**It has been ANOTHER bumper weekend for Team Liverpool in the January Challenge.

This task was the third of the day, with a few of our members attending ALL three. It was also a major milestone day for 3 of them with Tim clocking 50 good deed, John hitting 100 and Pauline now on a mighty 200! What a team!

After making a good start rejuvenating the garden at Refugee Family Support Project during our bonus Group Run last weekend, we headed back for more with an 11 -strong group of runners. Coming from a team roast lunch, we arrived a little early and played "how many GoodGymers can you fit in a hatchback" in order to stay warm on a bitingly cold day. The answer incidentally is 7!

A well as more path laying, like last week, we started digging out old beds and moving the compost onto a precarious and rather large compost heap. One of the beds we dug up was full of lovely red-skinned potatoes! One potato, two potato, nineteen potatoes....

Shouts go to Jak and Craig for completing their first Community Mission and for coming out with the gang for the first time in 2020.

That's brought our participant total for January up to a healthy 40.

An extra shout out goes to GoodGym Liverpool's matriarch and all-round good-egg Pauline who as things stand, is currently top of the NATIONAL heroes board for good deeds this month. She's clocked an incredible 37 and is still going strong! Kudos too to the brilliant Sam who is sitting pretty at #10 as the only bloke on the board.

Absolutely amazing work this weekend team. Thanks for doing so much amazing work in and around Liverpool to make our glorious city even better. Rest well this evening and see you at Group Run tomorrow :)
