In a change to the usual format, instead of a quiz night we had a Bingo Night hosted by Stuart. Actually, it wasn’t Stuart but his alter-ego Tarquin Flange who hosted the evening with his dark brown wig on.

Unfortunately Tarquin isn’t very experienced with Bingo calling, so he made it up as went along. Numbers such as : ‘Kelly’s Eye - number Three’ and ‘Open the bathroom window – number two’ were a couple of examples.

Charles appeared in his new guise, with haircut and beard trim. No long the mountain man, more bank robber.

The numbers came thick and fast, and a third of the way through Teresa was in the lead and Tracey C was in last place.

It got more and more exciting towards the finish, and we checked to see how many numbers were needed to win.

Then we had two or three people needing just one number. Boom – it happened. From last place to being the winner – Tracey C.

Apparently the first thing she’s ever won too. Forever to be known as The *GoodGym Swindon Bingo Champion 2020. *Well done Tracey!

Then [Richard]( mentioned Porn Star names (can’t remember why), which is apparently the name of your first pet and your Mother’s maiden name.

• Teresa - Goldie Page
• Tracey – Fluffy French
• Tracy – Bessie Ricks
• Kay – Toby Ricks
• Lily – Brandy Aniedi
• Hannah – Pat Saundry
• Charles – Sooty Lee
• Richard – Pip Field
• Stuart – Snuggles Brown

Next Week our Bingo Champ Tracey (or should I say Fluffy) will be hosting – don’t know what yet – it’s a surprise!

Everyone met at the Hall and Woodhouse to enjoy a nice drink in the sun! ☀️

We discussed some exciting upcoming plans for GoodGymers and spoke about some amazing organisations we would like to help out!

It was lovely to meet some amazing people who are keen to do good and also improve their fitness! 🏃‍♀️ Really positive start to the GoodGym relaunch here in Swindon!

Thank you to everyone who attended, hopefully see you all again soon along with some new faces!

It was such a lovely evening to get put and spread the word about Goodgym. dropping leaflets in doors and even having some lovely chats! seeing peoples faces light up when they heard what we do :)

Prior to my stay in Wiltshire my Airbnb hosts (themselves keen parkrunners) offered to sign me up to help at King George V Junior parkrun in Melksham. It was much better weather than we had had the day before in Durlston Country Park. I helped set up the 2km course and my principal role was giving out finish tokens. That's not as easy as it looks when you've got 62 young runners all coming through in rapid succession! It was a really nice park at King George V playing fields and everyone was very friendly. One day I will be back on a Saturday to do the 5km parkrun. I don't think my 2km will be completed in 07:33 though, like today's first finisher. That's a good 1.5km for me!

Along with others, videod some fitness training to help KW get her LiRF qualifications

fantastic evening clearing lots of litter from a much loved Rec. The space is used for families and football clubs and is such an important space. that is unfortunately neglected by some people. so it is great to get it cleared for everyone to use safely ☺ massive shout out to the gang for massively supporting. the cuppa and catch up at Starbucks was a bonus!!!
