An lovely evening to head again back to Livingstone Primary School in Parkstone!

Once again, Kirsty, a Goodgym runner, and also head of Early Years at Livingstone was all ready for us! This time she had also enlisted her TA's - Andrea, Tracey and Lara - to come and help get some more of the tasks done. It is amazing as volunteers we can go in and help, but when we are joined by those that actually use these resources, it really makes it more special for everyone! Andrea, Tracey and Lara did a great job transforming the stage area with blackboard paint ready for curtains and props!

It was FAB-U-LOUS to have the new faces of Hannah and Maria join us tonight and they were straight onto it with a paintbrush and a natter! Hannah also joined us after for a run and was the only person to complete the final hill repeat back up again and even ran past her car to do the final stretch with us! We hope to have you along soon again to get to know you a bit and join our happy world at Goodgym!

Sean as a last minute entry, joined us from the dark side (shout out to the GoodGym Bournemouth Massive :)) - Great to have your extra pair of hands and joining our often tedious linked conversation!

It was all hands on the deck (or paintbrushes) tonight and covering up those tired coloured panels - We completed the fence and managed to go over some of the panels for a second time to smarten them up!

Sue and Alun had Deju vu after tackling that same bit of tall fence panel but smashed it between them! Shelley and Elizabeth were on site - apparently moving a shed but the photos only show they founds some toys to play with so who knows what really happened (Well done Ladies!) We welcomed back Tim and Marie tonight - Both not seen since lockdown but it was lovely to have them both back on the team! We hope this will be start of seeing your faces more often! Christine once again completed a run to task and back again and Patricia also had the take the hill back to her car after doing some hills so well done ladies!

The short hill session after took in the local area - What a place to train! We got to go up, then down, then up again, and down...you get the picture! It was 1.5 miles of fun for all (well nearly all - right!). So Kudos to Hannah, Robert (as ever busting up those hills!), Shelley, Elizabeth, Patricia, Tim and Marie for joining the lung busting loop!

Have a great week all!
