8 Goodgymers ran 4 KM to paint a converted classroom at Sharrow community centre.

The task

The task facing us tonight was to finish the paint job we started last week at Sharrow community centre. The centre used to be a primary school but now acts as a hub right in the centre of Sharrow in Sheffield.

Once again, Maria, our contact at the centre had left a number of brushes and rollers for the team to use. She had also very kindly left us some refreshments which was very kind.

The team was painting for 45 Minutes before the task was complete. Our team was fantastic once again. The community centre are very, very grateful for all of our work. Thank you.

Before long we were cleaning up and ready to move on

Frozen fitness

We then proceeded back to base where we used the car park at Sheffield United for some relay races. All terrific fun. We threw in some squats and spotty dogs - awesome . We are back out again every single Monday - rain or shine. Same time, same start location. Monday 30th Jan we are meeting at Bramall Lane for our weekly group run which may be doing some work at Abbeydale Picture House TBC. Sign up here
