*8 brave Goodgymers sacrificed their Bank Holiday Monday eve to spread the word about the Jubilee Sports Bank. *

Jubilee Sports Bank offers affordable sporting activities and gym membership to the Kensington Community. They needed to get the word out on their Summer schedule to encourage locals to use their great facilities.

With indecisive weather hovering above us, we wound our way through the College grounds and up the hill to Kensington to start our leaflet drop with competitive gusto. We sprinted down through the streets of a neighbouring estate to the Sports Bank with each team working in relay. It was a close one but well done, with a close fought 2-1 win, to Matt, Tim, Becky and Christina. It went down to the wire with only a letterbox in it!!

Working together we leaflet-dropped our way to Phythian Park for our fitness session. With a large crowd of 1 onlooker shocked by our fitness flash mob we did a sprint session and skipping hamstring stretches to vary our running effort for the evening.

This week's shout out goes to Basma, Tim and Emma who are now well settled in and true GGers. Finding my feet in leading the group, a big thank you for the help from Becky B and Matt backmarking was much appreciated.

Well done everyone for some speedy leafletting and sprinting. Sophie is leading the Monday run next week so sign up to give her and Sunflowers Cancer Care Centre support if you can :)
