384 people ran/walked/jogged on a lovely cool morning after rain overnight. I even saw a puddle! As todays date was 22 August, it was our favourite TU TU day so there was a variety on show! Roisin was out on the course, Susanna was giving out tokens, Frankie number checker for the first time, me barcode scanner. plenty of Goodgymers running today

what a lovely cool temperature this morning & 351 people agreed & ventured to Catton Park including our very own Maddy (&bump) doing her 200th parkrun .

Our biggest group of the year - 19 GoodGymer's assembled at Oxfam store Magdalen Street.

Shout out's to Emma attending her first session, Maddy & Jack returning after a break, and Stephen who completed his 250th session!

In a scene similar to 60 Minute Makeover, Emily gave out the tasks for the evening (clean as much as possible) and the team spread out armed with hoovers, dusters, scrapers, tackling any surface that needed a clean. Even the toilet floors were given a thorough working over!

The floor downstairs was the main target, with dirt marks leaving a trail like foot prints - the big question was who was the culprit?

In a hour we had covered nearly every shelf, table and flooring, leaving the store looking transformed!

Well done team, it was a fantastic effort. Also best wishes to Jordan who moves north next month.

9 quick juniors sped around the 2k course on the coolest Sunday for many weeks, hurrah!
Over at Waterloo Park Juniors 136 juniors enjoyed the same. Well done Emily & Brad for volunteering there.

We arrived in good time for Mr. D's sofa move and were delighted to find the replacement chair had been taken into the flat already, so we were only focussing on taking the old one away. It was an incredibly hot day and the work was massively sweat inducing.

The chair wasn't too heavy and we managed to get it down the stairs fairly easily, parking it next to the building's bins for collection. We then moved the much much heavier replacement chair into position and we were on our way.

Mr and Mrs D were incredibly happy with the results!

It was a short trip to Mr J's house for this task, but in really intense heat.

Mr J had trouble with lots of leaves blowing in from the outside into his porch, with him unable to vacuum as much as he'd like. The leaves from the oak nearby had been doing some shedding due to the hear. I got stuck in with a broom, dustpan and brush and cleared as much of an area as possible around his main door, this helped him massively and he was really grateful, by the time I left there were not many leaves left to blow in at all!
