelbarrows loaded with wood and stuff between the shed and the skip.
Did I mention it felt good? Turns out smashing up a shed is extremely therapeutic. That, coupled with a trip to a nearby café, made for shedloads of fun.
A digger has pulled up the old playground flooring, which includes rubber matting and membrane. This needs to be removed from the area by dragging it to wheelbarrows and a skip.
