A dozen goodgymers ran to do a task at firstsite. We had some exciting news before we set off, including Ian achieving his 100th good deed. Congratulations Ian! This staunch Republican even received a letter from the Queen to congratulate him. We gave him a right Royal reception with a celebratory old thumper. We had a quick warm up outside leisure world, including sumo squats and walking lunges. Helen skillfully led the way through the narrow paths of Castle Park and on to first site where Eddie was waiting for us with a set of gardening implements and the instructions to smash, chop, saw and tidy. We set to work while motivating background music was provided by some impressive hula hoopers on the lawn. We took some photos inside first site to promote anti-plastic awareness through advertising the great work by replastic UK . Tav then led us off to do some fun and games fitness in the style of stuck in the mud and not so British Bulldog. Although it took us a while to understand the rules, we got the hang of it, with Holly, Nicola and Carl showing some nifty footwork.

Great job everyone. Eddie and FirstSite always appreciate our work!
