We started the night off with an update on our January target. 38 good deeds had been done already! 8 of which had been by Jason - give him a cheer. Our 200km distance target had been totally smashed, with another 440km on top. Check out the latest here.

The task for the evening took us down to Wentworth Court Communal Hall to meet Catherine from Community Champions. We had been asked to help deliver a flyer around the Bayonne estate to promote a group trip to Kew Gardens (family entry for just £1) and some of their events including yoga, mindfulness and creative movement.

Catherine gave the group a brief introduction to the work they do and the leaflet, then we split up into three teams of four. Each with a section of the estate to target.

In no time at all, nearly all the estate had been covered and runners were back at the meeting point ready for a run back via the river.

The run back included: fixed point repetitions, a silent fitness session and a 30s wall squat finish.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Quiz

Then onto our January social, organised by Will. This included a delicious meal at Wagamama, a quiz and an unplanned mindfulness colouring intermission. Thanks Will.
