GoodGym April Social

SOCIAL! woop woop! hmm, so firstly, apologies for all the lateness this month (not as late as last month's social report... it's coming but read this while you wait!) but it all worked out ok and an awesome TWENTY NINE of you joined me at the lovely Queen's Larder!

Here's the report:

Heroes

• GG York continuing their good deed domination of 2018 with Egg hitting 18 good deeds in March - awesome stuff! Check out the rest of the heroes here or on the photo above.

• We had 22 people get their #ninja tshirts by hitting 50 good deeds, Tim (Newham), James (Islington), Mark (Lambeth) and Mary (Bath) got their #wings by hitting the huge 100 good deeds and we had an amazing four hitting 200 good deeds - Ana, Graham, Joel and Egg! Give them all a cheer!

• Area Heroes! So a massive well done to GG Bristol with 250 attendances and with 30 new runners the most new runners in a month prize goes to GG Camden! Congrats to you both!

News

• Launches - we launched in Liverpool and we have Waltham Forest on 11th April!

• Races - Big congratulations to all that ran the first Big Six race of the year at Colchester Half Marathon, the next Big six is the Great Welsh Marathon on 15th April, we have the GG Euro Trip to Bucharest on 13th May, and then the next Big Six at Lakeland Trails on 3rd June! Get yourself signed up!

• Marathons! We've got a bunch of runners doing Paris Marathon and Manchester Marathon this weekend and then the big one on the 22nd April - The London Marathon. If you're running get your details in here and if you want to come cheer sign up here and we'll update you with details (I can't recommend coming to cheer enough!).

• Dates for the diary! - Two big things coming up one is ultra fun and the other is bit more serious but totally fun too! So GoodGym's very own Lord Coe Tom Benson has released the date for the second GoodGym Olympiad - 30th June - sign up here and on the 20th July we have the GoodGym Shindig - have a look at what we got up to at the shindig last year and speak to your trainer if you are interested in attending.

...and finally, it's what it's all about and this month it got interesting with some live editing on the night and all kinds of antics! In any case there was a clear winner...with 16 out of 57 votes... a huge round of applause to the March International Pun of the Month winners:

"Wheelbarrows to the left, buckets to the right, here I am stuck in the manure with you" from GG Hackney

Amazing - well done all! If you'd like to know more about the edit speak to Aidan or contact Eva or Mireille who have pictorial evidence!

That is that and thank you all so much - i say this every month but the social really is nothing but me sat in a room with my notebook if you guys don't come along!

Next social is on 3rd May and we are on tour in GoodGym Bromley! We'll be at their usual start location - the Bridge House - get signed up here.

Cheers, Pritesh

p.s. June social has a minor problem - I'll not be here! The only time this previously happened the dream team of Paul and Axel stole the show in my place - now if you want the chance to run the show get in touch or we'll get the #PBAx dream team in again (hopefully)!

p.p.s. Thanks to John for extra photos!
