A smaller than usual group missing several regular do-gooders assembled at Roll For The

Soul on a beautiful but very warm Saturday morning for a run to the East Bristol Foodbank

in Lawrence Hill.

Led by the inexperienced duo of David H and David G and welcoming newcomer Ann for her

first GG outing our intrepid eight headed off on a familiar route over Castle Green towards

the Bristol to Bath cycle path before veering off under the St Phillips Causeway to the Big

Yellow Storage unit in Lawrence Hill where the Food Bank is situated. Here we met the

wonderful Andy and Brenda who were able to allocate tasks to what turned out to be an

almost ideal number of enthusiastic GoodGymers.

These included weighing crates of various different foodstuffs, and cracking on with packing,

unpacking, stacking, unstacking and re-stacking of crates and shelves. The crate task suitably

smashed in true GoodGym fashion we bid adieu to a crateful Andy and Brenda and headed

off on our merry way (almost) back the way we came, with enough time for a relay race

around the bandstand in Castle Park followed by some press ups before heading back to Roll

For The Soul for as many stretches as we could remember.

Crate Job gang!

P.S Pru here! Great job from Team David, thanks for stepping in to make sure the run went ahead! Thanks chaps!
