ICE ICE B-BABY!

Yes, it was a chilly icy one out there on our group run with ice underfoot, so we took it super steady on the run out to Abbeydale Picture House to ensure we all stayed on 2 feet and had no Bambi incidents.

SANTA! I KNOW HIM!

This week Santa joined us as our Xmas back marker, festively lit up to spread Xmas cheer for all around. Great work Santa!

NO, NO, NOTORIOUS

On arrival to the Picture House we were greeted by NOTORIOUS NICK who gave lead us up through the back entrance as private screening was ongoing in the main cinema room with Sheffield based Salt Street productions.

We went all the way to the top for our brief where we were greeted by the Picture House's very own pigeon who was very calm throughout the task and thankfully did not decide to go to the toilet on anyones head during the evening.

Nick gave us the briefs and we split into 3 teams:

  1. TEAM Scrub a dub dub (prepare)
  2. TEAM PVA glue the walls (seal)
  3. TEAM White wall Xmas (paint)

All the teams got straight to the task delivering a 3 pronged attack to prepare, seal and paint the walls to make the rooms usable in the near future.

IT'S FITNESS, IT'S FITNESS TIME!

Once time was up we headed back out into the cold winter air for a big thank you and Merry Xmas from Nick and then headed home toward the Showroom with a stop off at our fave park for some winter warming fitness which this week inc:

  • Paired Arm Rows
  • Static Sprints
  • The Circle of Merkel

To finish off and to ensure we were not slipping on the ice we finished with a squat challenge to the tune of 'FLOWER' by Moby, squating to the commands of 'bring Sally up, bring Sally down' which at around 3mins 30s starts to burn! Everyone got the end and will be the better for it, well done team!

BEANIE BABY

On arrival back at based we stretched of and heard announcements before heading into the warm where a surprise was in store for Kim from Lilli who has skillfully crafted a GG chunky knit beanie!

Until after Xmas, have a great break and look forward to seeing you all on the 1st Jan!
