The railings along St Marks Community Centre needed a re-shine so we started the task by brushing off the old flakey paint, before we started to paint the railings to give it a re-shine with new black sticky paint and we were offered some short breads to keep us going and so we maybe doing some more in the coming months?

Two Goodgymers joined the Moorland road library team at the Two Tunnels races in Bath. We helped hand out race bib numbers, medals and refreshments. Over 1,000 runners came through the registrations tent, including some Goodgymers who had signed up to run it!

Moorland road library is a community library that relies upon public funding. By volunteering for them at the Two Tunnels race we helped to raise funds to keep them going :)

Sometimes at GoodGym we’re just too darned efficient here in Bath!

Today our mission was at the British Heart Foundation shop in town.

I say the shop … this was our second problem. There are actually currently two shops, and as we’ve done a couple of times in the past the task was to transfer a pile of books between one branch and the other.

The bulk of us arrived, checked in, and loaded up with our first bundle of books. Back outside the shop we met Stephen and set off over to the other branch a few streets away.

In the meantime Dan and Ellie arrived at our original rendezvous, and to compound our nightmare even more, as is it often the trouble in town telecommunications weren’t the best, and somehow we managed to completely miss each other. We’re really sorry guys!!

We only had a handful more books to transport, but by the time we returned to store #1 to get them we’d managed to miss them again.

Finishing up super early we retired to a nearby pub for a coffee/hot chocolate, and where Stephen and Meyrick had a long natter sharing detailed beard-care tips.
