Tonight we met at Crook Log as usual. The storm seemed to have disappeared as we made our way outside for our warmup. However, it was still windy enough to keep blowing our cones over for our game. We decided to alter the game a little and had a relay race to see which team could collect all their coloured cones first. After a bit of confusion and an almost fatal collision, we settled at a draw.

It was time to split into out 2 teams.

Runners

&

Walkers

We headed straight for the care home as we wasn't sure what task we would be doing. We made it there in not time at all. Great running from the team and the walking group arrived not too far after the runners.

Upon arrival, we were given some paint brushes and a large pot of paint. Our task was to touch up parts of the coving. We nominated some painters, who picked up a brush and got to work while the rest supervised, making sure that they were safe and holding the tools.

The coving looked better already!!

We tidied up, washed brushes and made sure that there were no drips of paint anywhere... We were all good!

It was time to head back to Crook Log. We had a short jog back before cooling down.

Great work tonight.

See you next time!
