Report written by Alex Murtough (he/him)
You know that old saying...
*Waiting is better than not waiting. *
Um, no hang on, that's not it..
*Being late is better than being early. *
Oh dear, that's not it either...
*GoodGym reports are best served late. *
Is that it? I don't know, I've lost the plot.
Okay fine... I haven't.
But I'm late writing this and I'm trying to evade criticism. And I was intending on doing this by talking about the wonderful belated celebrations we were celebrating on Wednesday, and how my intelligent report-writing-timing mirrored the belated nature of these celebrations, and how that gets me off the hook, because it was utterly intended, and not absent-minded in the slightest........
Okay!!
There was....
Which was where we started with the evening. A big circle of positivity sharing and congratulating and well wishing at the same time. It was lovely.
And then we were off. Warmed up with drama games, on the move with a little running, and arriving with good intentions at the wonderful More2Childcare.
Met by Eve, we split into groups to work our volunteering magic over More2 for the evening. We had cleaners; sorters and filers; gardeners; and builders (Alex, Andy, Marta and Steve constructed a lovely cupboard), and it was wonderful to witness the sheer amount of work a big GoodGym group can accomplish.
We then shot off for a happy few hours in the pub to celebrate our belated celebrations, as well as to toast an evening well spent.
Thanks for a lovely one, folks :)

Worth the wait, awesome report! And to quote a lovely Welsh phrase - tardy! :)
