On a very soggy Saturday 9 of us signed up to join Valentines Parkrun Volunteers.
Our Peter who has been with GGR since its first session was first to arrive and was on his post good and early with a very bent umbrella, regular volunteer (now a legend at Valentines parkrun) Ed was next along with the Mrs, shortly joined by Jenny, James and AJ. As the first timers talk started we splashed off to our respective posts.
198 runners went by in surpisingly good spirits considering the drenching they got. A lone GG Tshirt was spotted among the runners which we can only assume was Harvey-sorry we didnt get to meet you properly.
Not sure where Julia was posted but she popped up just before the end and set of to bag a table in the cafe. We were supposed to have a picnic outside but the weather had other ideas. Parkrun done Sharon (also celebrating a significant birthday this month) scurried off to fetch her home made goodies while we made our way over to the cafe.
Not sure if the cafe turned a blind eye to us brining our own food or too busy to care but we got away with it. We had a lovley selection of nibbles and of course Colin 🐛 making his usual appearance. With half the table discussing politics and football the other side more into food and other topics, a good time was had by all.
Despite no Area Activator and Central Office being unable to support us in helping to find tasks Redbridge GG still has some active members keeping calm and carrying on. Lets hope we can find a way to get more members active in the borough so we get to celebrate more birthdays.

Another session where GoodGym heroes light up the Food Bank with smiles, laughter, and a brilliant idea—plus some seriously cool plastic bag origami!
Straight from Parkrun we all brought some infectious energy and those light bulbs moments (literally)!
Bags filled and packed ready for delivery for those in need. In speedy time, all deliveries were ready. Another food bank session in the bag!
Before we departed and thanks to Linda's expert demonstration we tried our hand at some plastic bag origami! Forever practical and this time very tidy, all reusable bags were packed away neatly.
See you next time!
