Once again, we had a team from GoodGym helping out at FoodCycle this week. With Gill on food collection, Martin in the kitchen and Neill and Abdulrahman hosting alongside the other FoodCycle volunteers a delicious meal was served up to the guests.

Five Goodgymers helped out at Foodcycle doing hosting, pot washing and clearing up. 41 guests plus take aways enjoyed vegetable curry with egg, bombay potatoes and naan followed by pancakes with caramelised bananas. The meal went down a treat !

A quick run this week out to the Hightown Baptist Church via a short or long route depending on preferences.

Our task for the evening was to give all the chairs in the hall a good scrub down to remove stains and spills that had accumulated. These chairs are used each week for the FoodCycle sessions so they get a lot of action on top of normal church activities.

With a big group of us we were able to get them all scrubbed up with plenty of time to spare for a workout session in the luxury of the indoors and a soft carpet!

The activities for the workout were all down to chance as we used fitness dice to prescribe each component of the session. This led to a lot of jumping jacks and walking lunges!

We added small recovery stretch sessions in between as everyone got a roll of the dice, and finished off with a round of squash from the kitchen before locking up and heading back into town.

The weatherman didn't say clear today,
He didn't know that we wanted to say,
"Please don't be raining,
Raining in the park."

The sun's not out,
The sky's not blue,
So many clouds right over you,
It was raining,
Raining in the park.

Oh littery, littery.
And it was the first time for Lee.
🌧️
We get our hoops and off we go,
We’re picking litter as you know ,
It’s still raining, raining in the park.
🌧️
We keep on going, in the rain,
Soaked to the skin but don’t complain.
It was raining, raining in the park .
