It was a fantastic night to be joined by a group from SR2 who are GoodGym-minded souls from a socially-responsible recruiting company who are on the lookout for lovely volunteering opportunities - a perfect match! Welcome Andy, Caitlin, Joe, Steve, Matt, Hannah, Olivia, Eleanor and Emma, don't be scared that GoodGym legend Dave has completed over 1,000 good deeds - you're all on your way to milestone t-shirts now!

After some quick introductions and warm ups, 15 runners and 3 walkers set off for Southville, chattering all the way and sending Hugh scurrying off for more paint and super soft brushes to go with the brooms, trowel, dustpan and brown paint.

The outside play space was awash with GoodGymmers , everywhere you turned. The very exciting addition of white paint (did I mention the new super soft brushes already?) meant being slightly more careful of drips and spills. Unless you could pass it off as bird poo, of course. Meanwhile Tim mastered the climbing wall and Sarah showed amazing agility after her 45-mile run at the weekend!

Before we knew it was time to tidy up and organise group photos under the amazing wisteria and surrounding the teepee with pencil toppers adorned in white- we don't think Hugh's noticed yet...

There was a bit of a sprint finish to the run heading back to Queen Square and it was dry enough to lie on the grass for post-run stretches for the first time this year.
