New year new HQ for Kingston this week - out with the old meet up point in the Guildhall and in with the new meet up point at the fantastic Quaker Centre. Led by a fresh faced new Area Activator in Rachel, who gave her first group briefing and led her first (of many I'm sure) run around fairfield and back to school for the evenings mission.

It was there our teacher for the evening, Kate, took over the lesson. Maths was the topic of choice in a slightly practical format.Taking away all the muddy build up and school resources that had beenadded since our last visit, and to tidy up the gardens round the front of the school of themultiple weeds that had. Like all good students wedivided into smaller groups and sub groups, to set about the various tasks and indouble quick time we completed the tasks and were rewarded with chocolate cake in the staff room for being so well behaved.

After school, a few of us snuck of to the pub to let our hair down a bit, before we called it a night.

Thanks to Rachel for organising the Quaker centre as our new meet up point - it really is a fantastic all singing and all dancing venue, for the future of Kingston GoodGym. I look forward to more group runs setting off from here to come. Also thanks to Kate for organising the school mission for us, I'm sure we'll be needed back in the spring again.
