A beautiful spring evening in BEAUTIFUL BATH with 15 lovely fellow Goodgymers and a nice 7.5k run out to Action on Hearing Loss to do some weeding for our lovely host Evan. What more could you want.

Tonights run was our second visit since launching to Action on Hearing Loss in Watery lane , It`s a great place providing care and support for deaf and hard of hearing in Bath. No time to waste this evening so after a debrief from Steph and a warm welcome to everyone the group headed outside for a headcount before hitting the streets for a flat but long run out to tonight's task.

We arrived with MOUNDS of energy and our host Evan was waiting to greet us armed with TROWELS AND TUBS ready to tackle the raised flower beds. Evan took charge and split the group making sure only WEEDS were being evicted from the beds and not the lovely RED TULIPS. Rosie, Soinda,Louise and Jess looked just the part amongst the flower beds.

Everyone DUG IN to the task set as we only had 25 minutes after dishing out gloves to get to grips with the task in hand but as I always say, it`s amazing how much you can achieve in a short time with eager Goodgymers at the ready. It was great to see everyone chatting whilst they worked, nothing like meeting new people whilst having fun and doing GOOD.

After a clear up it was time to say goodbye to Evan and grab a group photo and my first and final attempt at a selfie (down under stylie) John was on the ball with tonight's pun in a true UFO style... Thanks John!! We bid farewell to Emily Hermione Jess Alexandra and Rebecca on route with Louise bidding us farewell a short distance later.

Mary was running like a dream tonight and she certainly helped pick up the pace back to the leisure centre ensuring the group arrived back with a precious 2 minutes to spare for a Stava check and a well earned stretch out.

You are all amazing people putting yourself through your paces and doing great stuff in the community and if you missed out tonight there is a run this Saturday so feel free to come along and bring a friend or five.
