Well done to everyone for getting out there on a drizzly Monday.

I think Jane won the early bird award, out before dawn.

Richard wins the best photo (dog pics are always a favourite with me!)

Val & Judy opted to be social and walked together with a coffee stop, cheers to that idea ☕

I was trying to think up a good title but they all went a bit dark...

Today the prime finds were a trainer (slightly chewed), some very full nappies and a neat pile of desperados bottles and cardboard sleeve.

The bin bag got emptied half way round as it was heavy and the graveyard looked much clearer after we finished.

Fresh air and a good deed is a great way to spend a Monday lunchtime. ⭐

We send apologies for our lack of GG branding, the weather did not allow for t-shirts to be on show!

Lovely stroll around the Rec this morning.

Lots of the usual drinks cans and sweet wrappers. As always, an item of clothing. This time, a solitary sock which I will put down to the high winds we've been having.

A few thanks from dog walkers always helps warm the cold toes!!

So I've now got "genie in a bottle" stuck in my head....

Dave and I helped Mr A get rid of a very large collection of glass bottles and jars, taking them all to his local bottle bank. Fortunately there was a lot of space left in the banks after the festivities.

We emptied: 1 wheelie bin 3 shopping trolleys 6 bags & clocked up quite a few steps.

Mr A loves a Bundaberg ginger beer, so there will be more bottles in the future but hopefully he will be able to get someone to take them when there is just one bag.

The recent storms have created a wall of seaweed on Tipner shore, and with it lots of plastics, rope, fishing line, lumps of wood and rusty metal.

Well done to Dave, Sam, Katie L and her crew for tackling the rubbish after Junior Parkrun (and before another GG Mission for Dave!)

3 bags full collected.

We certainly enjoyed the best part of the day at Eastney juniors this morning - the rain stayed away until all the little munchkins had finished their runs.

Aoife kept an eye on the whole course whilst she tail-walked with Aida, whilst Judy, Sam and Katie helped keep runners on course at some of the marshal spots. Dave showed his time-keeping expertise, whilst I did what I do best - making lots of noise as the Run Director. Always one for modesty, I even gave myself a shout-out for my 250th parkrun volunteer this morning.

Go GoodGym!!

Busy week of collecting tubs and taking them to local Greene King pubs to be recycled.

9 goodgymers gathered their Christmas cards and dropped them at the wonderful Hive to be transformed into gift tags.
