Spreading Goodgym Cheer

7 GoodGymers and a dog ran over 35k to deliver GoodGym leaflets around Woking. Road closures and traffic delays meant a later start than expected but the great turnout made speedy work of delivering leaflets about GoodGym to the houses surrounding Woking Park. We even accosted people running past to take a leaflet on the basis that if they are running anyway they may as well be running to do good and join our community. Plus who can resist taking a leaflet from Anne? Hopefully our efforts will see more people who want to get fit while doing good join our wonderful Woking GoodGym community. 😀

Well done Katie as ever to for running 5k to the task and to Adam for slowly building back up his running and visiting the gym afterwards. Quinn helped Alys along and Nadia shared her fitness wisdom including "running is like brushing your teeth, if you only do it once every 6 months your teeth will fall out". Kirsty and Rebecca are neck and neck in their competition to reach their 50th good deed. We all enjoyed a sociable run in the humid August weather. Good work team! 🏃‍♀️

knaphill Community Fridge

On this beautiful evening 5 GG members met at the community fridge to carry out painting & gardening tasks. ☀️

Wayne, Katie, Kirsty, Julie, & Nadia met at Knaphill community fridge. The fridge has been closed for a few weeks while Jules was on holiday.

Jules had everything ready for us. Paint, brushes, power tools, & gloves. We split up into two groups. Wayne & Katie started the prep work to paint the inner doors of the kitchen. Kirsty, Julie, & Nadia started weeding and tidying up the bedding plant. We were all thinking about Anne and how well she did in the San Francisco marathon and how we cant wait to see her hear all about it and see her shiny medal 🏅

Jules was so grateful for the amount of Woking GG have done for the community fridge over the last month,

In no time we had finished and we also all got a lovely loaf of sourdough bread. 🍞

Next Wednesday we are at the RSPCA tackling the brambles Anne will also be back 😀

Wow, England are in the Final, do we dare believe that 2024 could be the year... 🤞🏽

This evening Wayne, Kirsty, Anne, Nadia, Katie, Julie, & Clare met at the earlier time of 6:30 due to England's game kicking off at 8pm.

It was great having Kirsty back running with us after her injury 🏃🏻‍♂️. We started at WWF and ran through Horsell Common through the woods and over the new wet land area its a lovely 2.5k run. We arrived at the Church where we met Adrian who quickly gave us our tasks.

We split up into 2 teams. Anne, Kirsty, Katie, & Clare were tasked with wiping down the skirting in the hall lobby and then sanding it down ready to be painted. Wayne, Nadia, & Julie had to remove the brambles from the front of the church so the pathway was clear. We quickly got going until Julie spotted an Ants next we carefully worked around the nest trying not to disturb it. We were working really well and at a good pace as we all wanted to get hone for the game.

The girls doing the sanding were also going at a good pace and did a fantastic job. Adrian was really happy with our work and has asked us to cone back to finish off. Once finished we put the tools away and headed back to WWF.

Next Wednesday we are doing a litter pick in the community and straight after heading to the Soverigns for Ann Fransisco giving Anne a great send off.. 🍾🥂

Knaphill Community Fridge

This evening 5 GG members headed to the community fridge to carry out some cleaning & painting.

Big shout out to Kirsty who's birthday was yesterday 🎉

We were back at the community fridge this evening to finish off what we had started the previous week. Wayne, Kirsty, Anne, Katie, & Alys met Jules at the fridge where she gave us our tasks.

Anne, Katie, & Alys started with cleaning & wiping down the windows of the gazebo while Wayne & Kirsty started to do the prep work fir the community fridge before painting began by giving the front a dust down and removing all signage. Once it was clean the painting began. Alys joined Wayne while Kirsty & Anne moved on to the front of the church to wipe down the signs. Katie had finished on the gazebo & joined the painting team in no time the community fridge shed looked brand new.

While we were cleaning up and putting away the tools Jules kindly offered us pastries & breads from Gails bakery who had made a delivery 😋.

With our breads in hand we headed off the pub to have a drink to celebrate Kirsty birthday 🎉 while watching the footy ⚽️.

Alys was filling us all in on her wedding plans, looks like its going to be a grand event 😀.

We finished our drinks said our goodbyes & headed home.

This Sunday Woking Junior Park would love volunteers to carry out various roles if anyone is available 🏃🏾‍♂️💨
