Kudos to all the GoodGymers who went out and collected litter in their neighbourhoods or where they are on holiday. The streets are cleaner and you burnt off some of the Christmas food and drink - win win!

The first of six tasks for Shooting Stars Children's Hospice to help raise funds with their Christmas tree collection service. And a merry post-Christmas to all!

Xmas day and a few Goodgymers from different areas joined other park runners on a very cold and windy morning in Gunnersbury Park. Nearly 900 runners/walkers took part on a very special Park run : Xmas day parkrun. Different outfits were seen and seems that Santa has twins, triplets or quadruplets and he was all over the park. Obviously we could see snowmen, elves and other festive characters running around. Some runners also volunteered at the end as bar code scanners : Harvey, Tom and Maria. Chikako was guide running with her daughter. At least the outfits and hats kept all of us warm. Merry Xmas to everyone. After parkrun some Goodgymers walked to St Mary's Road in Ealing to enjoy free coffee, pastries and savoury snacks at Pulp X Paperback : donations from customers when getting a hot drink and tasty freshly baked pastries. Donations going to Prostate Cancer UK and Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter.
Good to see people coming out on Xmas day to run. walk, volunteer and be social.
