Our wonderful Amy is taking on more responsibility at the Stirchley Community Market and so she led us all in a team building task setting up a market stall to see how many pieces we had!!
Laura and Sofeen had put up the stall before so quickly took to assembling the pieces and showing us what to do. It felt like an escape room or crystal maze puzzle!! With Laura's memory and a sort of helpful photo Amy had - we managed to get it together! Abigail and Chris were excellent organisers, getting the pieces ready and coming up with solutions.
The hardest part of the day was putting the heavy metal pieces back quietly while a class was in session in the community centre! We also kept having the door closed on us. Quite the team building experience.
Srinivas joined us in Stirchley for the first time and did amazingly on our 3k run. Hope to see you again!!
Shout out to Veronika who cycled to the mission and then did a run with us! Duathlon vibes.

A typically hectic morning setting up the Stirchley Community Market with bright sunshine from the sky and our volunteers! Amy, Laura, Morwenna, Eve, Christina, Josie and Sofeen came together to put up bunting and balloons and build the outdoor stalls. Josie did some litter picking around the library community garden finding two big packs of lamb! The task was to make the venue look like a birthday had thrown up on it and GoodGym came through 💪🏼 🎉
Big thanks to everyone who came to help set up and down - there’s always plenty to do but your impact is definitely felt and appreciated!

This evening we met with Amy who gave us lots of lovely fliers to deliver round the Stirch streetz. A massive welcome to our new member Abigail, who joined us from Bristol! We hope to have you back soon!
After a good 45 mins of leafletting we went on a 4k run on the river rea with Laura cycling alongside and Chris taking the opportunity for a walk.
All in all a great time with some much needed refreshments in the pub afterwards!

We had a lovely time delivering leaflets to support a community event in Stirchley. Our wonderful Amy is now on the comittee for Stirchley Community Market, volunteering her time to organise the market. It is on the 7th December and you can sign up to volunteer!
Special well done to Eve and Liam who ran around 5k to get to the task!
We did several streets, Amy and Chris did loads of businesses too. Afterwards we all went to the pub for well deserved drinks!
