What a great turnout for tonights task - thank you!

We welcomed back Joanne tonight who brought along her partner Ben to his first task, but hopefully first of many!

We quickly set about the job of cutting strips of paper into the specified size, then wrote some questionable jokes on the back! There were different methods- Ben had an efficient way of cutting, whilst team Babs and Claire divided into odds and evens.

Time flew by, and fueled by pizza, we managed to make 6 sets of 50 ready to be sent off to CAMHS to support young people in hospital at Christmas.

Great work for a great cause.

Tonight's social run was a short and sweet one - Rich led a faster 5k group whilst Vicky's group did a more leisurely 3k.

Back in plenty of time for paper chains at the pub!

The cold weather has arrived in earnest but it didn't stop a hardy team of goodgymers rock up ready to go off to the trenches for their weekly workout.

We started the session by celebrating Barbarapassing her 700th good deed and Laura her 50th, and welcoming new comer Alex to the group.

Vicky set off first with the party pace group and were met at Glen Allotments by an enthusiastic team. Ed's group arrived very soon after and we were all armed with spades and set to work.

The task was to dig one trench of 30 metres and another 20 metres, in preparation for a water pipe. There was some discussion about how deep 18 inches is - quite deep it turns out! No problem for our crew, who rose to the challenge! Within our alloted time we'd completed the task and were rewarded with home made flapjack.

Vicky set of back with the party gang whilst Ed's group did a spot of fun fitness.

Back at base we were rewarded by more delicious homemade biscuits courtesy of Laura!

A very enjoyable task!
