There was a definite BUZZ in the air tonight as an excited 15 turned up ready for a playful task at Goodgym Bath and a steady flat 5k run out to Oldfield Baptist Toddler group to clean and sterilise the toys and play equipment ready for the children's return after the half term break, this group is run by volunteers in the local community.

Whoop!! a very warm welcome to Helen joining us for her first Goodgym experience and a fine gathering to ease her into the groove this evening. A quick warm up, headcount with intro to kick off followed by a steady run out along to Oldfield park with the lovely Pascale back marking. Just a few opportunities on route to enjoy some squats, press ups, tricep dips and sure! some walking lunges(cause they luv em so much).

It was an added bonus to be inside for our task and Liz was super excited to see us as normally she would spend a couple of days on this job herself and as the old saying goes "many hands make light work". Plenty of room to split into teams each with its very own character captain

WOODY 1- Pascale

BUZZ 2- Dominic

LITTLE BO PEEP 3- Lydia

Time to get trigger happy giving the toys a good old antibacterial spritz and wipe down for teams WOODY and LITTLE BO PEEP whilst BUZZ took his team off to the kitchen for a spot (pots and blocks) machine sterilisation. I can't say I didn't catch them playing ON or WITH anything, because I would be LYING to you. They were on fire tonight so even managed to scrub down a sheet of linoleum and everything done and dusted in 40 minutes, leaving one very happy host behind. Great to see everyone enjoying themselves. Well done guys ... another good deed in the bag.

Remember to bring your ID along to the next group run, we have isolated older people waiting to get paired up so let's give them something to look forward to soon.

Thanks guys for being ever amazing and a joy to be around.
