“Ole, ole ole” who needs football when you can spend a hot summers evening in the company of 7 fantastic runners for a scenic 6 k run along the Kennett and Avon Canal to Alice Park community garden for a workout with the growing kind. A beautiful community garden it is and I’m sure you will agree with me http://apcg.co.uk/

A few shout outs before kicking off the evening group run, a warm welcome to Jonathan joining us this evening and nice to have our newly wed Mrs Chouler back from her honeymoon.

Congratulations to ALISON who completed the Costwold Way challenge 100k and took the FIRST LADY title…The girl is a steam train. Well done Sam P who did the first leg relay and to Sam O and Emily J who raced The Boat at the weekend.

Boom!! Lucy and Steve are expecting a little Goodgym Baby 👶, that’ll be a first for Goodgym Bath ....CONGRATULATIONS!!

A rather warm run along the canal with a few trees providing some dappled shade before arriving at Alice Park, Our host Kathy was eagerly awaiting us with various jobs for the group to tackle varying water trees and plants that were in much need of a drink from the water butts’ to digging out beds and thinning the trained fruit trees.

THE NAME OF THE GAME

Goal achieved we spent a solid 30 minutes sweating through the allotted tasks, chatting away like busy bees in the evening sunshine and generally having the time of our lives volunteering in this beautiful city of ours.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

A hop skip and jump back to the leisure centre for a cooling stretch out and maybe a chance of watching the second half of the footie. Thanks to ROB for a fabulous pun and OLLIE for leading tonight.

Thanks to everyone who came along to support me on my Birthday 🎂 it was much appreciated.

Last chance to sign up for our “Carry on Camping” trip to Tuckers Grave this Friday and Saturday https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/a-weekend-camping-at-tuckers-grave a chance for Goodgym to get a real taste of Somerset.
