25 Goodgymers ran 4km to help Scope Charity Shop sort donations, price tag, clean and more!

Welcome along to Mary whose first time it was last night - woop woop!

In the news this week:

  1. Well done to all the Goodgymers who raced over the bank holiday weekend, at Edinburgh Marathon Festival, London 10k and elsewhere.
  2. Particularly well done to Steve Coman who did a 3.49 marathon in Edinburgh and won his Age Category!
  3. Night of the PB's - one of the best evenings of free live track running in the country is on Saturday 6th July - go along. We are looking for volunteers on top of spectators - more info here.
  4. Well done to Liz who recently hit 100 missions. All in a year - hero!
  5. GG Monthly Social next Thursday - in Central London. More details to follow!

After a thorough warm up we headed the 1km to Scope Charity Shop. Helen, the manager, was as organised as ever with a list of tasks to do and the amount of people needed for each task. This included:

  • Hiren and Denis did a stock check
  • Tom and John measured and labeled trousers
  • Katherine and Chris did a thorough job of cleaning the shop
  • A big team in the back room sorted new donations and price tagging
  • Sorting cubs - Ian was cubeman!
  • Pippa did some data protection based ripping and binning
  • Another big team in the middle room labeled new clothes and colour disc system
  • Catriona and Beth hoovered and cleaned the upstairs, kitchen and toilet

Over 45 minutes everyone did a fantastic job helping the charity shop and making a real impact. We unfortunately discovered an extremely scary doll and Pritesh wore a strange jacket. Equally scary!

After finishing up our jobs we headed to the canal, Granary Square and home to the pub.
