The Magnificent 7 are back!!! Wow, 7 lovely Goodgymer’s came together this evening for a task to support the wonderful charity, Motherwell. It was great to have Alison back with us this evening – so lovely to see you again Alison, we’ve missed you!

We started our evening with a pre-exercise warmup – a few simple moves to get the old heart pumping with a few fun exercises thrown in from the Junior Parkrun team repertoire – my personal favourite being the Gorilla Stomps! (I'm pretty sure we didn't look as good as when the children do it mind you!

We had a running group and a walking group this evening. The runners did a circular route down through Joey the Swan, taking in 2 hills (one up, one down!) and our walking group did an out and back route. We were lucky as the weather was dry while we were out but the rain set in once we got back! It’s really lovely to see the night’s finally drawing out – we didn’t even need our torches tonight! It starting to feel a lot like Summer…..

Back at Motherwell, we set to work with the evening’s task. Nigel had the job of putting a Moses basket stand together (a bigger task than you might think with no instructions or tools!), Karen & Maurice worked together to clear out and sort the stationary/marketing cupboard, Adele, Alison & Emily took on the task of sorting out the craft cupboard and I helped Kate with some general bits of sorting. It was an evening well spent and the cupboards were looking much better once our lovely members had worked their magic! Adele even managed to sweep up the floor with a brush and a miniature beach spade - we certainly know how to improvise!

Well done everyone – another amazing night’s work and lovely to all be together again this evening.

Have a great week everyone! See you all next time!!

Lots of love Nicola xxx
