A typical English summer(ish) morning... in other words, rain + sun + drizzle + more rain

Ofcourse that does not deter any Goodgymmer nor Parkrunner/walker

So a set of GG'ers descended on Valentines Park to help out and/or run in prep for more GG activities...

• Ed guarded & managed the main car park entrance in his usual enthusiastic style - must be approaching 250 times by now?
• Linda rode down and braved the rain to guide a VI walker round for a lap (hence dog pic)
• Sharon G joined the scanning crew
• James stepped in on short notice to Marshall the vital first corner / 1st 2nd lap split
• Peter juggled finish tokens and handed our 426 in total

And last but not least, GG Newham Queen Hillary (sorry Sharon P) joined for the run before taking charge of a lovely local community mission later in the morning - see report here (once posted and link edited)

5 of us arrived on a hot day to pick and pack for Frenford FoodBank. We are all experienced in this task at these premises so (to stop us zoning out) lively music was put on to keep our spirits up and ice lollies provided to keep our temperatures down. These measures went down well with both the goodgym and the Frenford volunteers so we sang and danced our way together through the session and finished early with a little time for social chit chat afterwards.

47 people will be a little better off for our efforts today. 🥳🥳

Three of us arrived at Frenford Food Bank to shelve up two supermarket deliveies. The items arrived muddled up within the crates so there was a little presorting which was soon completed and the items were trundled down to the shelves.

It's not the first time that the three of us have done this and the dream team were done in no time with nice tidy shelves of cans and other goods.

Empty crates were cleared away and we were off home for an early lunch.

As the title says.....

Ed was at his usual spot guarding the car park. Peter handed out finish tokens.

Linda & Kathryn ran round and got picked up by the photographer(s)
