Not even the end of November and we are already finishing our last card task. There will be a few community run / cycles coming up to deliver cards around Cardiff though for anyone wanting to join.

Tonight was all about the craftiness, as Michael found his newest happy place. A shop so perfect that he didn't want to leave.

All ready with craft materials, they went to pick up the runners. A quick run out and about Cardiff, ending at the task location. We met with the walkers and cyclists, grabbed coffee and muffins and it was time to start.

The task, to get creative and make some cards which would be delivered out to our charity partners in Cardiff. As well as a few extra which would be going out to the care homes.

There was a lot of excitement at the pack of stickers that had just been purchased, and with good reason.

We made a great selection of cards, and will eagerly look forward to the community task to get them delivered.

Tonight was our yearly Halloween run.

Michael had promised that if others came in some kind of costume, he would wear the inflatable dinosaur costume.

We met at our usual start location in the City Centre, after a quick chat we welcomed our newest person Deborah, who had joined us at a goodgym run at Love Trails.

CROESO

After a brief moment inflating, and some strange looks from the pub behind us, it was time to set off on our run.

We had cheers of dinosaur, t-rex, there were beeping cars and lots of waves. Maybe we should have a T-Rex more often.

The task tonight was helping at Cwtch Together, a charity run disability play project, which promotes inclusive play and socialisation for disabled children and their families.

They are holding 2 Halloween parties, Friday and Saturday, and our fun task was to help set up the spooktacular event.

Everyone got into the spirit as we dressed tables, got pumpkins ready, built a play house, decorated the hall and carried in sand pits and black boards.

As we ended our evening with the usual group photo, the t-rex returned for the jog back.

Join us next week as we begin our Xmas tasks for 3 weeks.

With the end of Summer in sight, and the school holidays nearly over, the goodgymers answered the call to help from Cwtch Together.

7 in total running, 4.6km to the task and back.

And what a task.....

The grounds had been set up as a child's dream, with toys galore, play pits and more inside.

Our jobs for the evening were to clear the garden so that we could get it cut, move all toys inside the hall, or their respective storage shed. A sandpit to carry, get those guns going! And the most fun you can possibly have, emptying the ball pit.

Another wonderful evening in the best company. See you again soon.
