Report written by Bournemouth runner
Last night we were lucky to help spread the word about a great event that Abi was organising for local children to express themselves through their creative side. The Big Draw takes place 15-16th of February at the Sovereign Shopping Centre. check it out
We were also delighted to welcome Millie to her first group run, she found us through all the recent Facebook promotions that GoodGym has been doing. Excellent! Millie has only been in town for 3 months, having moved here from Hamburg. she did really well on the run and was lovely to chat to, we super hope you come again next week!
Maria also joined us again after some time off, coming along to help her friend Abi! We love kind people at GoodGym!!
Our task took us to Boscombe to residential streets that we hoped were filled with families rather than students. After running past a police car taking a rather upset lady away...we came to our starting spot and after a discussion on the best way to do the drop we set off!
We ran, jogged and walked to try and keep warm but it was so cold outside that our hands were frozen! We discovered that about 90% of the letterboxes had those draft protectors....not ideal when you are trying to slide through a thin flyer with frozen fingers! But as always the group stayed positive and energetic and we all came up with different techniques! We also had the full moon guiding our way!
We managed to hit a lot of houses and after our time was up we headed back to warm up with some Indian food....food was great and so was the company....the heating however.......
Next week we are doing another flyer drop. This time in a different area so come along and help promote a great cause!
Well done everyone!
known children’s books and topics. The workshops will capture the children’s imagination through drama, art and music thus ticking off those objectives for you. Children will become engaged with the books and topics so will become more confident and produce higher standards of work, not only in literacy but across all subjects.
