GG News Lots of good lucks and well dones this week!!

• Myself and James took on the Brutal last weekend - it was VERY muddy and wet. James came 16th in the 5km and myself won the female 10km.
• This weekend is the Surrey Half Marathon - with many members taking on the roads of Woking. A big good luck to Owen, James and Adam... if I have forgotten anyone please let me know.
• Also to Anne who is volunteering at the event - she will be at the finish line handing out your goodie bags and maybe you medal if they arrive on time.

last Night at GG

Last night 7 members met at the Woking leisure centre - in true fashion, James 2 mins late....and Tom making James not look so late arrived just after. Adam took us out for a different route to the food bank - with everyone enjoying the nice steep climb! Once arrived at the Foodbank we were met by Rosemary who let us get on with our duties. It was perfect team work with everyone getting on with their role of hoovering and moping up.

As the weather was gloomy we had a night with a difference... we set off with a gentle jog to the local pub. A big thank you to Tom and James for getting the round of drinks.

After a drink with a chat we set off in our different directions back home.

Next week We are meeting at the WWF carpark for a night at church!

Last night at GG

Last night there was a slight change to the plan due to the Foodbank having an event on in the evening so we have had to swap weeks. So last night we hit to the streets of Woking to help spread some GG love. With leaflets at the ready we took on some running and threw in some core exercises along the way.

NEXT WEEK We are meeting the leisure centre for some food bank action.

If you have nay vegetables or fruit you would like to grow this year in our allotment then please let me know!

Tonight at GG

A welcome back to Bel and Abi who had taken a little GG break, the cold evening didn't put them off. Tonight we were off to help Besom, Besom have the same similar values as GG. The focus on the Besom is and always has been on those who have something to give, but are looking for a way to do so. Besom encourages involved giving out of a sense of love, as opposed to duty, and offers people the opportunity to think creatively about how they would like to give. To help Besom we headed to clear an alley near one of there residents. It was over grown and was starting to take over the gentleman's access to his back gate.

What a great task - and what a great result! A big well done to everyone. We even saw some fire engine action.

This weekend Good luck to everyone who is training for the Surrey Half Marathon and any other crazy events you have planned. There is a Community mission for the Junior Park Run this Sunday - get signed up and let them know you are happy to help. I'm off running the G3 race this Saturday at Newlands Corner.... more hills!!
