What the title says I guess! Six bags cleared.

We started today with some excellent news - our award winning DJ Andy announced he had joined social media!

This evening, we met in the light and did our usual slightly longer way round along the bunny walks as our task was only on the High St.

Fay and Jess were ready to go, so Edith told us the plan and everyone engaged their biceps for moving shelves and stock from the old store to the new, followed by other items upstairs into storage.

Jen and Ben put on high vis, and wheeled a couple of large units outside and up to the storage area; presumably Joel and Russell helped, but the photos suggest less heavy lifting by them.

Excellent task and workout everyone! Best of luck to the Art Place team for moving into their new space ready for opening on Saturday.

See you all soon,

Laurie

This was my third visit to Mrs D, and it was nice to say hello and catch up. She has limited mobility and needs clear space to get around in her garden. Weeds in the patio area were restricting her access and making it difficult to move around, so I set about weeding and cutting back the garden plants that were starting to take over. After an hour, the space was clear and clean, and Mrs D will now be able to sit out on her patio (whenever the sun finally arrives!)

On a cold March evening myself, Andy and Jen met at the Old Factory Gym ready to set off into the wintery evening to deliver some leaflets for some deserving local charities. After running for what felt like an age ( less than a mile) we met Fay with two bags of said leaflets.

Splitting into two groups of two, we worked our way along the good streets of Chelmsford and then along the way Andy mentioned that last weekend he was in Bolton attending a national hospital radio awards ceremony.... THAT HE WON! PRESENTER OF THE YEAR. 👏 👏 👏

Congrats Andy, well deserved. we at Chelmsford Goodgym are very very proud of you.

We continued posting leaflets until we ran out and then decided it was cold enough not to hang around and just make our way home to warm up and have our dinners.

Well done all to all for coming, you all deserve your own award to leafleting in those Baltic conditions

Next week will be an indoor task at the Art Place in the Meadows

Until then,

RUN HAPPY

We almost left Ben behind, but thankfully we waited just long enough to collect him along the way and ran a slightly longer way round to our task.

Andy and Joel wasted no time in getting a drink, and we joined the others to fold leaflets.

We could see that Fay was keen to tell Andy to stop talking, but we did such an expert job of folding the leaflets that there wasn't really enough to tell him off for.

Disappointed that Sallyann didn't get a pint of wine.

Looking forward to Jen and Jess putting a summer social together, potentially in Baddow!

Next week, Rich is leading you to deliver our leaflets.

See you all soon,

Laurie

Five GoodGymers headed down to the riverside and car park near B&M to rid Chelmsford of two sacks worth of litter.

It would have been more if the bags had been big enough to handle the scooter Sallyann dragged out of the bushes.

Throughout, content creator Joel showed off his photo and video skills. The rest of us just hope we’ll be content with how he captured us.

See you all next week, when we’ll be prepping leaflets for our next delivery mission.
