6 Goodgymmers enjoyed the evening sun and ran to Baby Basics 2 miles each way, Siânna took on her first run in a long time and did brilliantly! 3 more Goodgymmers met us there ready to get stuck in. Not one but 2 new members this eve Elizabeth and Joe, fantastic start, you both got really stuck in we hope to see you again very soon.

Baby Basics are a charity that provide the essentials to families in need with babies and children. After being welcomed we split into 2 teams upstairs for clothes sorting, downstairs for the cot building. We had some tricky cots this eve, the first 2 we tried to build had pieces missing that we didn't have. Meanwhile the upstairs team were sorting between clothes sizes, boy or girl.

Lots of chat about Stu's new Saucony's, myself winning a rock at a 17 mile fell race and doggy pushchairs!

The session proved how valuable it is to check the equipment before being sent to families in need, we have some cot building experts in the team now we have supported them throughout the year, always a task we look forward to, weldone team.
