5 Westminster GoodGymers fought through the tube strike drama to get Christmas 2018 started!

A quite night in Westminster with all the tube strikes causing havoc in Oxford Circus.

Great to have Danny along to encourage us to volunteer at Fulham 10k on the 18th of November click here for all information and where to sign up.

Heading down to Pimlico to help Open Age set up for Christmas as they prepare for Craft Fairs, Christmas lunches and any other number of festive community gatherings for Westminster’s senior population.

After 3k of running and chatting we met Claire who had a huge range of weird and wonderful Christmas decorations for us to put up. Using our experience of years past putting up these decorations we harnessed our efforts and got creative and festive as we got that feel good feelings as we danced about to Christmas songs!!

A decorative effort Stella McCartney would have been proud of in 45 minutes of coordinated action produced great results!!

With smile on our face and random salt shakers in hand we bounced back to base with a fun Wednesday evening task complete.

Thanks for coming along!! Hope to see you next week when we visit One Big Family to make good for the homeless!!

Smooth Running

Joel
