Tonight we did a brand new task. Yes we helped out at the East Birmingham Community Forum.
As this was our first visit Jamie, the task owner gave us a tour of the building, showing us the ground floor, you can see a few pictures yourself. You can see it's a pretty ornate building, which is being used to help people gain qualifications.
After our tour we had pizza, chips and a bit of fizzy pop! That's a first for any task! Eve certainly needed it as she carbo loads for Half Ironman race at the weekend.
Once we'd had some pizza it was on with some painting. Once the painting was done we headed off. We all made our way to the task running, the Jonny was 'Coach Carter' on his bike!

Tonight we joined our friends at COBS to help marshall at the Summerfield Park 5k, It used to called the Summerfield Smash, hence the pun!
Well when I say we marshalled, Morwenna, Balal and Nancy did, Jonny actually ran the race, running in his GoodGym race vest.
It was a great event, on a multiple lap course meaning we passed Morwenna 3 times, marshalling at the furthest point from the start and finish area.
Jonny got a nice medal for his efforts with a 16 min dead clocking for 5th place.
Well done to all those who made the event happen, the marshals and the runners, hopefully we'll back next year :)

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is working with Transport for West Midlands and Birmingham City Council to enable more people to walk, wheel or cycle to schools in the Stirchley area and within their local neighbourhood.
Tonight a group of 5 of us led expertly by Laura popped up flyers to inform locals of an engagement event run by the charity. Alongside this Laura also took photos of some of the infrastructure in the area to feedback to the charity how easy it is for locals to access the area on foot or wheels.
After a hot ~5k run, it was to the pub for refreshments!

Ok that's an awful pun. Prizes for a better one 😅
We had a lovely group of 5 tonight taking on the Rea Valley path on a 4km plog. It was great being joined by Sophie & Narendra as it had been a while since we caught up! After the litter pick, where we filled a big bag of rubbish, the fab five headed to the British Oak where Laura asked them to put the (Cricket) World Cup on! It turned out Narendra had been to see India v Pakistan and I'm hopefully going tomorrow to see Pakistan take on South Africa. Great chats and a good time spent with one another 🏏👏❤️
