We had a slightly different task for our Group Run this evening - GoodGymers transformed into Santa's Little Elves and escorted the big man himself on a Sleigh Ride around Baffins.

Our task was to knock on doors to let local families know Santa was on his way and hand out sweets, as well as offering a bucket for donations for Baffins Pond Association. The local community were incredibly generous and so many families came out to see the magic.

It was lovely to be part of something so very magical - even for a Grinch like me!

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Christmas Hamper for a Home-Start Family. Your generosity is so valued by the charity and the family are sure to be delighted!

We had a last minute change of plans this evening as our pre-arranged task had to cancel. Instead, we headed to Kingston Rec for a bit of litter picking and graffiti scrubbing. Thanks to Nick for providing the sandpaper at short notice!

I'm not sure anything that happened during our task this evening is even publishable, so the report will be fairly brief. Dave set up for business in the younger children's play house and removed some anatomically inaccurate drawings, whilst the rest of Team Scrubber visited the tall slide and stripped the pole of personal phone numbers, names and various expletives.

Sinéad, Jane and Nia did a stirling job picking up litter by the light of just head torches.

Katie's key learning from this evening that WAP doesn't just mean Wireless Application Protocol. Everyday's a school day at GoodGym!

Helped Cosham community kettle with moving a shelving unit and storage boxes. South today were there filming.

Lovely sunny morning planting trees on King George celebrating 150 years of the Salvation Army also 50 years of the Tree Council. All working together with lots of local community groups and volunteers to plant 156 metres of fruiting hedge. 1,200 saplings planted!
