May the force be with the wonderful 13 runners who turned up this evening for a scenic 5k run out to Alice park community Garden, itself a Little Gem on the eastern side of Bath http://transitionlarkhall.uk/alice-park-community-garden/

One Task rained off

Our second task was postponed again due to the imminent rain but never fear next week will be fine.

Nice to see a few familiar faces back tonight

A warm up and headcount with chance for the individuals to tell us something interesting about themselves, a perfect way to encourage everyone to chat to each other whilst running, so this evenings run was very much a socially encouraged one. The run out was a scenic one taking in the Kennett and Avon canal for the most part to edge of London Road and across into the park itself.

Hello Kathy

Our host and lead to the many volunteers who help out in the garden during Volunteer days and in general. Kathy gave a brief insight into the community garden before setting us up with a list of jobs that needed doing at this vital part of the growing season here in the community garden.

Glove Love and Green Fingers

3 group tackling different areas of the garden. We had one group weeding through the fruit beds and mulching afterwards with grass cuttings. Another group digging in the manure before sowing their potatoes, all eyes up on this one and our final group assembling an archway for the beans to grow around.

Mayday Mayday the poles are up

30 minutes later and a whole lot achieved from our wonderful bunch of Goodgym Volunteers.

The run back consisted of those who wished doing a whole lotta sprints and looping back, Hannah was even weighed down with my backpack.... Well done guys!!     Thanks to Ally for back marking and Alison for tonights pun for our group run.

its our group social next week and we are off to the cinema to watch Skid Row Marathon, so if you fancy coming along get sign up and buy your ticket https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/a-trip-to-the-cinema-to-watch-skid-row-marathon  

A healthy 16 came along to have some fun in Bath on a 5k run to help clean all the toys and play equipment at Oldfield Baptist community toddler group with a spot of Flyering on route.

Welcome to Alex, Hannah and Kerri

who came along to see what all the fuss is about, I do hope they enjoyed her first outing with the team in Bath. Kerri has defected from GG Chelmsford..our gain!!

Shout out!! to Pascale who represented the race team at The Eden project Marathon..Whoop!!

A slightly injured trainer tonight, so Steph covered the back and Super Sam kindly led the group out with agreed fixed regrouping points and some strength training on route.

Liz is always excited to see Goodgym Bath

I can understand why though, it normally takes her 2 days to get through all that cleaning and we rock up with happy faces and smash it out in 30 minutes. We get to help out another great place.

A Win Win Situation

Liz soon had everyone organised emptying, sorting and clean everything inside the plastic storage boxes including the box itself.

I caught Alex playing the keyboard and Joe and Ollie trying on the hats, whilst Claire and Lucy were tinkering with the musical instruments. Katey was organised getting the basics ready for the group to start cleaning and she cleaned the mini kitchen. We cleaned everything required in 30 minutes and had time for that ever important group Boomerang and photo before bidding Liz fair well.

Sam led the group back in TRUE LEADER style Emma took charge at the back.

I would like to thank superman Sam for helping a leader is distress and showing true leadership and amazing connection with the group

Sam Superman
