Flyering Without Wings

Roll Up Roll Up…Read All About It

• Sut Yee, Darren and Ricky all passed their Leadership in Running Fitness course at the weekend and are now ready to support Goodgym Slough! Well done guys…now let’s get you guys started on doing the warm ups, main session and cool downs so I can go have a rest…

• Not only do we have 3 new Run Leaders…We also have a growing team of task force members – well done to Emily, Sut, Darren, Ruth and Sandy for doing your training…this means we can do even more community tasks for Slough

• We are also getting more coach pairings on the system, so if you wish to become a coach runner then please do your online training

• The new missions system is also live now hoping to get more mission tasks/referrals booked in too

• With it soon being International Women’s Day…we will be looking at doing a ladies only group run/community mission on Saturday 9th March…more details on this soon

This evening we had a double decker task. We were running one of our longer distances to Wexham Park Hospital to help with a litter pick of the site and en-route we were going to set another team off to leaflet drop for Active Slough to promote their Pilates, Yoga and Zumba classes

Our warm up consisted of a body parts game and as many yoga poses as we knew before heading out…suffice to say…we knew very little

Great to have Brendar join us this evening on her first group run…we’ve been bending over backwards to convince her to join us!

We got to the Wexham area in good time and then split into two teams. The A-Team were to jog on with a Spring-steen step in their feet cos baby they were born to run and the B-Team went on a bit of a bender to deliver the Active Slough leaflets

The A-Team

Six of us arrived at Wexham Park Hospital, donned their gloves and went on the hunt for a bit of a pick me up, with our pickers and sweepers.

In total we filled 3 bags of rubbish. The main source of rubbish were those pesky little butts again

A bit of a sweeping statement but those cigarette butts literally take my breath away….we did notice that the hospital had many a ‘No Smoking’ signs up…hmmm I think we’d love you even more lung time if this rule was abided by

Job done, we down tooled and headed back to collect the B Team

The B-Team

Coma se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa, Shakira Shakira

Does that not just make you want to go Zumba! That was the aim of B-Team‘s mission… to promote these classes by Zumbaing down Norway Drive… and hope those who want a bit of Bom Bom Pow, Hips Don’t Lie or even those who have Moves Like Jagger get their groove on and attend these great classes

(I remember when yoga used to be called Twister…)

Great job by Emily, Darrem, Sut Yee and Harry on delivering 100 plus leaflets tonight....

Both tasks done, we headed back to base for a well deserved cake!

What did we learn tonight?

• That Nisha gets hot and steamy (…..when running wearing her glasses)
• Sut Yee can multitask (….I saw a running Sut with phone to the ear ordering chicken and rice)
• Harry likes running, kick boxing and as of today he’s taken up fencing (though not sure it’s your sport)
• Emily likes to get nakd (….bar to eat as a treat after her runs)
• Sandy is all about tutu’s and glitter
• Brendar is a warrior princess
• Pam looks rather lovely in red
• Darren ‘I don’t do yoga’ Jones…is actually quite good at a tree pose
• Meera only comes to the sessions to have her photo taken (and a little bit of running)
• Manjit’s favourite yoga pose is the ‘corpse pose’….minimum input maximum output

Lots going on in March with it being International Women's Day on Friday 8th March and Earth Week w/c 25th March and Earth Hour on Saturday 30th March...keep an eye out for all the runs/community missions to help celebrate these events

Have a great week
