Another scorching evening at Goodgym Bath, 12 rather sticky runners came along for a lifesaving hearty task checking some of the defibrillators located around the city

well done to  Emma and Joe on getting a PB at The Two Tunnels 10k on Sunday in roasting conditions. Ollie was in charge of the timing.

Congratulations to Rodie who graduates on Thursday....Good Luck In your future.

A warm up out to have a demonstration on the defibrillator located on Manvers Street so everyone is singing from the same page and there was no confusion as to what need to be done.

We split up into three teams for tonight’s task to cover as many locations as possible, checking four vital points for each one, 1.The Ready status, 2. Battery and power supply, 3. Pads connected and in date and 4.Rescue kit with defibrillator. Teams were issued with a monthly check form and pen for each defibrillator to be ticked, signed and their destinations to cover in the allotted time.

TEAM 1- LONDON ROAD- Emma, Ollie, Mark and Lydia

TEAM 2-ROYAL VICTORIA PARK/PERCY CENTRE-Steph, Mary, Pascale and Chloe

TEAM 3-WIDCOMBE/OLDFIELD PARK BAPTIST CHURCH-Alison, Sam, Steve and Rodie.

We set off in different directions to reach our required locations getting  back to the leisure centre at the agreed time of 7.45pm for stretches and discussion on the task and votes on the best pun of the evening.

Check Mate

A fab pun from Mary and Pascale, great night as always. MARK and LYDIA topped the evening off with a spot of Kayaking (at their own risk) looked fun though, if you like water sports.

   

No football tonight at Goodgym Bath, just a spot of running around some of the beautiful Georgian architecture in Bath for the lucky 15 who came along on the 4K to support one of the Guerrilla gardens situated at the top of Park street.

A reminder that the Goodgym Olympics are on Saturday 30th June, Mary has created an amazing Olympic torch to hold aloft to represent Bath Area.

We kicked off tonight with a warm up and headcount with a footie theme (name your hero) to go with the flow before taking the most architecturally scenic route to our task destination, the Guerrilla garden situated at the top of Park street, find out more about them http://transitionbath.org/guerrillagardening/

Bill at the Top of the Hill

A few hill reps naturally and Bill was there to welcome the group and set the tasks ensuring getting the most out of the allotted time enabling us to make a big impact, plenty of room to spread out weeding and cutting back along the footpath whilst having a good old natter. I’m not sure the little mouse 🐁 was happy as it scurried across the path to safety but he did put Lydia’s vocals to the test.

Whistle while we work

A perfect evening for a spot of gardening in the evening sunshine but sadly it was time to say goodbye and make our way back through Royal Victoria Park and to where it all began for our stretches and a recap on the pun options for the run report.

Thanks to Alison for back marking and to Mary for a fabulous pun.
