Leszek led the way getting up with the larks arriving before 6 am to help unload the vans, put up gazebos and a fantastic workout in the process. Nicola, the super organiser amongst us was already there too when Stephanie (who was supposed to be leading the session) strolled in at 8 am! 🤓 There were plenty of tasks left for us all to help with and Nicola came into her forte arranging the book stall. Thank goodness the rain held off and the sun shone.

Lots of fun and a good workout for Nicola and Stephanie as we joined the lovely volunteers down at Southampton Old Cemetery. We followed behind the strimmers raking up the grass and weeds. All ready for their open day next Sunday 10th May when they celebrate 180 years since the cemetery opened.

Steph and I were honoured to represent GoodGym Southampton at the Kendal Mountain Festival on tour. We arrived early ready for a mic check on stage ahead of our question and answer session. It was slightly nerve wrecking particularly when he found out 200 tickets had been sold! It became even more nerve wrecking after we watched some inspiring films and heard a talk by two twins who had climbed a 6000 metre mountain in Nepal while one of them wore replica Malory kit while they carried out a variety of scientific experiments! After a quick rehearsal in the interval it was time to go on. We think we just about managed to sunmarise all the great reasons to join GoodGym! Hopefully we'll have some new attendees and perhaps some new referrals too :)
