A dash of colour

Sunday 12th July

Written by Dave M

We once again helped out at Portsmouth Hospitals charity colour dash fun run!

Donna added the run to the day with a 10 miler to the task. Myself, Jen and mini GG-er Alice opted for a motorised transport.

We were quickly into action, helping to hold the start/finish line up whilst it was pegged into the ground.

Then, after a coffee pick-us-up, we headed for paint station 3. We were once again accompanied by some lovely folk from Southsea Castle Rotary Club.

After dousing the runners (and plenty on ourselves!!!) with paint powder of various colours. We ended the morning with an icy treat to combat the temperatures that were climbing again.

Indigo-go-go!!

Sunday 14th September 2025

Dave and Jen arrived early to help direct the runners to the red-istration tent and the toilets, as we all know the pre race wee is a time honoured tradition!

Ellie and the aptly named Blue rocked up and learnt the course before they were to get a mauve on and lead everyone around.

Dave and Jen were then sent to Paint Station 2 to assist the Rotary Club in covering people in Canary Yellow powder.

Soon enough Ellie and Blue appeared through the trees ready to be doused and continue on their way somewhere iver the rainbow. Or in it by the looks of all the finishers! Everyone that came through were feeling grey-t and asking for more!

Once the last participant had gone through with the sweepers ensuring noone got maroon-d. Dave and Jen wandered along the route to ensure that Jen got some extra colouring!!

We were very fortunate that the weather stayed blue-tiful for the event!

It was awesome to meet Billy at his first task. Hope to see you at more soon!

These have been donated to QA Hospital charity shop to help raise funds.

Blue really got me walking now

Sunday 9th July 2023

Written by Dave M

3GoodGymers, a kid and a dog went along to Staunton Country Park to help out at the QA ward walk celebrating 75years of the NHS. Ellie and Blue took on the tole of lead walkers and headed the group of walkers. Not going the wrong way unlike the event organiser! Fortunately the wetaher dried up for the start. Jen, Dave and Alice took up their marshal spot along the course with ribbons, signs and music. A great day out with noone getting lost!
