Three runners braved the wind and meet at Alum Chine to do a litter pick.We started off by walking round the cafe and children's play park,Followed by the car park.We managed to collect a small amount of litter so we headed up the chine where we managed to collect a lot more litter.No the way up the chine i was shown a gate that goes no where except straight down into the chine. In the end we managed to collect two bags of litter,so every one can enjoy the chine without seeing litter.

Six runners braved the weather and came to the Care Home for the first quiz of the year and boy what a surprise we had they put on a supper for us Cheese and Biscuits snacks and one resident made a cake plus there was even wine it was a nice surprise.We split into two teams ,the names being Next Door To The Fridge,and The Octagons.We had 30 questions ,20 questions on 2025 and 10 on General knowledge.In the end it was a tie on 19 points each so we had a tie brake and the winner was Next Door To The Fridge.After which we all had supper which was every nice we where spoilt.We shall be back to the Care Home on the 9th Febuary please put the date in your Diaries.

Three Goodgymmers, Daryl, Keith and Lea, had another lovely time walking along Santa's sleigh. Well, the beginning was certainly lovely, but whether there were so many more children to talk to Santa or people coming out to greet Santa, it certainly wasn't the fastest route! But whether slow or fast: the shining eyes of all the kiddies makes it all worthwhile. And going by the weight of the buckets.... another successful night, for sure. And the weather gods were once again smiling down on us.

Five , Sophie, Harry, Mary, Keith and Lea, turned up at the Salvation Army in Poole. Well, we had to find the entrance first…Wow, so many toys!!! And so many bags to be filled with those toys. With perfect preparation and organisation by the Salvation Army people the whole thing ran like clockwork. With 176 children on their list, a lot needed to be sorted and put in bags per family. What a delightful task, esp when imagining the smiles of the kids getting the toys.
