We welcomed Bristol AA Melanie along for a bit of GoodGym Tourism at Portsmouth Lakeside parkrun this morning. It was lovely to meet you in real life!!

Arriving early, myself and Dave started our volunteering as Car Park Marshals. I got a bit carried away with marshalling people in and nearly forgot to head to the Start - particularly important if you're Timekeeping!!

Team GG covered all of the walking roles this morning, with Melanie and Dave as parkwalkers and Val supporting a 71 year old lady to a new PB as a Tailwalker.

Yvonne joined me at the Finish Funnel handing out tokens. Yvonne also helped sort the tokens at the end whilst we had a chat and a coffee on Starbucks after.

Area Activator for GoodGym Portsmouth. I swear like a sailor, burp like a foghorn. Human A - Z of Portsmouth. Ultimately charming.
