Tonight 22 (GEDDIT?!) tremendous GoodGymmers gathered at the Phoenix to post new season programmes for our wonderful hosts and: celebrate our SECOND BIRTHDAY (!).

It's been two brilliant years at GG Barnet. We've seen members come and go as house moves and job changes happen but what has always remained is a brilliant group that is always great fun to hang out with on Tuesdays. It seemed appropriate for us to celebrate by posting programmes for the Phoenix: they have been our host for two years and remain an amazing local charity as well as the best cinema in London.

We set off with three rucksacks full of flyers for some nicely undulating local roads. Dividing into two teams, with Graham and Avital as team captains, our runners took opposite sides of the road to start posting. Using our tried and trusted relay technique we quickly made our way through an absolute load (200) flyers in no time at all. Which meant! it was time for a workout.

We ran back towards base, stopping at a local closed off road for some laps. We divided into three teams with two laps at a time: the first at 50% effort the second at 70% with two minutes rest in between. The two minutes goes fast by the third repeat! everyone did brilliantly and ran the last fast lap really hard to use up that last bit of energy. From there, it was back to base for stretches and then a pub visit!

Naturally, we celebrated with a Barnet Biscuit of sorts: check out the photos for Fay's brilliant creation. Katie also made us some amazing double chocolate cookies (Avital proclaimed them the best cookies she's ever tasted) and we enjoyed a few drinks at our local, the Old White Lion, at a table kindly booked by Sarah.

A brilliant evening and we all can't wait to see what year 3 brings. See you next week team.

Take it away TS:
