Having spent a few sessions cleaning inside Holy Trinity Church in the colder wetter weather, it was our time to take on one of the outdoor jobs.

After meeting up in town we welcomed Jack from GGHQ and then sent off Musa and Eshan early for the 40 minute walk, the runners did their warm up led by Sam, leading his first session to complete his run leader training.

After the good 4k run out to Holy Trinity we got started with scraping and sanding the long hand rails leading up to the church doors. The old flaking paint was stripped away and the rails sanded down ready for a fresh coat of paint on a future visit.

We worked furiously until we ran out time and then headed back into town, with a sprinkle of rain to cool us down while we added a few sprint intervals to the run.

Four of us supported the council by going door to door to speak to the residents of Farley Hill about the Radio 1 Big Weekend. We checked if they had received the details about the road closures and tried to answer any queries they had. It was a tough one as there were some very unhappy residents but we also had some lovely chats with others.

To mark the end of the football season, grassroots football club 61 F.C. hosted a charity tournament and invited three other teams and their families to join in this very summery festival of football.

GoodGym's task for the day was to manage the car parking and run a carwash to raise more funds for charity.

David arrived early to get the cars park and take car washing orders, then later a flock of Goodgym reinforcements swooped into the park by bike 🚲 and got quickly stuck in to washing the cars.

Man of the moment Musa completed his 100th deed with this task! Well done Musa!

With all the team going at the cars with gusto it was a race to keep clean buckets of water coming! We lost count of cars but it was about 10 in the end and we collected a nice bunch of donations and got fed from the BBQ for our efforts.
