A trinity of runners met up in town to run out on a quest to find the Holy Gail who was meeting us at the task this evening.

We had a surprise on arrival as Gail had blessed us by bringing a new team member, so we welcomed Jenny to the gang and set about the evening's task.

The 150 year old Holy Trinity Church had gathered a bit of dust and lost some of its sparkle. To kick off a series of tasks to polish up the church's rough edges we got started with giving the floors a good vacuuming and mopping and also polished up some of the pews.

After 40 minutes of effort from our team of 5 there was a noticeable difference, surfaces were shiny again and the air was filled with the smell of furniture polish. William and Violet, our hosts for the evening, were very pleased with the diligent work of our team and are looking forward to us returning for another visit soon!

We joined the Friends of Stopsley Common for a scenic walk to see various flowers in bloom but particularly the blossoming bluebells. Along the way we picked up any litter and left the woods spotless.

In the end, we collected three bags of rubbish and were surprised the find several crisp packets from the 1990s. We had a competition but David beat my 1999 crisp packet to win with 1991.

Five Fit Goodgymers took on the uphill run from the town centre to Stopsley on a mission to complete a second round of painting at the Green House community hub.

The old Sunday school building has been converted into a community cafe to sit alongside the community garden and be a meeting point for the community.

We painted the new toilets white and primed the fresh plaster in the main space ready to take a nice coat of white next time.

The evening was finished off with a nice downhill run back into town.
