Woking Report written by Wayne
Last night, the GoodGym crew assembled to celebrate Nadia and Andy officially tying the knot ๐ฐ๐คต๐.
Huge shout-out to Anne for booking the Grand Taj ๐๐ฅ. A few people couldn't make it, but honestly? More poppadoms for the rest of us ๐คค.
When Wayne and Kirsty rocked up, Nadia, Andy Anne, Luan, and Caterina were already huddled together around what looked suspiciously like the round banishing table from The Traitors ๐๐ก๏ธ (more plotting on that in a second).
Before any Faithfuls got voted out, two massive towers of poppadoms landed, complete with a mountain of pickles and chutney to dive into ๐ซ๐ง . Rebecca arrived fresh from the daily grind ๐ผ๐โโ๏ธ, closely followed by Alys and her husband Dan.
The drinks flowed: beers ๐บ, soft drinks ๐ฅค, and one absolute legend who casually ordered an entire bottle of wine just for themselves ๐ท๐ (my lips are sealed, but you know who you are).
Between ordering starters and devouring mains, we got the full wedding lowdown ๐๐. Plot twist: it was ALSO Alys and Danโs 1-year wedding anniversary! ๐ฅณ How has it been a year already?! Time flies when youโre not getting murdered at night โณ๐ฑ.
Naturally, the chat spiralled into Celebrity Traitors ๐ฐ cloak mode activated! Superfan Dan led the inquest, with everyone passionately defending why theyโd be criminal masterminds on the show ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ญ. Dan dropped a hot tip that there's now an immersive Traitors experience in town... so yes, consider that fully pencilled in as the next GoodGym team-building exercise (trust nobody) ๐คซ๐ช.
Top-tier food ๐, hilarious chat ๐ฃ๏ธ, and 10/10 vibes all round ๐.
Next stop on the calendar: the Christmas party, with Alys taking the reins! ๐๐ Get your party hats ready! ๐ฅณ๐ป

Woking Report written by Alys Penfold (she/her)
With another sunny Sunday upon us, it was time for Junior parkrun at Woking park!
Wayne, Anne and myself were representing GoodGym Woking today - with Wayne and Anne marshalling whilst I scanned barcodes.
The conkers were in full force today - dropping off trees left and right and having to be kicked away off the course! They brought lots of fun too; kids were collecting and playing games with big kids (a.k.a their parents!)
The crowd mounted up as the briefing took place, with 197 finishers crossing the finish line today.
There was also an incredible amount of volunteers today - 31 hi-vis heroes were on hand to help!
You can find us there every Sunday and volunteers are always welcome, so we hope to see you sometime soon.

Kirsty met Wayne at the leisure centre for a gentle 4k run, finishing at the bandstand before volunteering duties began.๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
