Full STEAM ahead... the museum is back!
5 GoodGymers made their way to help the STEAM in Swindon.
- Saturday, 24th of October 2020
- Led by Gabrielle Newson
A small but perfectly formed group of GoodGymmers met bright and early(ish) on a Saturday morning to tidy and weed the traverser outside the STEAM museum in Swindon. The museum is back open to the public now after being closed over the summer due to COVID, so we wanted to get the traverser looking spick and span for the public visiting the musuem (and one of our GoodGymmers who looks out on the traverser from their house!).
Our numbers were upped at the eleventh hour by Charles kindly volunteering last minute. Then we collected our tools and got to work - Simon doing a lucrative litter pick, and the rest of us getting stuck into the weeding. Best find of the mission goes to Charles, who found the decapitated head of a doll, in the same place as bodyless bob... it's a toy graveyard!
Tracey joined us right at the end of our task, partway through her P24 Twist challenge (by the time I'm writing this, she finished - well done Tracey!). Just having avoided the rain, we ended the mission with well deserved coffees and hot chocolates.

It was great to be at STEAM on Saturday. Fab report Gaby - thank you βΊοΈ
looks brilliant - what is a traverser? π€·ββοΈ
Well done guys ππΎ
Thanks everyone! Ivo - it's a "sideways-moving platform for transferring a railway vehicle from one set of rails to another parallel set" (definitely didn't have to google that...) π
In laymens terms - lots of stones between some tracks, where weeds seem to love growing!
a very important machine! great to see it looking weed free and able to go about its business!
