11 GoodGymers ran and walked 4km to paint for the Ideas Hub

For the first time in ages, we met up on a light and dry Wednesday evening!

We were excited to meet Rachel and Marie for their first GoodGym tasks.

After a more thorough introduction than usual, Joel led us out to our task of painting a new photography space for the Ideas Hub.

We met Sallyann and Edith at the task and got stuck in with painting a second coat of white on the grey walls.

David and Andy eventually joined us, and spent their time hanging out on the dark staircase with a headtorch and some masking tape, followed by finding more props to dress up with, which Richard couldn't resist either.

We'll be back next week to finish getting the photography space set up, see you all then.

What terrible weather it was today - but Fay leapt to the rescue! We were going to be outside but she managed to get us an indoor task at the last minute - superstar!

We met in the cold and rain, the snow long since gone, and had a chat while I got a standing ovation for the quiz victory on Sunday.

We pootled the way to the top of the Meadows, chatting as we do. Good luck to Richard with the course he is doing, and I can only assume Andy banged on about a certain football result from this weekend.

We met Edith and needed to move all the chairs, the dragons, ironing board, and poles (amongst other things) to clear space for artists in the coming weeks. We will be painting the area soon. We were thanked for our speed, a great example of many hands making light work.

Edith invited us to submit a float into the parade in July - she can provide the wheels, we need to get creative and start making! send all ideas to Jenny who volunteered to do some CAD drawings. Should be fun!

Great to see everyone and a fantastic turnout considering the weather! Hopefully see you all - and more - next week! Do also check out the socials we have coming up, another pub quiz next month and a roast dinner on 30th April which Joe wanted to sample now
