11 Goodgymers strutted there stuff to Carriers of Hope last night, with a mixture of walkers, making their own way there and runners joining the group run.

A big welcome to new recruits; Va, Chris,Michelle Victoryand Bose! Kudos on popping your GoodGym cherry and rocking those snazzy new red t-shirts Bose and Michelle!

The group runners clocked a solid 9km during their jaunt, Chris and Vani you did amazing and thanks to Laura for back marking.

7 of the gang rolled up to Carriers of Hope by 6.15pm, while the rest of us sweat it out on the run. The runners eventually arrived at 7pm, just as the early birds were knee deep in a marathon of checking expiry dates and organising dried food donations into crates including tins,cans, sauces, pasta, you name it.

After a lightning fast 20 minutes the runners went full speed ahead back to CRCB. Meanwhile the rest of the crew kept the food sorting momentum going strong, well done team! Great to see you all, thank you for your hard work.

Next week is a new task at Earlsdon Primary School allotments so hope to see some of you there!

Tonight was amazing with 14 GoodGymers turning up, we love it at the Food Union allotments don't we gang?! We also welcomed back Jill for her second good deed, yey!

Jackie, James, Nigel and Stuart had arranged to meet us at the allotments, Megan and Tasha took a nice walk and the rest of the group enjoyed a sunny run to the task. Great to be out enjoying the nice weather and lighter nights!

We hit the allotments, facing 5 unruly beds crying out for attention. In 45 minutes we very nearly aced the job that would have taken them several hours. With weeding and composting we made a huge improvement and Marc was very happy with what we got done. Team GG Cov, smashing it!

Next Tuesday we will be at Harmony Haven which is a family hub in Hillfields https://www.goodgym.org/v3/sessions/harmony-haven-garden-revival

Five Goodgymers walked to Clothing Coventry this evening, but not for the usual sorting and sizing tasks! This week we put on our least favourite running leggings and shoes for a painting task! In preparation for a new member of staff starting soon, our task was to give the office space a fresh lick of white paint. Armed with sandpaper, rollers and brushes, we quickly got to work on painting and had soon given the room a first coat, although it looks like it will need at least one more coat before it is ready to be used as an office again. We will be back soon to finish the job!
