There were surprises at Pitshanger Junior parkrun after the morning's fitness session, with a new clip-on tiger tail putting a smile on Kash's face. She showed it off as she and a second tailwalker brought up the rear, making sure all runners made it to the finish safely. They were misled by latecomers, having to drop back to pick up a new 'last child' more than once.

The other 4 GoodGymers, Harvey, Maria, Steph and Sevan were all assigned to be a formidable cheering force at one marshal point, quadrupling their volume to give the runners a boost to the finish line. As well as cheering, Steph and Harvey played a global game of guess the football strip, spotting supporters of Morocco, Valencia, Brentford and the mighty Hanwell Town.

Near the end of the parkrun, the tailwalkers stopped and looked confused. After picking up extra runners around the course. The last one decided to dive into the nearby playground instead of reaching the funnel, leaving the number of today's finishers at 98.

Many paws really did make light work! When Maria, Harvey, Sevan, Steph Ducat, Kash and Iram arrived at the end of the fair, most stallholders had already made great progress packing away their wares. We helped some people take items outside to load up their cars but mostly we packed away tables, stacked chairs and moved other items back to their rightful homes.

Always on the lookout for the next useful task, we even experimented with creative chair-transport techniques: a trolley stacks with five GoodGymers. The most ambitious move of the afternoon was transporting a piano. Thankfully the team managed it without any bumps or breakages, and it was still playing beautifully afterwards.

With the hall cleared and everything back in place, we were rewarded for iour efforts with some leftover food and a cheerful bunch of daffodils to take home.
