B-I-N-G-O & GoodGym was our name-o

I'd been looking forward to this evening's task for a while now, providing company and laughter on a larger scale to older people.

With it being another wet and dark evening, these are the times when it's easy to feel lonely and isolated so it felt extra special to organise this evening :-)

Niki was taking part in her 1st GoodGym venture so a big welcome!

Kevin kindly volunteered to be backrunner with Mel on photographer duties.

We set off on the 2.75km each way route and when we arrived, the residents were waiting for us in the communal lounger. The GoodGymers spread themselves out amongst the residents and after a few minutes chatting we went into the 1st game of BINGO with the legendary BINGO caller (me) at the helm, although the residents quickly pulled me up on my lack of BINGO knowledge!

The residents were confident and wanted to play for money... shame we didn't as Janice was victorious in the 1st game.

We had some refreshments and more chat before another game of BINGO, which this time Angela won... a clean sweep for GoodGym!

At this point some were regretting downing a can of Fanta and crisps before the run back haha.

After saying our goodbyes it was time to head back, a shame we weren't able to stay for longer but we shall visit them again!

Next week we have a similar task as we visit Redmayne View, which is a longer 11km run in total.
