This evening Wayne, Adam, Anne, Martin, Susan, Rebecca, and Alys met at Woking leisure centre, James was running late so he went straight to the Woking food bank.

Adam thought it would be a good idea to clock up some extra Kilometres for the GG January challenge by taking us the long way round to the food bank, luckily it was not as cold as it has been recently.🥶

Once we got there we were greeted by James and Alison who runs the food bank. We got stuck in straight away. Rebecca and Alys armed with hoovers started at one end of the food bank while James and Martin with flashy brooms started at the other end.

Wayne and Anne were given a task on the 1st floor were we had to empty crates that were full of books to different boxes, we came across some interesting books. Once completed we took the carter back down stairs to give to Alison.

By the time we got down the mopping had started James and Susan were busy getting the floor looking very shiny. Within 40 mins the place was looking great.

Anne mentioned that there was a new community kitchen that had just opened in the town so thought it would be a good idea to run there and introduce Good gym and offer our services. It was a short run when we got there we met a lovely gentleman by the name of Norman who told us all about the kitchen and how they prepped meals and distributed within the community. He also informed us that at the end of the month he was moving to different premises and would get in touch if assistance was required.

Norman then went back in and came out with a bag of tasty croissant for all of us which was much appreciated 🥐 Once digested we ran back to Woking Park there we decided to do a few laps of the park with James attempting to break his 1KM record, he was gone in a flash…..⚡️

It was a great evening and a big well done to everyone. 👏🏻

This Sunday Rich And Victoria from GG are the run directors at Junior Park Run, I know volunteers are still required.

Next Wednesday we are at the RSPCA..

Have a great week everyone….
