Firstly a big welcome to Steph, Beth and Vicky with particular thanks to Steph for the use of her surname in the report title! Great to have you join us - Vicky looking fab in red.

We love helping the Foodbank and so the news and welcomes whizzed by. Races and charity events coming up as well as our big Parkrun takeover with GB Bootcamp.

The night had a nip in the air but the rain did not arrive. We warmed up on the move and took a lovely jog along the River Colne as the swans built their nests.

Once at the Foodbank Mike met us with the usual enthusiasm and tireless commitment to feeding families in crisis. It was time to clean and the team set about moving furniture, vacuuming the carpets, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen and importantly the food storage area was swept and mopped with style.

Mike told us about the work the Foodbank does as the busiest Foodbank in Essex. He also mentioned that they are fund-raising to be able to buy their own building to avoid rent costs.

After the applause and thanks we ran off back to Leisure World to Head, shoulders, knees and pegs. In a tense final Alex came out victorious. See social media for a clue as to what the game entailed.

Well done all and see you next week...or at a Parkrun somewhere!
