14 GoodGymers ran 5k to help St Andrews Youth Club with a boxing inspired tidy up!

A bright and flowing run through the centre of town got us started off for the evening! Nipping around the majority of the central London foot traffic navigating down to the Oldest Youth Club in the World, St Andrews!!

Meeting the Adrian and Tom who were looking after use tonight we had a quick change of task and got stuck into the intricate tidying of the boxing store cupboard!

Beginning with a very long daisy chain method of removing everything from the chaotic cupboard. We managed to wrestle the room into some order, Archery, music, electrical and boxing sections were now easily accessible and in a precise order!

A splinter group had gone down to the always in need of TLC garage to tidy that and get everything into its rightful place on one of the many makeshift shelves.

The date for the GG vs St Andrews Olympics was set for the 28th of November where we will put our efforts against the mighty superpower that is the St Andrews youth!! The overall score line in 1-1 and we want to take the lead!! Have added a few pictures to show the Kinball match from previous encounters with St Andrew’s!!

Quick as a flash we were away and speeding up the famous Green Park Drag really putting in the hard yards for the evening!!

Great to have our GoodGym first timers along for their maiden voyage with the crew and hope to see you again next time!!

Next week we would love to have you as we do a Treat no Trick Halloween Special!! where we bring along anything we think would be well received by Westminster’s homeless community. Sign Up Here.

Have a great week

Smooth Running
