Another nice festive Tuesday for the team. Tonight, we were getting our craft on to make Christmas cards for the organisations that we have helped out this year. Michael had been busy shopping in his favourite craft shops as usual, and the wonderful Neda also added to the craft pile, additional pens and card plus some beautiful stickers.

The team got straight to work, as inspiration flooded through the office.

Lucy was finally allowed the glue again, after a short ban from overuse.... Less is more.

And now, the new award for glue overuse goes to Dylan. So much glue, I think the cards still drying now.

We have a great selection of cards, now to decide which goes where. Look out for a possible card delivery run around Cardiff.

Thanks all, and thanks again Neda for the use of your office.

A great start to the morning, as 6 of us ran the Blackweir Parkrun in Cardiff.

Emily had her first experience at Blackweir, whilst Darcey had her first ever Parkrun.

Christmas starts early when you are a Goodgym member! Not in the annoying way that shops starting playing Mariah in early November, but in a Christmas task that had us preparing paper chain packs for the CAMHS project.

This is the 3rd year of us helping and it is always a fun and rewarding task to take part in. Now Halloween is over why shouldn't we start to get into the Christmas spirit...actually just bring on Mariah........and Slade......and most importantly East 17!!

Some folks met at the task, some did a loop run from the meeting point and Adam and Darren were late so did a naughty boy run on their own! Once we had all got together we crack-ered on with cutting up lots of wrapping paper to make the paper chains.

A cut above the rest

Rosie was a chopping machine - cutting the exact sized chains using her rather stylish pink guillotine! Neda was also in charge of a more traditional guillotine, the likes of which most of us have not seen since school! DISCLAIMER - don't worry they did their Elf and Safety training first

The rest of the team were a well oiled production line, writing jokes and decorating with Christmas stamps. During the task we produced a mass of paper cuttings to be used in the Paper Chain packs.

Thankfully Michael reminded Darren to put on some Christmas tunes while we worked, this helped us churn out at a more efficient rate I'd say!
