A big well done to our very own Becky who completed the London Marathon over the weekend. Becky has been training incredibly hard during the build up cant wait to see the medal 🥇

6 Goodgym members met up at the RSPCA this evening before we started we welcomed Nadia to her first session. Katie & Julie arrived first while we were waiting for the rest of the team we stretched our legs by running around the horse paddock. As we finished we saw Kirsty arrive Nadia was introduced and off we went to the dog agility compound. We gathered our tools from the shed and got stuck in. Kirsty & Katie started on the left side of the fencing while Wayne, Nadia, & Julie headed to the right side. In no time we were half way around. Lauren arrived straight from her fitness class. We started talking about Becky's London Marathon & after watching it on telly inspired Lauren & Lauren to register for next years race.

The sun was setting so we finished off emptied the bags of the brambles and headed back to the car park. Here we said our goodbyes and headed home.

This Sunday we have Junior Park Run & also building a big train set for SEN children in Brookwood.

See you all soon.

This evening was our first group run for a while and it lovely running while still light ☀️.

Wayne , Anne, & Alys, along with Quinn met at the leisure centre and ran up the hill to the local foodbank at the lighthouse.

Rebecca, & Julie met us at the foodbank as they were coming straight from work. It was nice to see Allison again who runs the foodbank as it was our first visit back in a while.

We quickly distributed our roles for the evening. Wayne & Julie were on sweeping and hoovering duties while Anne & Rebecca followed behind with their mops. Alys with her cloths was on wipe down 😄 with Quinn supervising us all 🐶.

Rebecca who is currently training for the London Marathon has her final longish run this weekend before the big day 🏃🏼‍♂️ we all wish her well and will be following her on the day.

Anne continues with her training for the San Fransisco marathon, Anne has really been getting the miles in 🏃🏼‍♂️ keep going Anne.

EASTER SUNDAY JUNIOR PARK RUN

This morning was a nippy but dry and 4 GG Members carried out various volunteering roles at the junior park run 🏃🏼‍♂️. James was the run director while Wayne , Adam, & Alys were out on the 2k course as marshals cheering and encouraging the runners.

Alys had been very creative and made up a power up board that the young runners tapped to get a power boost and accelerate them around 💥.

In total today there were 70 runners with the fastest time an amazing 07:57. There were also 8 PB's Well done to everyone.

Next week we should be back at the RSPCA to finish off the painting just waiting for confirmation once confirmed the task will be listed i will keep you all updated.

Happy Easter Everyone, Enjoy the choccy eggs. 🥚.

This evening 6 GG members met up at the RSPCA to help decorate the welfare facilities for the staff members who work there.

Wayne got there a little early and had time to do a 5k run. Anne arrived shorty after followed by Kirsty & Rosie, & Julie Lauren was going to join us after her gym class. Before we headed to reception we did a gentle jog along the entrance road just to get warmed up as it was a little nippy. 🥶 We then made our way to reception where we met Claude who works at the RSPCA. She showed us the two WC's and the corridor that needed painting. All the paint, brushes, and dust sheets were provided.

We split up into two groups Anne Julie & Rosie Started to prep one room while Wayne & Kirsty started the other. We were joined by a very curious feline friend the RSPCA's resident 12 year old cat named Primrose. 🐱 Lauren joined us shortly after and got stuck in straight away she has a master roller user while Kirsty and Wayne did the cutting in. The girls next door were also making quick work of it, Anne being very meticulous with the brush. With all the recent painting tasks Goodgym have been doing recently Kirsty is so confident with her painting skills that she now feels shes up to decorating her house 😬.

After an hour we had pretty much done Wayne was so engrossed in the task that he forgot to open his fast which he did 30mins after the time with a twix.

We cleared up said good bye to Claude & Primrose as we went through reception we all started to look at the animals pictures that needed homes, "Could be some takers"

We will be back to finish up and start on the corridor once Claude confirms dates.

Well done everyone you all were amazing. 😄

On this beautiful sunny morning We had an amazing task that required our help. 🌞

All aboard club got in touch with Goodgym Woking to ask us if we could help set up a big train set for children to play within an ADHD/Autism safe play session.

Wayne, Kirsty, Anne met along the canal to run to Brookwood memorial halls. Along the way Kirsty was very vigilante and moved branches off the pavement that had blown down. In total between the 3 of us we ran 15k 🏃‍♀️

When we arrived we met Richard & Lindsey. Richard explained to us that he set all aboard club many years ago and they go all over the South East bring enjoyment to kids who love trains. We got stuck in straight away by taking out all the boxes of tracks and trains from the back of the car and taking them inside. The great part of this was we could build any tack as long as it all connected. We all started in each corner of the hall and started to build.We were very lucky we had a young volunteer Freddie who was with his mum. Freddie was amazing and very creative and guided us how to build the track. After an hour the whole floor area was covered with this amazing track with trains & houses it looked amazing. As we just finished up kids started to come in to enjoy their play session the smiles on their faces as they saw the track was wonderful to see. 🚂

We said our goodbyes I headed off back to work while Kirsty & Anne ran back along the canal.

All aboard club have asked us if we could help again so look out for future tasks that will be put on the dashboard if people to sign up to.

This coming Wednesday we are meeting at the RSPCA to do some painting in the reception area hope to see many of you there. 😊
