This evening's group run broke new attendance record for Bournemouth. Mainly thanks to 9 amazing humans coming to do some good from 3 Sided Cube. They came along last year as part of their 12 days of Christmas project where they volunteer at twelve different organisations to spread the Christmas spirit. You guys were great, and we'd love you to come along more often. Keep an eye on the website and if you see any group runs that tickle your fancy, come and join us, you're always welcome.

It was also special because we welcomed back Andrea who we had been missing for a while....hopefully things settle down for you and we get to hang out more often! We miss you!!!

We were extremely lucky again this week with the weather. It had been raining on and off most of the day and twenty minutes before our meeting time the weather decided to mellow and allow us to get out and do our good deed for the day! We are very grateful! Most of us misjudged the temperature and as a result had extra layers on....way too many layers and soon after the first hill climb onto the overcliff that's when we realised we had made a mistake.... But the gang stayed positive and split up into different paced groups. Caprice made sure no one was left behind by themselves!

When we got there Alex explained what needed doing and everyone grabbed donation boxes and starting sorting through dates and products. We only had 25 minutes but everyone moved super quick! In no time we had managed to clear so many boxes and even had time for team photos at the end too!

The run back was a little more direct and with less hills as we were trying to get back in time to collect our bags at exactly 8pm. And it still wasn't raining either! How lucky are we!? Must be all that good karma we have been building up!

Next week we are doing a shorter run, it's a flyer drop for the YMCA. Check it out here and sign up!

Well done everyone! We are out for our Christmas dinner this Friday but will be in town around 20:30 for drinks so get in touch if you would like to join us!
