GG Monthly Social on Tour - Southwark

Ooh i do love a good 'GG on Tour' night and this month we were hosted by the delightful GoodGym-ers from Southwark.

I've been failing a bit miserably with drinks reports of late so welcome to the new slimmed down version of the report - it's a lot more do it yourself - and hopefully i will get these reports out regularly now!

So here's what you missed, didn't hear or just want to recap on:

Heroes:

• Top marks to Beth Hoskins for 21 good deeds in June!

You can access all the info here until 31st July and here's the info from Southwark too

• Congratulations to GG Hackney who had the most new runners last month with 21!

• NEW FEATURE Congratulations to GG Wandsworth who had the most total attendances last month with 178!

• Finally there were 16 new black tshirt wearers (50 good deeds) and Issy Sloman and Tom Hunter earnt their wings (100 good deeds) - well done all of you!

News

• We had our biggest ever event with 176 runners to launch Volunteer's Week 2017 - read the report here

• We had the incredible GoodGym Olympics (thanks Tom Benson) - 21 areas involved, 18 events, two flag parades, a bake-off... and SO much more! Congratulations to GG Camden the overall winners and to GG Lewisham the flag parade winners!

• GoodGym Norwich and Brighton have launched and Barnsley is coming in August - do let friends, family...anyone you know!

Boring Bit

• Hit up the missions please - we have loads, it's a great way to meet other runners, you don't have to run there and it can be a nice stepping stone to coach running too! Check out the new missions selector here.

• TaskForce - I keep going on about it but this is your chance to have your say in the way GG is run and to be a real influence in your own areas. Ask me or your trainer about joining or setting up a TaskForce in your area!

and last but not least...the International Pun of the Month:

"Cutting Hedge Technology" from a mission in Southwark!

So thank you to GG Southwark , thank you to all that came - it was a wonderful night where we learnt that I'm pretty handy in a wheelchair (Massive shouts to Chris (and Hanna who brought him) for getting to drinks despite recently breaking his leg!), Southwark re-invented the guest speech and that a cocktail happy hour will wreak havoc on 'the' speech!

Next month will be in Central London - please hold the 3rd and 10th of August - and the details will be up as soon as I have details confirmed!

That's all from me but get in touch with questions, suggestions and anything else! (pritesh@goodgym.org/07887802793/@pritski)
