Benches, Beers and Barking

On a warm evening we met raring to go. Great to see Angela back for her second good deed! Andy is still recovering from his back injury so there were two options for length of route. As the longer group set off Ben arrived! Always keen to have new runners and he changed his shoes and off we set! Great to see our legendary Laurie back after tooth surgery too!

We arrived at the prison and had benches to paint! The plan for them is another coat next week, then multi-coloured stripes (like the fence of the play area) to help be more welcoming to the children. Ormiston Families have plans to add hop scotch and other games outside to help the children on the visits to the prison. They do fantastic work in what must be an incredibly difficult scenario. We got as much done as possible and wrapped the brushes and bags for next week. One superb bench, the others a bit more suspect.

After we jogged back, the shorter route being 100m less than the longer one, and hearing about Erin's lifestyle as a playa, we then headed to the ARU forest garden.

Fay brought Paisley along and also brought some crisps and delicious beers courtesy of Athletic Brewing! I've had over 2500 unique beers on Untappd and it is genuinely one of the best non-alcoholic beers I've ever had! We enjoyed a chat with the beers and then headed home, pockets full of extra cans.

Thanks everyone for coming, and thanks to Athletic Brewing for the treat! Goodgymers get 20% off their entire range online.
